In a Group that is still very much up for grabs, Anderlecht and Zenit St Petersburg will look to make the right moves as the two teams face off in the Champions League.
Malaga lead Group C with seven points, with Milan on four, Zenit on three and Anderlecht on one point having played three matches each.
Zenit defeated the Belgian side 1-0 in the reverse fixture a couple of weeks ago, with Anderlecht manager John Van Den Brom looking to turn things around for his side. "The result at Zenit means there is more pressure on this match," he said. "If we still want to do something in Europe then we will have to win.
"Zenit are in a good situation but they also need to win here to stay in the Champions League after the winter. In the past week we have scored nine league goals, all from open play -- no set pieces --so the fact that we have not scored in the Champions League this season should not be an issue.
"We know we need to score goals, so we will have to take care of that. We have taken confidence from those league results and also the way we played at Zenit. We will have to be patient as we do not need to win this match in the first ten minutes.
Zenit will be without big-name signing Hulk, who is out with a hamstring injury, and the Russian side will look to their other big buy this summer - Axel Witsel.
"Both sides have to win," Zenit manager Luciano Spalletti said. "We will see how the game starts and develops, and each team will have to adapt to what happens. Both teams play an attacking game, and I think both will play that way because they need the points.
"Anderlecht are a very strong team with a good coach and players and they are going through a good spell, which makes it even harder for us. Sometimes a match can go one way or the other because of an individual moment of brilliance or a mistake, but if Zenit are at our best we will win.
"Axel Witsel is a versatile player so he can play everywhere. Of course when a player arrives at a club he needs some time to adapt to the gameplan, but the more he plays the better he feels."
