Aldonin believes that CSKA will have a psychological advantage in the derby with Spartak

Former CSKA midfielder Evgeny Aldonin believes that the army team will have some psychological advantage over Spartak in the 28th round of the WORLD RPL, but in general, the teams will have equal chances of winning.

The meeting between CSKA and Spartak will take place on Sunday at the home stadium of the Red-Whites. After 27 rounds of the MIR RPL, CSKA scored 54 points and ranks second in the standings, Spartak (50) is fourth.

– Nominally, CSKA is the favorite in the derby. You can cite statistics as much as you like, but this is a fundamental confrontation. I remember when I played for CSKA, we spent a very good segment in the championship, and Spartak was then led by Laudrup. The Red-Whites did not play very well, and we looked good, but in the end we lost to them (0:1).

The psychological state of CSKA is now very good. “Spartak” is a little feverish, the team is losing points where they did not plan. It has nothing to do with the derby. Spartak will play at their stadium, with crazy support. Because of this, the chances are equal. CSKA will have some psychological advantage.

No one guarantees anyone victory in this confrontation. A very difficult match, silver medals are at stake. A draw is the result in favor of Rostov. Both teams need to win. I would like to see good quality attacking football,” Aldonin told RB Sport.

Watch the live broadcast of the game on the Match TV channel on Sunday from 15:30 Moscow time, as well as on matchtv.ru and sportbox.ru websites.
