Российская премьер-лига
News Starting from 12 August and till 18 August the matches of the 2rd and 4th tours of the SOGAZ-Russian Football Championship will be held without any interval.
The tournament started with a boost of picturesque and sticking to our memory matches. During the first two tours the teams scored 58 goals to each other! On average the efficiency is more than great – more than 3,5 goals per match.
According to the results of the two tours, three clubs go on without any losses – main favourites of the seasons – Zenit and PFC CSKA, as well as Spartak Moscow, whose real chances are difficult to estimate so far. There are also teams, which have not gained any points yet. We are speaking about Torpedo and Arsenal promoted from FNL, as well as about long-term resident of Premier League – Amkar from Perm. By the way, Torpedo and Amkar will be playing against each other in the 3rd tour.
Trip of Spartak to Krasnodar to play against FC Krasnodar is going to be quite interesting. The end of the previous season is quite fresh in our memory so far, when the red-and-white team lost 4:0. Besides, two more players with ex-Spartak careers have come to Krasnodar this summer – goalkeeper Dikan and midfield Bystrov.
The first show team of Premier League Ufa will be hosting Dynamo Moscow. After long negotiations and meetings it was decided that the match will still be played at Dynamo stadium in Ufa. Ural will host Zenit, which has scored 12 goals to its opponents during the two tours. The club from Ekaterinburg is playing not very well at its own stadium. In the previous season they scored only 13 points in 15 matches. In the current season – one in two matches.
Arsenal Tula will be hosting Rubin. We expect the third sold out at the stadium in Tula. The team of Dmitry Alenichev will do their best for sure in order to get at least the first point in the Premier League. PFC CSKA will be hosting Terek, and Mordovia will be hosting Kuban. A tough competition is expected in these matches as well.
The 4th tour will be marked by the main derby of the country. PFC CSKA will be hosting Spartak in Khimki. The name of the match participants are more than serious – the competition will be non-compromising and tough. And Arena Khimki for sure will be sold out. This match will be broadcasted on NTV Channel.
And as for the most long-awaited events it will be the first match of Rubin at the new stadium – Kazan-Arena. At this stadium the match of the 4th tour Rubin – Lokomotiv will be played.
