Former St. Petersburg “Zenit” striker Aleksey Gasilin assessed the chances of the “Sochi” team in the upcoming season of the Russian Premier League. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
The team returned through the qualifying matches to the top league. In Gasilin's opinion, “Sochi” must repeat the path of the “Akron” team.
He expects that the “Sochi” team will not fall into the relegation zone and will not be directly relegated. He mentioned this during a broadcast on the “Match TV” channel.
It is worth noting that the “Sochi” team secured their place in the Premier League by defeating the “Pari NN” team in the qualifying matches. Despite the defeat in the competition, the Nizhny Novgorod team managed to remain in the Russian Premier League.
They took the place of the Moscow region “Khimki” team, as “Khimki” was not granted a license. Thus, the “Sochi” team aims to strengthen its position in the new season and strives to showcase itself in high-level competitions.
Experts believe that the team has sufficient opportunities to demonstrate stable performance and remain in the top league. This season, “Sochi”'s main goal is to avoid falling into the qualifying matches and to maintain its position in the Premier League.
This presents a new opportunity for the team, which is being closely monitored by fans and experts. The actions and results of “Sochi” in the new season will determine the team's standing in the coming years.
