Command Analysis
PFC Sochi
In the last round, Igor Osinkin's team fought with Velez and were able to win a strong-willed victory, which allowed them to displace their opponent from second place. The Muscovites opened the scoring in the first half, but the Southerners were able to turn the tide of the meeting and snatched victory in stoppage time – 2:1 in total. Sochi continues to chase after the leader Nizhny Novgorod, but the gap has already reached six points. It should be noted that the team is playing effectively and scored 20 goals.
SKA-Khabarovsk
SKA Khabarovsk is still in crisis, located in the basement of the standings and occupies the penultimate place with four points in the asset. The gap from the saving line has reached four points, and with such results it will be difficult to fight for a place in the First League. In the last round, the army team drew a combat draw with Tula Arsenal (2:2), equalizing the score in stoppage time. Earlier, Sergei Zhukov's team suffered their eighth defeat of the season, losing to Leningrad (2:3).
Igor Osinkin's wards gained momentum and were able to climb into the top 2, but the opponent is in a big crisis and is the last. It is not recommended to lose points in a match with an outsider, and the composition of the Leopards is much more powerful and experienced. Another victory will allow Nizhny Novgorod to get closer to the leader and will not allow rivals to get closer. We believe that the home team will win a landslide victory and leave SKA Khabarovsk with nothing, which has lost by two goals in two of the last four meetings.
