Saturday, the first major match of the season.
Krasnodar – Lokomotiv
In the first round, the midfielders played against each other or against representatives of the classic group of six leaders RPL. In the second round, Lokomotiv visits Krasnodar. The metropolitan team will test its ambition. Coach Musaev had a difficult match against Paris Saint-Germain in Kazan. The opponent played very well, then made three stupid mistakes. A similar scenario was observed in the Lokomotiv and Sochi matches. The visitors often had possession, and then striker Rudenko scored goals. Musaev’s future rivals and Galaxy won by the same score 3:0. There’s no clear favorite in this pairing, as Lokomotiv is young and bold, and Krasnodar is entering the season with its players still undisturbed. A draw with goals cannot be ruled out.
“Wings of the Soviets” – “Paris NN”
Krasnodar and Lokomotiv will play on Saturday, and a match in Samara will open the tour. The Krasnodar striker, rented only from “Railways,” helped coach Adiev to avoid losing to Acropolis. They played in Samara, while “Wings of the Soviets” have a second home game. There’s no need to fly anywhere. “Paris NN” officially started in a home game, but ran to Kazan. The new coach, Spilersky, has made a pleasing start to the game, but Nizhny Novgorod hasn’t developed any initial ideas. This pairing features two teams with unconvincing individual defenders. In other words, it all comes down to the execution of moments. Paris Saint-Germain have acquired a brilliant newcomer—they hired Olusegun from Krasnodar. Grulev and Boselli are equally good. It’s time to score goals.
“Spartak” – “Baltika”
As promised in the title, the favorites won’t be left alone. Although Baltika is a newcomer this season, the team has an experienced coach, Talalaev, and a well-defined off-the-ball game. It’s unlikely the Kaliningrad club will be weaker than Dynamo Makhachkala in the starting lineup. That opponent had a tough time with Spartak, with referees led by Kazartsev, a referee from St. Petersburg. Now for the turning point in the North Baltic. Spartak is playing at home, and it’s a Trump shot. Markinos scored the first goal in the Russian Premier League. The appetite is growing, and I want to add new dishes to the menu. Stankovich’s team wasn’t exactly smooth, but Spartak has few changes in the lineup. They can bend the line from last season. Baltika didn’t lose to Dynamo, so Stankovich should study the mistakes of his neighbors. Karpin didn’t beat Baltika; the coach needs three points against his former club. It’s bad for Dynamo that Rostov played perfectly in the first half in St. Petersburg. After the break, they were tired and lost their advantage. But coach Alba’s players aren’t afraid of an opponent with Osipenko, Glebov, and Karpin. And their old acquaintances won’t allow Rostov to be underestimated. However, CRussian Premier League They know the power of the southerners. Recently, coach Karpin himself has made excellent plans for matches against Dynamo. Now he must destroy his hometown project, Rostov-on-Don. The Muscovites have enough trump cards. There’s an active right-back in Kassez, a clear playmaker in Bitello, and the speedy striker in Gladyshev. But can Karpin eliminate the mistakes in Dynamo’s defense?“Sochi” – “Akron”
The final match on Saturday’s schedule. In the first round, many teams played successfully on defense and conceded 16 goals. There was no reason to scold even those who lost 0:3, like Sochi against Lokomotiv. Akron with Wings of the Soviets received a 1:1 draw, but the team with Dziuba on the field made mistakes in various transition phases. I didn’t like the marriage in Akron’s programs. Rakov’s goal for Wings of the Soviets was also indicative. Vadim ran half the field and had enough strength to hit a ball at a speed of 108 kilometers per hour. Akron cannot be left with such gaps between the lines. The Sochi players analyzed their mistakes against Lokomotiv, and coach Moreno wants to win the first match of the season.

CSKA The match will open Sunday’s second round schedule. Football players Central Sports Club of Armenia
CSKA
They won the Super Bowl in a meeting with Krasnodar, but were unable to break through Orenburg’s goalkeeper Ovsyannikov. The opponent was preparing for Premier League battles, so a draw against a team that had lost many legionnaires was a thorn in the side of a new coach.
CSKA . Chelestini didn’t show his mettle in Orenburg. Akinfeev had to save the “Army” from the sensation and win twice. So far,
Army’s Central Sports Club Problems in attack with the execution of chances. Akhmat has a similar problem. New coach Storozhuk saw 24 shots on Rubin’s goal without headers. After the moments there will be effective shots, Akhmat is a dangerous opponent for Central Sports Club Army . Over the last three gamesRussian Premier League Only one victory for the “army”. “Orenburg” – “Dynamo” Makhachkala Central Sports Club ArmyCSKA “Rubin” – “Zenit” The second round schedule concludes with a fresh match in Kazan. Rubin squeezed as much as possible in Grozny, scoring four goals against the other teams—two goals, a resounding victory. Goalkeeper Staver worked hard, and the defenders made mistakes. It will be more difficult against Zenit, as Semak isn’t happy with the way Rostov played. The coach scolded the players after the 2-1 victory. In the match against the club, for which Sergey Bogdanovich previously played, the season favorites can both secure a narrow victory—in this scenario, they will provide protection and lock in the textures of coach Rakhimov’s game. Zenit’s summer newcomer is torn on the pitch, which means that permutations are possible at the base. Semak has many options, but Rubin hasn’t lost DAC and other leaders.
