Command Analysis

CSKA Moscow

Current form
By the start of the season, CSKA was approaching as a contender for a place in the top three – the army team could hardly set themselves more ambitious goals, even for bronze, the competition in the Premier League is off the scale. In the first half of the season, Marko Nikolic's team made several mistakes and quickly found themselves outside the top three, but they did not let the leaders go far from them either.
After the winter break, CSKA transformed significantly and produced a powerful winning streak, thanks to which it broke into the top three. The army team will no longer be able to compete for the title, but at the same time there are still minimal chances for silver – Zenit is ahead by five points. In the last round, CSKA beat Krasnodar 1-0 on their own field, escalating the intrigue in the championship to the limit.
In the CSKA Cup, he got out of the group without any problems, after which he did not experience the slightest problems with Rubin in the quarterfinals. In the semifinals, the Army team met with Dynamo Moscow and, in a difficult struggle, snatched a ticket to the finals, beating Dynamo with a score of 2:1 in the sum of two matches.

Zenit St. Petersburg

Current form
Zenit, for objective reasons, was considered the main favorite before the start of the season, having a huge advantage in recruiting players over many competitors. At the start of the championship, Sergey Semak's team demonstrated that this status was not accidental and won victory after victory, scoring goals against opponents in packs and managed to quickly become leaders.
However, even before the winter break, Zenit sharply slowed down and played several unsuccessful matches, which Krasnodar skillfully took advantage of. As a result, the St. Petersburg team is trying to catch up with the bulls throughout almost the entire tournament distance and now, more than ever, they are close to taking the championship title. The blue-white-blues are only one point behind Krasnodar in the table and there are two more rounds ahead.
Zenit got out of the group without any problems in the Cup and easily dealt with Akhmat in the quarterfinals. Rostov, whom the St. Petersburg team beat dry twice, did not cause any problems for the blue-white-blues in the semifinals. In the first match against CSKA, Zenit did not show its best performance, but won 2-0 and now it remains to keep this advantage in Moscow.
