Sports weekend with Izvestia

Football

The Russian Championship. Zenit — CSKA, Dynamo — Spartak

In the upcoming seventh round of the RPL, two status matches with the "top" category will take place. The reigning champion of Russia, Zenit St. Petersburg, will host CSKA Moscow. Both teams scored the same number of points and are fighting for medals, but they have a lot of problems in the game plan. And in the face-to-face meeting, they will determine who will try to catch up with Krasnodar, which has broken away from them by six points. Spartak, coming in second, also increased the gap from the leader to five points due to misfires. To keep their chances of reaching the Bulls, the red and white need to win the Moscow derby against Dynamo next weekend.

September 5, 16:30, Gazprom Arena Stadium (Saint Petersburg).

September 6, 18:30, VTB Arena Stadium (Moscow).

The French Championship. PSG — Monaco

In the third round of Ligue 1, we will face two teams with Russians in the squad. At the same time, the traditional hegemon of the French championship, PSG, does not look like a clear favorite. Matvey Safonov's team has not won a single match in the new national championship, having drawn twice in the first two rounds. But Alexander Golovin's Monaco won both times and remains the last team to not lose a single point in the championship.
