Igor Ledyakhov believes that "Zenit" is the main favorite in the fight for the championship title in the RPL.

Former "Spartak" star and coach Igor Ledyakhov shared his thoughts with journalists about why he considers St. Petersburg's "Zenit" the primary candidate for winning the Russian championship this season.

Ledyakhov stated that if he had an extra $100, he would bet on "Zenit's" triumph this year. In his view, under Sergey Semak's leadership, the team practically has two full-fledged squads at its disposal.

He noted that in the event of injuries at "Krasnodar," such as to Spertsyan and Cordoba, there is no equivalent replacement, unlike "Zenit," which continues to achieve success even without key players like Glushenkov, Wendel, and Latyshonok. Ledyakhov explained the home defeat to "Krylia Sovetov" as simply an unfortunate mishap.

Currently, "Zenit" leads the Russian championship standings, followed by "Krasnodar" and Moscow's "Spartak".
