After the resumption of the season, Rostov has problems with the game, but managed to score 6 points in 3 games. First, they lost without a chance on their pitch with Lokomotiv 1:3, then thanks to a goal from a penalty kick in the 94th minute they won with Pari NN 2:1, and in the last round Rostovici played with Khimki and won the workers’ victory with the score 1:0. In the match against Khimki, everything was decided by a penalty kick, which Rostov converted in the first half, after which he also got a numerical advantage, but the team played poorly in the second half and could even miss the victory. Anyway, before this round, Rostov is in 2nd place, ahead of Spartak, which is now 1 point ahead and 7 points behind the leader Zenit.
Moscow’s “Torpedo” is the main outsider of the championship, with only 10 points in 20 matches of the RPL and is 7 points behind the play-off zone. True, in the last round Torpedo was able to score 3 points, although they were not scored on the field, but after the match against Pari NN, when Nizhny Novgorod suffered a loss. During the break in the matches of the national teams, the head coach of the Torpedo team changed, Andrey Talalaev left his post, and the Spanish specialist Josep Clotet became the head of the team. Let’s see what Torpedo can do, but it will be almost impossible to save him from relegation.
“Torpedo” after the change of coach can show their best side, the players will want to test themselves in front of the new mentor, and I fully admit that Torpedo players may not lose. In addition, Rostov has problems with the game, it is difficult for him to score goals. In a match against one of the leaders against the last team of the championship, it is difficult to make a choice in favor of the outsider, but I will take a chance and bet that Torpedo, if they lose, will be at most 1 goal.
