Zenit is very good so far and looks like the favorite in the match against Rubin – Dyakov

Former Dynamo footballer Vitaly Dyakov called Zenit the favorite in the MIR RPL match with Rubin.

The 2nd round of the MIR RPL will take place in Kazan on July 27 and will start at 17:30 Moscow time. In the opening round, Zenit beat Krylia Sovetov with a score of 4:0, Rubin was stronger than PARI NN — 4:2.

— Zenit is very good so far and looks like the favorite in the match with Rubin. Kazan has a very strong team that can get on the opponent’s nerves both at home and away. If the St. Petersburg club did not start the last season very well, and all the other matches were tough, then this year Semak’s team steamrolled Krasnodar (in the Russian Super Cup — Ed.) and Krylia Sovetov.

I am very happy for Glushenkov, who has fit into the team as if he has been playing for it for five years. If Claudino leaves, it will not be very bad for Zenit. It is very important for the team to keep Wendel now, because he is one of the key players. It so happened that Zenit now has two good squads, – Dyakov told RB Sport.
