The question of whether the result of the match “Spartak” – “Zenith” affects the fight for first place and gold is too early to discuss. However, the victory of one of the teams will certainly have an impact on the situation. Gladilin thinks both teams are equal, but he prefers red and white. His argument is that Zenit have lost Malcolm and Kuzyaev, and haven’t found their game yet. The Petrograders also have problems with interaction in attack. However, “Spartacus” has weaknesses in defense.
According to Gladilin, if we compare the teams, Zenit have a stronger defense, while Spartak’s attacking line is stronger. However, in terms of style of play, neither team impresses Gladilin. He believes that both teams are in the same situation and are looking for their form. Both have their own problems, which affected the starting results of the championship.
