Zenit will come to fight for the championship, Rostov has a lot of losses in the squad, although they could give the Petersburgers a fight at their home stadium in the 23rd round of the WORLD RPL, said the former midfielder of Spartak and the Russian national team Andrey Tikhonov.

– Perhaps, this is the main match not only of the tour, but of the entire championship. Here, most likely, the fate of gold medals will be decided. If Zenit wins, he will have a 12-point lead, and with seven rounds to go, this is already an almost unattainable advantage. In the case of the victory of the Rostovites, the distance will be reduced to six points – and this is already very realistic to catch up. And it seems that the leader of the championship allows you to play with him, does not tightly lock any doors, and Rostov could fight at home, the team has character. But too many losses have fallen right now. Too many cards were picked up with Orenburg. Due to injuries and suspensions, four base players will miss the game. The guests will be missing only one Brazilian defender, who will not be difficult to replace. Zenit will come to fight for the championship, Rostov will remain second, even if they lose. Will the players be motivated enough to outdo themselves? Will Karpin be able to squeeze the maximum in one single fight? Let’s see,” Tikhonov told Metaratings.ru.

Zenit tops the WORLD RPL standings with 54 points, Rostov is second with 45 points. The match of the 23rd round between the teams will take place on April 16 in Rostov-on-Don.

The meeting of the 23rd round of the WORLD RPL “Rostov” – “Zenith” will begin at 19:00 (Moscow time). Watch the live broadcast of the match from 18:40 Moscow time on the Match TV channel, as well as on matchtv.ru and sportbox.ru websites.
