Former “Rostov” coach Sergey Balakhnin shared his expectations from Rostov’s Russian Premier League (RPL) match against “Krasnodar”.
I believe Rostov will be the favourite. Krasnodar played a Cup match with Ural this week, they will get tired today. I think Krasnodar can save the players for the final against CSKA. Rostov needs points for the Russian Championship medals, Balakhnin told socialbites.ca.
The meeting will be held on May 21. The teams will enter the field at 19:00 Moscow time.
