Former Kazan "Rubin" player Aleksey Popov shared his thoughts on the new season of the Russian championship. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
He considers St. Petersburg's "Zenit" club to be one of the main favorites of the tournament. According to Popov, there will be no unexpected situations in the fight for medals.
The "Zenit" team has made a large number of strong transfers, and he believes that they will not give anyone a chance this season. Last season, the Russian champion was the "Krasnodar" team for the first time in history.
"Zenit" took second place, and the top three was completed by the Moscow Central Sports Club, namely CSKA. The new season will start on July 18, and in the first match, Moscow's "Dinamo" will face Kaliningrad's "Baltika" team.
This season is expected to be followed with great interest by Russian Premier League fans.
