Former Spartak football player Yuri Kovtun believes that the fate of prize-winning places in the RPL will be decided in the last round.
– Both CSKA and Spartak understand that they need full motivation for the remaining games in order to win second place. It all depends on the army team and the Red-Whites themselves.
Opponents of the Moscow clubs themselves need to win – “Wings” are fighting for joints, “Rostov” and “Krasnodar” want to be as high as possible in the standings. Everyone has their own tasks, so it is difficult to single out someone, everything will be decided in the last round.
Yes, in terms of the game, CSKA is now more stable than Spartak. The Red-Whites did not take points in those matches in which they could, but I think after the derby their mood will only become more and more serious, – Kovtun told Metaratings.ru.
“Zenith” ahead of schedule became the champion of Russia and is in the lead with 66 points in the asset. On the second line is CSKA (54), followed by Spartak (53). Rostov is in fourth place (50), Akhmat is fifth (49).
