Baltika look somewhat more confident than Sochi, and we have already said that it even seems somehow easier for Baltika to play away. And Sochi at home is nothing special. Definitely not a particularly strong factor in Sochi's favor. They were heavily beaten by Krasnodar; of course, we are not expec... Show more
CSKA Moscow are pleasantly surprising. The combination of relatively unknown foreign players and young academy players of their own, plus a coach who turns out to genuinely play attacking football, is producing results. Akron Togliatti have collapsed, and, as it seems to us, this is their real level... Show more
Is Rakov’s magic over? Or will there be something else? Maybe, but not against Krasnodar. Krasnodar have started to pick up momentum; they are angry, aggressive, and hungry. I think Krylya Sovetov will have a difficult time in this match, but they know how to endure, which is why we want to go with ... Show more
Somewhat of a very strong bias toward Dynamo Moscow; sorry, but offering 1.4 on Dynamo Moscow to win? Are you serious? Have they somehow convinced us all so strongly of their strength and organized play? I don't know, I don't know. Yes, we understand that Valera's situation is difficult and somethin... Show more
Lokomotiv are in good form; they struggled a little in Kaliningrad, but Baltika were there after all, and they have been surprising everyone for 5 rounds now. FK Rostov are one of the biggest disappointments of the season so far: no football at all, a complete failure in attack. That is why we do no... Show more
In this match, we feel that Zenit are due to win and do so convincingly. The season has been unconvincing so far, but the difference in class is simply too great. The opponent is suitable, Dynamo Makhachkala are in decline and are playing away against the most formidable team (on paper, at least).

A very difficult match to analyze; it is unclear how Spartak Moscow will perform after the impressive game against Zenit. We did not want to get involved in the result at all, but there is nothing here that we want to take as the main prediction, and what we are thinking about here is fouls. The gam... Show more
The 6th round of the RPL is already starting, and it feels as though we have only just begun.
An interesting match awaits us. A couple of rounds ago, it would have been easier to analyze, but now Orenburg have come alive, while Akhmat Grozny have found stability under Cherchesov and seem to have dev... Show more
Cherchesov has joined Akhmat Grozny, and we think the first thing he will do is build up the defense. Akhmat Grozny were already doing well in attack, creating chances and taking a lot of shots. Krylya Sovetov are the phenomenon of this season alongside Baltika, and here too we think that the fairy ... Show more
Two teams that were the loudest on the transfer market are playing—teams with huge ambitions, but in reality still lower than they would have liked, especially in terms of their performances, particularly Spartak Moscow. As one of our teammates said: “I believe in anything except a Spartak Moscow wi... Show more
The 5th round begins with an interesting match. Surprisingly, two of the leaders of our championship at the moment are facing each other. Who is more surprising here? Probably Baltika, punching above their weight, but that is in line with our expectations. Lokomotiv Moscow are also pleasantly surpri... Show more
Let's sum up the results of Matchday 4 of the RPL. Starting this year, we have been covering this league and analyzing every matchday game without exception. Together with the team, we give 2 to 4 thoughts on one match. You can find everything by visiting the profile and reading it all. For each tho... Show more
And just to start things off, a match that will open the season in the best football league, a match for the Super Cup. Liverpool have strengthened incredibly well; I haven't seen anything like it in a long time, and the Premier League has also made a very strong showing in the transfer window—there... Show more
Guys, unfortunately, there is no time today to go through each match of the 4th round of the RPL in detail; it will be brief and strictly to the point.
Two teams that are still without points are playing, so there should be a fight. FK Rostov are at home, so they need to score, while Pari NN are not... Show more
Guys, unfortunately, there is no time today to go through each match of the final matches of Matchday 4 of the RPL, so it will be brief and strictly to the point.
This is Sochi, and that means goals—at least that is how it has been this season so far; we take BTTS as the basis.... Show more

The final Saturday match. We will most likely give predictions for Sunday's matches tomorrow morning. We won't have time today; we need to leave to watch the matches. There are many of them today.

A blockbuster match, the headline fixture of the round, with huge expectations for this game. We found a lot of interesting things for this match, more than we have ever offered before. We will take a risk and lay everything we have on the table for you. The main thing is for the teams to be as fire... Show more
Are we the only ones who don't see some super-impressive CSKA Moscow game that everyone is talking about? Especially the attacking football of their new head coach? We watched a couple of expert shows, and every single one of them says: attack, attack, the match will be high-scoring. I don't know, b... Show more
A very difficult match to analyze: the teams are too good at the start of the season and are clearly playing above our expectations. But, as the maestro used to say, these are our problems, and we have to live with them. It is difficult to bet on the result; it seems to smell like 1:1, and everyone ... Show more
The fourth round starts on Friday with the match Dynamo Makhachkala — Akron Togliatti.
Dynamo have surprisingly won 2 consecutive home games by a score of 1:0, but clearly did not deserve to win based on their performance; the opponents should have equalized. A third consecutive 1:0 win? I don't thi... Show more
Let’s summarize the results of Matchday 3 of the RPL. As always, as honestly and openly as possible. Since this year, we have been working with this league and analyzing every match of the matchday without exception. My team and I provide 2 to 4 thoughts for each match. You can see everything by vis... Show more
There is no need to make anything up here: Rubin Kazan are a strong team playing at home, fired up after the rescheduled match against Zenit, and the fans will come and support the team again. Sochi are still very poor, especially in defence, unlike the well-organized Rubin Kazan. What could prevent... Show more
We will not talk much about Dynamo Makhachkala; we have already written that we consider them almost the main contenders for promotion. Akhmat Grozny is more interesting, even more so than last year; the squad is certainly not bad, and they also showed decent performances in their first games, so to... Show more
The match of the round in terms of billing outshines Krasnodar – Dynamo, but how interesting will it be? The latest matches between these teams were a “dry spell,” very cautious football from both sides. Yes, CSKA Moscow have a new coach, and they say the focus is on attack, but it will be difficult... Show more
Match: Baltika – Orenburg. What is he primarily trying to say here? Baltika were praised; they look very solid and organized, and are clearly stronger than Orenburg at the moment. Orenburg will be playing away. Orenburg is still probably more of a home team, with an artificial pitch. Naturally, I do... Show more
Spartak Moscow are a wonder of our championship; they are difficult to predict, but interesting to watch. Akron Togliatti are consistently decent as always, and they get the better of their direct competitors. Last year, Akron Togliatti looked good against Spartak Moscow. They will be without Zabolo... Show more
For me, these two teams are still playing below their capabilities. Krasnodar are clearly a top team in terms of squad strength and a title contender, while Dynamo Moscow are clearly weaker on paper. Besides, they apparently still have not figured out what Karpin wants from them; they play with huge... Show more
Below is some information about the Rostov–Krylia Sovetov match; the internet glitched and the description did not load. I’ll briefly share it here, and then we’ll talk about the Pari NN–Lokomotiv match. So, Rostov are at home, Rostov have no points whatsoever, and their performance and statistics l... Show more
