(Reuters) - Borussia Dortmund fans will be offered tea and pies at Zenit St Petersburg on Tuesday but there will be no such generosity on the pitch with the Russians intent on reaching their first Champions League quarter-final.

Zenit would appear to be rank outsiders against last season's runners-up after scraping through the group stage with a measly six points, the lowest-ever total with which a team has reached the round of 16.
