The former president of Moscow's Lokomotiv club, Nikolay Naumov, identifies St. Petersburg's Zenit team as the main favorite for the championship in the Russian Premier League. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
In his opinion, the Zenit team has been in first place for the past six years. Naumov stated in an interview with the Match TV channel that this result has encouraged the players to be even more motivated, and they will carefully analyze their mistakes.
The expert's second main candidate is the Russian champion, the Krasnodar team. According to the results of the last season, there was only a one-point difference between Zenit and Krasnodar.
Since 2019, under the leadership of Sergey Semak, Zenit has been the Russian champion six times in a row. Thus, the team continues to achieve high results and will ensure strong competition in the upcoming season.
