Famous Russian coach Gadzhi Gadzhiev, who is currently the president of Dinamo Makhachkala, which is in the leaders group of the First League, said in a statement to socialbites.ca that the leadership in the Russian Premier League during the winter break is very far in itself. It is the guarantee of the championship. At the same time, the expert believes that the tournament will most likely be won by Krasnodar or Zenit, breaking away from their pursuers.
“I remember that year when CSKA were noticeably behind and they won almost all the matches in the last 11 rounds and became champions. And there are many such examples. Therefore, these two teams are already guaranteed to take first and second place. As for Zenit, maybe we can say this. In terms of player selection, level and according to the results of recent years, this team is the strongest and most stable. Therefore, we can say that it is very difficult for the remaining group to catch up with Zenit,” he said.
While Krasnodar is leading the RPL standings with 32 points after 15 weeks, they are two points behind the current championship holder Zenit. While Dinamo Moscow, Krylya Sovetov Samara and CSKA in the following group received 25 points each, the capital Spartak and Lokomotiv were missing points. The 16th round will be the last round before the winter break.
