Smirnov named the main contenders for the RPL championship

In previous years, the famous football player Dmitriy Smirnov expressed his opinion on who the main contender for the gold medals in the current season of the Russian football championship is. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.

According to him, the Lokomotiv team can be highlighted. Additionally, the Krasnodar and Zenit clubs will also compete for the top spots.

The CSKA team cannot be overlooked either, as they are showing good performance with the new coach. However, Smirnov emphasized that it is difficult to draw final conclusions based on just three match results.

Last season, the Lokomotiv team finished sixth in the competition standings. Krasnodar claimed the championship, while Zenit and CSKA secured the second and third places, respectively.

In the current season, before the fourth round, the Lokomotiv team is leading the tournament table with nine points. This situation indicates that the team is well-prepared and ready to compete for the championship.

Experts believe that competition may intensify as the season progresses.
