While Valencia and Chelsea are playing in Tuesday's biggest match, FC Porto and Zenit St. Petersburg are playing in a match that is just as meaningful. APOEL Nicosia is through to the knockout stages of the UEFA Champions League, while Shakhtar Donetsk is out. One of these teams will go through, the other will not. Zenit needs just a draw to go through, while Porto needs to win. The Dragons are playing an unchanged team, with Hulk as a center forward instead of a right forward. Zenit have not selected either of their true center forwards and Danko Lazovic, more commonly a wide forward, should occupy that space. Here are the lineups.
