Former forward of the Russian national football team Pavel Pogrebnyak believes that Lokomotiv Moscow has not yet secured itself from participating in play-offs for the right to remain in the WORLD of the Russian Premier League (RPL).
With 25 points, the railway workers are in 11th place in the RPL standings. After the winter break, the team of Mikhail Galaktionov scored four victories in four championship matches.
– I have no doubt that Lokomotiv will do well this season, but it’s too early to say that the team has avoided play-offs. You still need to score a certain number of points in order to say this with confidence, ”Championship” quotes Pogrebnyak.
“Lokomotiv” on Sunday will take St. Petersburg “Zenith” in the match of the 22nd round of the RPL. Watch the live broadcast of the meeting starting at 19:15 on the Match TV channel, as well as on matchtv.ru and sportbox.ru websites. The starting whistle will sound at 20:00.
