Former player of the Russian national team Andrei Arshavin summed up the results of the FONBET Russian Cup matches, and also spoke about the chances of Zenit and Spartak in the 26th round of the WORLD RPL.
– I thought that Krasnodar would deal with Akron in regular time. But they are great, survived, fought. This is a good story for the Cup of Russia. This is good for the fans, but I think that Krasnodar is more worthy to go further. Safonov is dragging his second penalty shootout, he justifies that he is one of the best goalkeepers in Russia.
CSKA is the favourite? If Krasnodar goes further, then there will be an equal match. If Ural, then CSKA will be the favorite, – Arshavin said on the air of Match TV.
Also, the ex-player of the Russian national team shared his expectations from the match of the 26th round of the WORLD RPL Zenit – Spartak.
“Spartak” started the spring well, then it got feverish and such drops began. The team has character, but there are a lot of young guys in the team who do not have a reserve of skill, so a lot depends on physics and luck. But this is not always balanced, and therefore such a difference in the result.
Great excitement is expected for the match with Spartak, this time 45,000 spectators are predicted. Everyone is waiting, but they will also watch the match between Rostov and Fakel. “Zenith” must run “Spartak” with a score of 3:1. As for Malcolm, 8-9 points out of 10 is his score in the spring. A lot depends on it. Is Malcolm the best legionnaire in history? Hulk or Danny – they had more stable seasons, – added Arshavin.
