Football

The Russian Championship. Krasnodar — Zenit

The two best teams of recent seasons will play a face-to-face match in the upcoming ninth round of the Russian Premier League. Krasnodar won the Russian championship last spring, and finished second a year earlier. Zenit St. Petersburg took silver in the last RPL draw, and won gold in the previous six seasons. The opponents are in different positions now. Krasnodar is confidently leading in the current national championship draw, while Zenit, due to constant misfires (only three wins in eight matches), is stuck in sixth place and is six points behind the first line. To close the gap with Krasnodar, the club from the Northern Capital needs to defeat the leader away next Sunday.

The KHL Regular Season. Ak Bars — Salavat Yulaev, Metallurg — CSKA

On Friday, we will have the so—called green derby of two principal rivals - Ak Bars Kazan and Salavat Yulaev Ufa. A special flavor to this confrontation is given by the fact that both teams unexpectedly failed to start the season and are in the last two places in the Eastern Conference. On Sunday, we will see the confrontation between Metallurg Magnitogorsk and CSKA Moscow, who have won three of the last four Gagarin Cups between them, and then the same Ak Bars will host another principal rival on its ice — Avangard Omsk.
