Former CSKA player Evgeny Aldonin shared his expectations from the match of the 13th round of the MIR RPL, in which the army team will meet Krasnodar.

The match between CSKA and Krasnodar will take place in Moscow at the VEB Arena on October 29.

— Despite the fact that they are playing in Moscow, it is a difficult match. “Krasnodar” now looks very worthy and rightfully takes first place.

— Will this match test Krasnodar’s championship ambitions?

– Yes, one of those matches, but it’s too early to talk about it. “Krasnodar” has never topped the standings or been in first place, and this is not a very easy time for psychology. Therefore, there will still be many nuances here.

— Will you be able to stay this high until the middle of the championship?

— I like the kind of football Krasnodar plays. They have a fairly young team and each line has its own leaders. By and large, I am for additional intrigue in the championship. I like that now, as always, Zenit is not in first place. And I would really like Krasnodar to continue to demonstrate beautiful, bright and effective football.

— Krasnodar is still the favorite in this meeting?

— No, I think it’s 50/50, because CSKA regularly has problems with its lineup. Now Mukhin is also injured, who covered the position of central defender. Again you need to play new combinations. Doing this in a match with a team that is in first place is, of course, not the best option, because you can get it,” Metaratings.ru quotes Aldonin as saying.
