Athletistic / Football. Legendary Spartak defender Evgeny Lovchev spoke about the race for the RPL championship. According to him, against the background of the problems in Krasnodar, the favorite for the gold medal in the national championship is once again Zenit from St. Petersburg.
“In the spring, “Krasnodar” comes out and cannot beat either team (draw with “Rubin” – 1:1 and defeat against “Rostov” – 1:2 – Rating Athletistic). Zenit will be champion because this team is stronger. The St. Petersburg team will not lose as many points as Krasnodar,” Lovchev said according to Match TV.
“Krasnodar” scored 39 points in 20 matches and is currently the leader of the Russian championship. Vladimir Ivich’s team is two points ahead of its closest pursuer, Zenit, but the blue-white-blue have a game in hand. On March 9, the Zenit team from Yekaterinburg will meet with the local Ural.
Note that Zenit became Russian champions five times in a row.
