The first round of the second circle has prepared the battle of leaders in Moscow

The first matches of the second circle will take place in the Russian Football Championship on Saturday and Sunday. Due to the participation of the Moscow Spartak and the Yaroslavl Shinnik in the Intertota Cup, he will be incomplete again. The central match of the tour will be no doubt a meeting of the Moscow Lokomotiv and Samara “Wings of the Soviets”.

According to the results of the first circle, both teams are included in the group of leaders. Samaras take fourth place with 28 points, and Loko is located a line below 25 points. Thus, the victory on the Saturday duel will allow Muscovites to catch up with the “wings”, and they, in turn, have a chance to equal the points with the leader - the capital's “Torpedo”.

True, these chances are small, since the team of Sergei Petrenko will play on Sunday away with the Volgograd Rotor, which firmly settled on the last, 16th place of the standings. Thus, it is unlikely that Torpedo, which lost on Wednesday, Saturn on its field, will allow a second misfire in a row, especially in the game against an absolute outsider, RIA Novosti reports.

The Loko and Wings match will have an additional intrigue, because these teams are played by the best championship scorers at the moment. Samaraz Andrei Karyaki has already 14 goals, and his closest pursuer Dmitry Sychev from Lokomotiv is behind four goals. It is unlikely that he will be able to catch up with Karyak on Saturday, but Sychev is quite capable of replenishing his personal account. The defense of the Volzhans does not differ in supernight, which is indicated by 24 missed in the first circle of the ball. This indicator is worse only for Spartak and Rotor.

In the first circle, the Volzhans beat the railway workers on their field with a minimum score, and the only ball scored Karyak. In other matches of Saturday, the St. Petersburg Zenit, which occupies the second place, will come to visit the Krasnodar Kuban, which is still in the departure zone, and Rostov will take its neighbors in the standings - the metropolitan Dynamo. These commands occupy the 11th and 12th lines respectively.

On Sunday, the Rotor will accept Torpedo, the debutant of the Premier League “Amkar” will pay a visit to the current champion - Moscow CSKA, and FC “Moscow” will play houses against the Kazan Rubin. This match will be noteworthy that Moscow plans to support the FIFA action called "Football against Racism", and the football players of the metropolitan team will go to a warm -up in T -shirts with the inscription "Moscow against Racism."
