In one of the matches of the 12th round of the Russian Championship, Fakel and Zenit will meet. We analyze the form of the teams and give a forecast.
"Torch"
Only one victory in the previous three rounds was won by Fakel, having coped at home with Lokomotiv (2-0), but there is also good news - he has never lost during this time. In the round before last, the Voronezh club shared points with Sochi (1-1), and in the past, it broke up with Torpedo Moscow (2-2). A 3-match series without defeats allowed Fakel to score a total of nine points and leave the transition zones, placing on the twelfth line.
Zenit
If Zenit suddenly had difficulties in the Fonbet Cup of Russia, and he lost in the previous two matches with a total score of 0-5 (Wings of the Soviets and Spartak), then everything is great in the championship. By the game of the 12th round, the current champion of the country comes in first place, having 29 points. The closest pursuer is CSKA, which has six points less. In the last round, Zenit won 3-1 against Rostov on its own field, having won the seventh victory in a row.
Statistics and figures:
- "Torch" three rounds without defeats;
- Zenit won in seven previous rounds;
- Zenit has not lost to Fakel yet - 4 wins and a draw.
Forecast
"Torch" has been gaining points for three rounds, but it is unlikely that it will be able to develop a pleasant series in the reporting game, since Zenit is in excellent shape, thanks to which it should confidently win.
