The central meeting of the tour will be held in Moscow, where Torpedo will try to regain the first place in the standings.
"Torpedo"
The Moscow club has a gap of three points from the third position in the standings. The reason for the reduction of the gap, which was even six points, was three consecutive draws in the last three rounds. "Baltika", "Torch" and " Tom " received incrementally, from one to three goals. However, the "avtozavodtsy" missed exactly the same amount. On the last game day, Tomichi should have interrupted the unbeaten series of Torpedo, but Kalmykov returned from Moscow, who scored a double and brought another point to the team's piggy bank.
"Orenburg"
The defeat in their native walls from "Rotor" "woke up" Orenburg residents. In the last two rounds, Orenburg scored six goals, scoring maximum points. Together with the failures of "Torpedo", the wards of Marcel Lichka, due to their victories, came to the first place in the standings due to more victories. In the upcoming meeting, the fate of the first round will be decided, which may remain, both for some and for others.
