Football expert and former Rostov coach Sergei Balakhnin talked about the distribution of standings at the end of the season in the Russian Premier League (RPL).
“Championship plot is long dead. There were suggestions that only someone could remove Zenit from first place. The truth turned out to be different. Zenit has a comfortable leadership and the team will not give anything to anyone.
Spartak and CSKA will definitely target the top three. Maybe Dynamo will join them. Between these four teams, the second and third places will be played, ”says Balakhnin. “Euro-Football.Ru”.
In the final round, the Rostovs drew in Orenburg, allowing Zenit to go further.
