The challenge to the expert was thrown by the author of Sportbox.ru Alexey Zheleznov.
The next round of the WORLD RPL is the next issue of the “Bubnov vs. Sportbox.ru” column. Last week, the expert won back behind the editors, and now the score is equal. This time, Alexei Zheleznov is playing against the former defender of the USSR national team.
Who will take the lead?
Alexander Bubnov – 0:1. Orenburg has changed its coach, which means that an emotional outburst is possible. However, CSKA needs to rehabilitate itself after the defeat from Dynamo in the last round. And leaders cannot be let go. The game will not be easy, but Fedotov’s experience and the class of army players should have an effect.
Alexey Zheleznov – 1:2. Both teams lost in the previous round, but the psychological situation in the teams is different. The hosts are demoralized after a bad start with Jiri Yaroshik, who left the post of coach. New coach David Deogracia may provide the necessary impetus for the first victory of the season, but the army team is unlikely to afford a second defeat in a row.
AB – 1:2. “Torch” rests everywhere, and at home in particular. But Krasnodar is not just in the lead. The team shows good attacking football, and it doesn’t matter where they play – away or at home.
AJ – 1: 1. The first team goes to visit the penultimate one. It seems that this says it all. But whether Krasnodar is ready for the burden of leadership is a big question. Moreover, the players from Voronezh finally won their first victory in the last round. The match will be difficult and may well end in a draw.
AB – 2:0. It makes no sense to talk about what Zenith is capable of, everyone already knows this. After misfires at the start, Semak’s team cannot lose points. “Ural” is in the lead, but it will definitely play on defense – “Zenith” will force. Petersburgers will definitely have scoring chances, the question is implementation. Psychologically, it will be easier for the guests, but, nevertheless, I bet on the hosts.
AZh – 2:1. Ekaterinburg continues to amaze and, along with Krasnodar, remain the only team without defeat in the championship. Even a round ago, many would have given the advantage in this meeting to the Urals, but the victory of Zenit over Spartak returned the status of favorites to Semak’s players. The most important match of the first round, capable of finally rehabilitating the hosts. And they know very well how to hold key meetings.
AB – 0:2. “Dynamo” with Lichka adds. The latest results speak to the potential they have. Having a powerful attack, the team became more reliable in defense. If they continue in the same spirit, by the winter break it is quite possible for them to join the fight for gold. Rubin is an outsider of the RPL and is inferior to the opponent in terms of the game.
AJ – 1:2. Kazan had the first victory this season, which reassured the fans and extinguished rumors about the resignation of Rashid Rakhimov. Dynamo, with the reckless football of Marcel Lichka, is in the top three. I expect that Rubin will again be on the defensive and count on the high Daku. But this is hardly enough even for a draw.
AB – 2:1. After the match with Zenit, Abaskal had a lot of questions about the choice of the squad. I messed up so much that it affected the game and the result! And now no one can predict what Spartak’s lineup will be for the match with Akhmat. However, Grozny residents also have enough problems. Romashchenko hasn’t changed anything in the game yet, only his attitude has changed. Spartak now, of course, needs a victory. Otherwise, there will be very strong pressure on Abaskal. I bet on the “red-white”, but you should not expect a big advantage.
AJ – 3: 1. The Red-Whites have painted themselves into a corner. Having flawlessly started the season, Spartak lost to competitors in two meetings in a row. In order not to lose the chance to fight for the championship, you need to win. True, Akhmat will enter the Otkritie Bank Arena in a good mood after defeating Orenburg in the last round in the first game under the leadership of Romashchenko. The match will be tense, but productive.
AB – 1:0. After Osipenko was injured, I immediately said that Rostov would have problems. Young boys play defense. Hence the failures: young people lack composure and skill. “Novgorod” is gradually starting to rise. You need to score points at home so as not to be in the danger zone again. It’s hard for everyone to play against Nizhny, especially on their field. I look forward to a viscous game in which the hosts will be stronger.
AJ – 1: 1. Evil “Rostov” after the disaster in the match with “Sochi” will come to Nizhny Novgorod to rehabilitate. Karpin knows how to set up his guys, but the southerners will have to face the saturated defense of Juran. There is no obvious favorite in the match, so I bet on a draw.
AB – 1:0. “Wings” are now at the top and demonstrate good football. Osinkin’s game in attack is set, despite the losses. However, Samarans have already lost to Baltika this season in the Russian Cup. Now the mood of the hosts will definitely be outrageous. The probability that Baltika will take the points is quite high, but the experience and the home field factor speak for Krylia.
AJ – 2:0. Making a forecast for the games of Samarans this year is like guessing on coffee grounds. The scenario can be anything: from an enchanting game in attack to insulting blunders in defense. Guests will dance from the stove and look for a chance to counterattack. But the strength of Osinkin’s players’ combination play should provide the hosts with a positive result.
AB – 1:1. Everyone thought that Loko would now trample, would fight for the championship. The attack group is really good, but not everything is so simple. In the last two matches, they should have burned out, but rebounded. In Sochi, there are quite a lot of experienced players who play well. The same Noboa and Yusupov are very high-level players for the RPL. The game is likely to be sharp: Loko will attack aggressively, while Sochi will respond with counterattacks. I don’t think there will be a winner for the team.
AZh – 2:1. At the beginning of the championship, any neutral fan would have given preference to the Muscovites. But now everything has changed. Railway workers are slipping, and Sochi is beginning to gain confidence in itself. Khokhlov’s players will try to build on their success and win a second victory in a row at home.

The scorer of the brace against Chelsea is an Aston Villa player. Ollie Watkins appointed head coach of the team Unai Emery tactical genius. Watkins’ comment is quoted by the BBC in reference to Sky Sports.
The meeting of the 18th round of the English championship between Aston Villa and Chelsea from London ended with a strong victory for the Birmingham team with a score of 2:1.
“He changed tactics because Chelsea played man-marking, but he had an extra central defender when we played long balls. When I came on in the second half, he put Jadon Sancho and Morgan Rodgers on the wing and put Youri Tielemans in the No. 10 position, so we had an extra player. He’s a tactical genius,” Watkins said.
“Amazing victory. For me personally, to go on the pitch and score two goals is a fantastic feeling, but to continue that streak and come here to such a difficult place and beat Chelsea is just incredible,” he added.
Aston Villa, under the leadership of former Spartak Moscow coach Emery, won 11 in a row. The team won 8 matches in the English championship and 3 in the Europa League.
In the English championship standings Aston Villa is in 3rd place with 39 points. In the next round, the Birmingham team will play away against Arsenal, leaders of the Premier League (42 points).
