Opinion of bookmakers

Only one conclusion can be drawn from the first six rounds of the current Russian championship. It will be pleasant, first of all, for the fans - many goals are scored at the start of the season, entertainment is present in literally every match, games are played in high-quality wrestling. One can, of course, assume that such an unusual start to the season and, consequently, the preparation for it, caused some problems for the coaches of the teams, who have long been preparing players in the winter. However, both a cohort of domestic specialists and the invited "Spartak" foreigner definitely coped with this task.

With a fairly high degree of probability, we can state that the groups of leaders and outsiders are determined by today's standings. Traditionally, Zenit, Spartak, CSKA, Rubin and even Lokomotiv claim the podium, Volga, Mordovia, Wings of the Soviets and Rostov play for relegation. Surprise (of different polarity) is caused only by two clubs - Terek and Dynamo.

But in general, the feeling of intrigue does not leave. Those who unconditionally believe in the next Zenit championship should take a closer look at the attacking game of St. Petersburg without Kerzhakov. Who knows what might happen next?

In terms of the presence of a sports component in the championship games, the bookmakers have no complaints about the teams. The wariness caused by the growth of bets on the guests of the meeting "Krylya Sovetov" - "Kuban" and the hosts of the match "Rostov" - "Krylya Sovetov" was swept away by the final results. It remains to be hoped that further grounds for suspicion will be as small as possible.

The sign (*) indicates the degree of strangeness of the upcoming match. The more stars (the maximum number is four), the more suspicious the game is.
