Will Spartak beat Krasnodar away? Bubnov vs Sportbox.ru. 2nd round

Alexander Bubnov

Gleb Tomashevsky, the author of Sportbox.ru, challenged the expert.

The second round of the RPL is on the nose, which means it’s time for the heading “Bubnov vs Sportbox.ru”. Last week the expert defeated our colleague Revaz Kurtanidze with a score of 14:5. Who will be stronger this time?

“Zenith” – “Wings of the Soviets” – 3: 0

Alexander Bubnov – 3:1. Of course, Zenit will be extremely motivated, because they drew in the first round. Against Khimki, the Petersburgers did not close to using their potential. Faced with organized resistance, they had virtually no scoring chances. Perhaps it was also an underestimation. I don’t think anything like this will ever happen against the Wings.

Gleb Tomashevsky – 3:1. Zenit lost points with Khimki and will try to prove that it was just an unfortunate accident. The Wings have many advantages, but if the Zenith turns on at full capacity, resistance will be useless.

CSKA – Sochi – 3:0

AB – 1:0. CSKA had a good match with Ural (2:0). Sochi also confidently won in the first round, but the lack of leaders – Mateo Cassierra and Rodrigo – is affecting. I’ll bet on CSKA, especially since Vladimir Fedotov is fully informed about the opponent’s strengths and weaknesses.

GT – 2:2. Both teams have everything in order with the attack and far from everything with the defense. I believe in the game at high speeds, which will end in a draw.

“Orenburg” – “Ural” – 3: 0

AB – 1:0. I will give preference to Orenburg, which is better prepared functionally and showed sharp attacking football in the first round. In addition, they play on their own field, and Ural will have to adapt to the synthetic surface. The guys of Igor Shalimov at the beginning of the season generally look sluggish. They have huge problems with the organization of the game in all lines.

GT – 1:0. “Ural” in the match with CSKA looked depressing. In its current state, Yekaterinburg will not be able to impose a fight even on a newcomer to the RPL.

Krasnodar – Spartak – 1:4

AB – 1:2. Spartak managed to save the game in Grozny in the minority. Such an excellent second half should add confidence and boost morale. The psychological state of the “red-whites” is better, which will be a key factor. However, the “bulls”, of course, will not give up without a fight.

GT – 1:2. Both will score, but the Red-Whites are better on defense. Guillermo Abascal will finally know the taste of victory on Russian soil.

Khimki – PARI NN

AB – 2:1. Khimki looks much more preferable. In the match against the champion of Russia, they could even win. As for PARI NN, Mikhail Galaktionov’s team simply rebounded in the game against Lokomotiv. I bet on the owners.

GT — 2:0. Draw “NN” with “Locomotive” was largely accidental. Khimki, on the contrary, fully deserved their 1-1 victory over Zenit. The favorite is obvious.

Dynamo – Torpedo

AB – 2:0. From the first game, I can say that Torpedo is not impressive at all. Avtozavodtsev waiting for this season the struggle for survival. Although they took first place in the FNL, now they are worse than Fakel and Orenburg. So, I think we will have an easy victory for Dynamo.

GT — 2:0. “Torpedo” still looks like a stranger at the celebration of life. In the Moscow derby, car manufacturers have no chance.

“Akhmat” – “Torch”

AB – 1:0. Akhmat will be set aggressively – as always at the home stadium. “Torch” is bold, bright and technical, but in this case, experience and motivation will decide everything. Grozny is extremely important to score points in his field.

GT – 1:2. “Torch” was the main surprise of the first round. If the magnificent draw with Krasnodar was not a single burst of football inspiration, then Voronezh go to Grozny as favorites.

Lokomotiv – Rostov

AB – 1:2. Now it is clear that Rostov is perfectly prepared functionally, and Valery Karpin has no problems with personnel. If in the match against Loko the team shows the same level of play as against Dynamo, then it may well win.

GT – 1:1. Lokomotiv showed good attacking football against PARI NN, but the implementation of the railway workers is just a nightmare. Yes, and there are questions about the defense – if Krotov scores for you, then you have big problems. So it’s a draw again.

Accurate score – 4 points

Exact goal difference – 3 points

The former president of the Ukrainian Football Federation is wanted in Ukraine

The Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) has placed the former president of the Ukrainian Football Federation (UAF) on the wanted list. Andrei Pavelko. This comes from Ukrainian data Ministry of Internal Affairs.

According to the database, Pavelko is accused of two criminal articles: embezzlement, misappropriation of property or misappropriation of property through abuse of office, committed on a large scale or by an organized group, as well as official forgery.

On October 9, it became known that the former UAF president had been indicted on new charges. As clarified by the Strana publication, the investigation believes that Pavelko and a group of other Ukrainian football officials took possession of 9.32 million euros, which UAF received from the Union of European Football Associations (of UEFA) in 2015-2016.

Pavelko had previously been accused of carrying out bribery schemes during the construction of a plant to produce artificial turf for football pitches. In this case, the president of the association was arrested in November 2022, but managed to get bail. In June 2023 he was arrested again; only in February 2024 did he win the appeal and was released. In the same year, according to Ukrainian AveragePavelko traveled abroad, submitting a certificate of disability. Then “Strana” associated the persecution of Pavelko with the fact that Vladimir Zelensky was pressuring him to force him to hand over the position of president of the association to Ukrainian footballer Andrei Shevchenko, who eventually led the UAF in January 2024.

The RFU does not rule out Karpin merging the posts again

Russian Football Federation (RFU) does not rule out an agreement with the coach of the Russian national team Valery Karpin reconciling work in the national team and the club. The Secretary General spoke about it in an interview RFU Maxim Mitrofanov.

In November Karpin announced his departure from Dinamo Moscow; he had been working at the club since June. Later, in an interview with Rossiya 24 TV channel, he ruled out a future combination.

“Never say ‘never’, everything happens in life,” Mitrofanov said in response to the question of whether he agreed RFU once again combining Karpin. — Basic RFU against the combination of the work of the national team and club coaches. But during the period of exclusion from official competitions this combination is in some cases possible; several coaches, even at the helm of the national teams, combine their work with that of the club”.

“If we talk about the normal competitive period in which the federation and its team should exist, the combination is impossible, the coach and his staff must be completely focused on the team and solving the assigned tasks. We do not know whether Valery Georgievich will ever contact us again with the question of the combination. I don’t think he knows it either. But it seems to me that he himself has drawn important conclusions and expressed them. The combination places a greater burden on the football team. There, too, they must correctly evaluate their capabilities. When a coach is in the national team, objectively he cannot deal with club matters,” Mitrofanov added.

Previously, Karpin also combined work in the national team and Rostov, but left the club in February this year.
