Former “Spartak” footballer Yuri Kovtun shared his thoughts on the central match of the fifth round of the Russian Premier League. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
In this match, the “red-blacks” team will face “Zenit.” Currently, both teams are positioned in unusual places for themselves.
The Saint Petersburg club is in eighth place in the standings, while “Spartak” is in eleventh. According to Kovtun, there is no room for loss for “Spartak.”
The internal state of the team and the tournament table are the reasons for this. If the team wins, it should gain strength from this result and strive forward.
Otherwise, mistakes will be analyzed and changes will be made. The match between “Spartak” and “Zenit” will take place on August 16 at the capital team's home stadium.
The match start time is set for 17:30 Moscow time. This game is an important test for the teams, and the result will affect future development.
