Spartak midfielder Nail Umyarov shared his expectations about the Zenit match that the Moscow team will face in the 5th week of the Russian Premier League (RPL). Umyarov’s words are quoted “Sports Express”.
“In the fifth round, it’s not a great thing. It is clear that this is a derby between the two capitals. It will be an interesting match. In the fifth round, the fate of the championship was not determined. “Whether it’s a championship or not, it’s your point of view that this is a regular match of the fifth round,” said Umyarov.
