(Reuters) - Valencia have some significant injury absentees but coach Nuno believes they still have enough quality to beat Champions League Group H leaders Zenit St Petersburg on Tuesday.

A win for Valencia at the Petrovskiy stadium will see them join Zenit, who beat them 3-2 in Spain in September, in the last 16 as long as Belgian side Ghent fail to win at Olympique Lyonnais in the section's other game.
