Athletistic/Football. Former Spartak defender Evgeny Bushmanov assessed Krasnodar’s performance in the current RPL season.

“With the arrival of Ivic, Krasnodar changed last season, they became a balanced team. Now we see that they are quite confident and are winning points. I think they are capable of imposing the competition at Zenit this season. As of today, Krasnodar “is Zenit’s only real competitor,” Bushmanov told RB Sport.

After the first round, Krasnodar leads the RPL standings, with 32 points from 15 matches. Zenit is in second place with 30 points.
