Former St. Petersburg "Zenit" player Aleksey Gasilin shared his thoughts on the results of the recent match for the Russian Super Cup. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
According to him, on paper, the "Krasnodar" team is favored, but there is no clear information about the current preparation level of both teams. Gasilin believes that the coaches may focus more on the start of the championship, and there is a likelihood that a defensive style will be more evident in the game.
Throughout the history of the Russian Super Cup competition, this tournament has been held for the 23rd time. The "Zenit" team has been champion 9 times, having lost 3 times among those victories.
CSKA has participated in the competition 7 times and has lost 5 times. "Krasnodar" has only played for the Super Cup once and missed the opportunity against "Zenit" last year.
Currently, "Krasnodar" is the national champion, while CSKA is the Cup holder. The match between the teams will take place on July 12.
