Aja Huang predicts 3-0 or 2-1 win for Zen.
Also the version that gotta play might be the newly released 12.8 which is now competing in computer go server.
Even without the aid of GPU, it's already two stones stronger than the commercial release Zenith Go 6 v.11.4 back in June (which is also two stones stronger than Zenith Go 5 v.10.2 that released back in 2013)
My opinion, if AlphaGo help provide the match's winrate that'd be great, or even better, an alternative move.

Where can we find the list of the best engines? I can't seem to find it when searching for computer go server, only some list from 2012.

Seems like the 12.5 version is the strongest, or is this a mistake because other version haven't played as many games.

See the code name too, 12.5 1c1g mean use 1cpu and 1gpu
other versions are 1c0g so they don't use gpu.

The Nihon Ki-in just announced there will be live English commentary by Michael Redmond and Antti Tormanen:

As already informed, the Nihon Ki-in agrees with Deep Zen Go's programmer and its sponsor to set out ‘three game matches’ with the legendary Cho Chikun 9p on 19th, 20th and 23rd November 2016!!
Deep Zen Go is seen as the second best computer go program now in the world because it gets the same deep learning system as AlphaGo.
*For your reference, Deep Zen got the ranking No.1 as KGS 9-dan in September 2016 and he has got even stronger now since then.
So many people in Japan expect Cho Chikun would be beaten by Deep Zen Go. Let's see that it will happen.

Look like AGA and Myungwan Kim 9p will also do youtube stream too, with 2 hours late as usual. I'll watch this over nico stream or other relay.
