Hidden Leaders of the Championship: Who Will Take the MIRE RPL Title?

The competition in MIRE RPL is intensifying, and every team strives to become the first winner. We explore the chances of «Zenit» and other contenders for victory.

Former «Ural» player Georgy Zhukov spoke about the current state of the MIRE RPL, stating that there is no clear tournament favorite at the moment.

By the 11th round, «Zenit» sits in third place in the standings with 26 points. «Krasnodar» leads with 27 points, surpassing «Lokomotiv» due to additional criteria.

— «Zenit» is undoubtedly a top-tier team in Russia, but competition cannot be canceled. Any slip-up could lead to losing leadership. Slumps and changes are an integral part of the game. «Krasnodar» currently shows excellent form, but «Zenit» clearly has an advantage in skill over others, Zhukov noted.

There is no club in the Russian championship that confidently leads, making each match tense and unpredictable, which adds interest to the audience. But in Zhukov's opinion, «Zenit» has every chance to become the champion again.

For the past six seasons, «Zenit» has consistently held the title of Russian champion.
