Former Terek striker and current chairman of the Makhachkala Legion Shamil Lakhiyalov answered the question of who will fight for the championship in the new MIR RPL season.
The matches of the first round of the 2024/25 season will take place from July 20 to 22. Zenit beat Krasnodar with a score of 4:2 in the match for the OLIMPBET Russian Super Cup.
— Zenit sent a message to all clubs, fans and football experts through the Super Cup that they are the main contenders for the championship in the new season, as in previous years. Zenit’s only competitor is themselves. Even if something suddenly goes wrong, during the winter break, Zenit will certainly weaken its competitors and solve the problem. How it did last season with Krasnodar. When I commented on Akhmetov’s transfer from Krasnodar to Zenit, I said: it is not a fact that Akhmetov will strengthen Zenit, but it is a fact that Krasnodar has weakened. And that is what happened. Krasnodar has lost a fighting unit that could make a difference: to decide the outcome of matches by coming on as a substitute. Unfortunately, Akhmetov is not able to do this at Zenit. Perhaps it was precisely the lack of those two or three points that Akhmetov did not bring to Krasnodar by moving to Zenit that cost Krasnodar the championship.
It will be interesting to watch Spartak with a new head coach and Dynamo, whether they will be able to compete with Zenit for the second year in a row. With the sale of Glushenkov, Lokomotiv has given up its championship ambitions. CSKA, judging by its acquisitions, is not a fact that it will be among the leaders. So the fight will most likely be between Zenit, Zenit again, and then Dynamo and Spartak, “Lakhiyalov was quoted as saying by Euro-Futbol.Ru.
