There is very little left before the start of the 19th round of the WORLD RPL, which means that the time has come for the traditional battle of the forecasts of the expert Alexander Bubnov and the combined editorial office of Sportbox.ru and Match TV. The past week has produced a number of unexpected results. Alexander Viktorovich confirmed the high class by defeating the author Marat Ramazanov.

The next opponent of our expert will be the editor-in-chief of Sportbox.ru Grigory Potapov.

Sochi – Orenburg

Alexander Bubnov – 2:0. In the first game, under the leadership of Kurban Berdyev, Sochi showed an organized and accurate game in defense. This allowed the team to have a confident meeting against CSKA and win on the home field. “Orenburg” traditionally performed unsuccessfully on the road against “Akhmat”. Most likely, the hosts will play this game in a similar vein and achieve victory.

Grigory Potapov – 2:1. I don’t think that the Orenburgers will be able to reverse the statistics of games on foreign fields that are unpleasant for them this season – eight defeats in nine matches! And after the victory over CSKA Sochi will certainly try to extend their unbeaten and winning streak.

Torpedo – Ural

A. B. — 0:1. Ural is well prepared for the spring part of the championship. Gancharenko’s team could even defeat Spartak in the last round. The Urals now have both a game and a better squad than their rivals. The players of Torpedo, although they took a point in Krasnodar, do not look like favorites in this pair.

G.P. – 1:2. It is clear that car manufacturers have nowhere to retreat – glasses are needed like air. The game may be equal, but still my favorite is the team of Viktor Gancharenko.

Akhmat – Lokomotiv

A. B. — 1:2. If the “railroad” show the same quality football as in the game with “Rostov”, then even an away match in Grozny can bring them points. Now Lokomotiv needs to get out of the play-off zone and they really need victories.

G.P. – 2:2. In this game, I will not be surprised by any outcome. And although Loko has significantly strengthened in the winter, and the guests in this pair have been winning regularly lately, I still predict a draw. But the match must be effective.

Spartak – Fakel

A. B. — 3:0. Spartak, after a draw with Ural, will unleash the full power of attacks on the Voronezh team. It will be hard for Fakel to hold out on the away field against the Red-Whites.

G.P. – 3:1. The Red-Whites are stronger in all respects and should not lose points in the second home game in a row. Otherwise, as a result, they can get real problems in the fight for seemingly correct medals.

Krasnodar – Dynamo

A. B. — 1:1. There are two teams showing approximately the same level of play. Krasnodar unexpectedly lost points in the game with Topredo, and Dynamo, although they won, did not impress in the match with Wings of the Soviets. It is logical to assume that there will be a draw.

G.P. – 1:1. Another match on the tour, in which I do not see a clear favorite. Many questions to the game of both teams. Dynamo play away, which gives Krasnodar a slight advantage. But still I believe that the match will end in a draw.

Zenit – Khimki

A. B. — 4:0. We should expect a large number of scoring chances at the Khimki goal. The result will depend on their implementation by Zenit players. Khimki look like obvious outsiders in this match.

G.P. – 3:1. The champion and leader should easily deal with the team from the direct relegation zone, which took points from him in the first round of this season. It will be an achievement for himchans if they avoid defeat.

CSKA – “Wings of the Soviets”

A. B. — 2:1. Wings of the Soviets, of course, look good in terms of the game, but they have a difficult tournament situation. Samarans aggravated her defeat in the last round. CSKA also lost, but on the home field, the Red-Blues will certainly try to break the losing streak. This meeting is very important for the “soldiers”. They risk falling far behind third place in the standings.

G.P. – 3:2. The defeat in Sochi in the previous round should shake up the army team. They are obliged to take points at home if they want to fight for medals. But Samarans, who are distinguished by a good organization of the game, will put up a worthy resistance and will be very close to a draw.

Rostov – Pari NN

A. B. — 2:0. Both teams came to this match after major defeats. The loss of the hosts to Lokomotiv should not be embarrassing. “Railroad” have greatly added lately. Rostov will try to rehabilitate itself in front of the fans on the home field.

G.P. – 2:1. As part of the RPL, these rivals have met three times, and in each case the guests have won so far. I think the Rostovites will break this trend. It is very important for Valery Karpin’s team to break their “black streak”, and Nizhny Novgorod is a fairly convenient opponent for this.
