“If the field of the Volga complies with the regulations, then the match with Zenit is better to be held in Ulyanovsk” – Radchenko

The FONBET match of the Russian Cup, in which Zenit will play against Volga, should be held in Ulyanovsk, if possible, believes Dmitry Radchenko, a former football player of the St. Petersburg club.

Earlier, Match TV learned that Zenit offered Volga to declare the Gazprom Arena a reserve stadium if the commission of the Russian Football Union (RFU) does not accept the arena in Ulyanovsk as the main one for the game.

– If the field of “Volga” complies with the regulations and is suitable for playing football, then it is better to hold the match in Ulyanovsk. After all, this is an event for the city, which will be attended by a lot of spectators, so you need to play there. I don’t know where it is better to play if the match cannot be played in Ulyanovsk – in Samara or at the Gazprom Arena.

Zenit offered their conditions and it may turn out that they will play at home, with their fans. Many Volga fans may not make it to St. Petersburg. This is a very difficult question. Of course, Zenit has all the conditions to accept any opponent. Some players from Ulyanovsk may have the only opportunity in their lives to play at the Gazprom Arena, and even with Zenit.

Is it better to play Volga in Samara, because their fans are closer to this city? Perhaps that is why they proposed the option with this city. After all, this is an event for Ulyanovsk and their team. Zenit has been the champion of Russia in recent years and it is very interesting and important for the Volga players and their fans to play with such a team.

The Blue-White-Blues do not insist on a match in St. Petersburg, but simply offered their conditions, where there is a magnificent field and stadium, but the final choice is for Volga. On the contrary, Zenit took a step forward.

I do not think that the RFU will be inactive for a long time. It’s just that there may be disagreements on this issue, which are now being resolved. I am sure that everyone will come to a common denominator in this situation and soon we will hear the verdict,” Radchenko told Metaratings.ru.

“Volga” and “Zenith” will meet in the match ¼ finals of the way of the regions of the Cup of Russia. The game should take place on February 26 on the field of the MELBET‑First League team.

Watch live broadcasts of matches of the Cup of the country on the federal channel “Match TV” and the thematic channels of the holding, as well as on the sites matchtv.ru and sportbox.ru.

The miner is after Olympiacos. Rebalance rating table for Champions League ticket

We continue to examine the future of Donetsk shakhtar To buy tickets directly to the main stage Champions League 2026/27.

This will be possible if the place reserved for the team that wins the Champions League trophy is redistributed.

All important moments of the match are available in LIVE mode Telegram Sport.ua

Donetsk Miner They are in fourth place with a coefficient of 50.250 among the clubs competing for a possible position at the heart of the Champions League.

In the last European week, the Donetsk club added +2.625 points. This increase was achieved with a 0-0 draw with Croatian Rijeka in the 6th round of the Conference League and a sixth place in the main round final table.

Main rival Greek Olympiacos – 56,500 points remaining. The Miners can regain the 6,250-point lead if they perform well in the spring part of the European Cups.

It is interesting that Shakhtar lost the first place in the UPL (Cherkasy has the same number of points as LNZ – 35 points each), and Olympiacos lost the lead in Greece to the AEK team (36 points against 37). Ukrainian striker Roman Yaremchuk plays for the team of the city of Piraeus.

Positions rangers (59,250), 4th in Scotland and Copenhagen (53.375), placed 5th in Denmark, looks less competitive in the rankings due to its position in the national championships. Leader only in championships Dinamo Zagreb And RB Salzburg (44,000 each) but there is no certainty that the turn will come.

Let us remind you that if the cup holder buys a ticket to the Champions League through the national championship, there will be a vacancy in the main squad in the 2026/27 Champions League. In this case, a balance will arise again and if Shakhtar wins the UPL and is ahead of Olympiacos in the UEFA club rankings (or the Greek club does not become the champion of Greece), it can get a direct ticket to the base of the Champions League.

If the Piraeus team is higher in the rankings and takes advantage of the available space, the Donetsk club will start from the 4th quarter of the Champions League, not the 2nd quarter, in case they win in the UPL.
