Victory of the Lokomotiv
Victory of the Lokomotiv
Things are not going well for Paris NN: they lost 3 games after the championship resumed. First, there was a defeat against Zenit (0:3), then against Rostov (1:2), and in the last round in the home match against Torpedo there were good chances to score 3 points, but in the end the final whistle recorded a draw – 1:1. True, after the match, the Nizhny Novgorod club suffered a technical defeat with a score of 0: 3, because Yaroslav Mikhailov played for them, who was disqualified for the upcoming match. Prior to this round, Pari NN is 13th, going in the common zone, and moving up will be very difficult as the team is still struggling with results.
Lokomotiv failed in the first part of the championship, but after the resumption of RPL it looks completely different. The team won all 3 matches in the RPL: Rostov (3:1), Akhmat (1:0) and Krasnodar (3:2) lost, and in the match with the Krasnodar club the turn burned 0:2 after the 1st half. Now Lokomotiv has gained momentum and improved its position: after the last round, it is in 11th place, and the loss to the common zone is 3 points.
Although the teams are close together in the table, they are now at different levels in terms of play. Judging by the last 3 rounds, Pari NN is one of the league’s outsiders, and Loko should at least qualify for the top eight teams of the RPL. I don’t think the visitors will have any problems and they will easily get 3 points.
