Former Lokomotiv footballer Dmitry Sennikov believes that Zenit St. Petersburg will soon catch up with Krasnodar, the leader in the Russian championship.
After 12 rounds, Vladimir Ivich’s team leads the MIR RPL standings, five points ahead of second-placed Zenit.
— In the near future, Zenit will catch up with Krasnodar. The Bulls have enough strength to fight for the championship after the winter break. Yes, Krasnodar stumbled, but overall they still have reserves.
— Does Krasnodar need new players to fight with Zenit for the championship?
— We need to see how Krasnodar will spend the end of the first part of the season. Maybe a spot boost is needed. When players first have matches for the national team, and then play away, it is always difficult,” RB Sport quotes Sennikov.
Zenit and Krasnodar will meet on November 11 in St. Petersburg in the match of the 15th round of the Russian championship.
