RPL's Main Intrigue: Six Teams Competing for Gold

Russian coach Yuri Semin foresees

Russian coach Yuri Semin foresees an exciting battle among RPL leaders, with «Krasnodar», «Zenit», and «Lokomotiv» taking center stage.

Renowned Russian coach Yuri Semin expressed confidence that six teams will actively participate in the battle for victory in the current Russian Championship season.

Currently, «Krasnodar» leads the RPL standings with 37 points, closely followed by «Zenit» with 36 points, and «Lokomotiv» rounding out the top three with 34 points.

«Dynamo» occupies fourth place with 30 points, followed by «Spartak» with 28, and CSKA with 27 points, taking fifth and sixth places respectively.

Semin notes that it's unclear whether «Krasnodar» can avoid past mistakes and secure its lead in the second half of the season. The long break provides an opportunity for thorough preparation, and much will depend on the coaches' work, particularly how they tune their teams for the final stretch.

Under Sergey Semak's guidance, «Zenit» traditionally shows its best results after the winter break, becoming an even more powerful team. Thus, a tense struggle for the title awaits us.
