Retired player “Spartacus” and the Russian team Andrei Tikhonov think “Urals” favorite of the second leg of the semi-finals of RPL FONBET Way of the Russian Cup with the Reds-Whites.
The meeting will be held in Yekaterinburg on April 4. The first match, which took place in Moscow, ended with the score 1:1.
– It won’t be easy for Spartak, the team lost after the fight against Zenit. There will be no Promes taking damage. Moreover, the team is in a difficult psychological situation now. After a brilliant game in the offseason, the fans had high expectations, but Abascal’s team doesn’t justify them. So the favorite in this game for me is the Urals,” Tikhonov told KP Sport.
Tikhonov highlighted Ural’s strengths, noting the pitch factor and more stable play.
“Urals did not lose for a long time, except they lost to Zenit, but it’s not easy for everyone against St. Petersburgers. “Urals” show solid football. Urals have a game more stable than Spartak. Also, your field factor will affect. If Yekaterinburg wins, I wouldn’t be surprised.
“Spartak” the worse, the better for him. The home ground factor will be for the Urals. Yekaterinburg won’t have Gazinsky, which means Spartak will feel better from corners and set pieces, Tikhonov summed up.
The live broadcast of the match will be available on April 4 on the and MATCH PREMIER TV channels, as well as on the matchtv.ru and sportbox.ru websites. The broadcast starts at 4:45 p.m., the game starts at 5:00 p.m.
