According to him, the game will be very tough and there will be many fouls, as referee Chistyakov will not manage the match easily. Tufrin believes that a draw result will be acceptable for both teams.
Today, August 16, the "Spartak" and "Zenit" teams will face each other at the "Lukoil Arena" stadium in Moscow. The match will start at 17:30 local time.
Currently, the "red-whites" team is in 11th place in the competition table, while Sergey Semak's "Zenit" team is in eighth position. This match is considered one of the important fixtures of the Premier League and is eagerly awaited by fans.
According to Tufrin, during the game, the teams will try to demonstrate their capabilities and the outcome cannot be predicted in advance. Therefore, the referee's decisions may influence the final result of the match.
This encounter will be an interesting and significant event for football enthusiasts.
