Athletistic/Football. Former Russian national team striker Pavel Pogrebnyak spoke about the competition in the current RPL season. Krasnodar and Zenit are now fighting for the championship.
Will Zenit become champions? Let’s wait until November 11th. “Krasnodar” is a competitor from St. Petersburg in the fight for the title. They beat Spartak in the Russian Cup match, so why can’t they take points from Zenit in St. Petersburg?
It’s great that there is real intrigue and competition in the Russian championship. Although there are no Moscow teams in the fight for the title, it would be much worse for the plot if Zenit had already broken away from their pursuers,” Pogrebnyak said in an interview with RB Sport .
Krasnodar has scored 31 points in 14 matches and is in first place in the RPL standings. Vladimir Ivich’s team is two points ahead of Zenit.
On November 11, Zenit will host Krasnodar at their hometown Gazprom Arena in the central match of the 15th round of the RPL. The meeting will start at 7:30 p.m. Moscow time.
