Former “Spartak” defender Yevgeniy Lovchev shared his thoughts on the match between “Rubin” and “Zenit” in the second round of the Russian Premier League. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
The match will take place on July 28, Sunday, in Kazan. According to the expert, the main role in the game will be played by the attack of the St. Petersburg team.
In his opinion, the “Zenit” forwards are at a much higher level than the “Rubin” players. Lovchev stated that although the “Rubin” team, led by Rashid Rahimov, has started the season well, the final result of the game will depend on the mood and performance level of the “Zenit” team, led by Sergey Semak.
He said: “The victory in the match between “Zenit” and “Rubin” depends more on “Zenit”. Of course, “Rubin” showed a good performance against “Ahmat”, but “Zenit” is stronger and their forwards are significantly superior to the opponent.” Both teams have started the new season successfully.
“Rubin” defeated “Ahmat” 2:0 away, while “Zenit” won against “Rostov” 2:1 at home. This match is generating great interest among football fans.
