"Sochi"
The opening of last season, the Sochi football club predictably became a victim of the RPL grandees, the head coach Fedotov left the team, moving to CSKA, which will add intrigue to the confrontation, Casserra and Rodrigao moved to Zenit, Noboa is in limbo. The new coach Vadim Garanin instills strictly vertical football in his wards, he is going to use more young people, the club looks good at pre-season training camps. As part of the Pari Cup, the Southerners held 2 meetings and drew 1-1 twice against Zenit and Pari NN.
CSKA Moscow
The "Army men" were able to lure one of the most promising coaches of the championship in the person of Fedotov to Moscow, but at the same time they suffered from the departure of legionnaires, a group of players suspended their contracts. Fedotov has no choice but to publicly speak out with a demand to strengthen the squad, while only Chalov has returned from a lease in Switzerland. The lack of teamwork and the loss of leaders led to disastrous results at the pre-season training camps, the team is frankly swimming and shows nothing ahead, consistently lost to Veles 0:2, Zenit 0:3 and Pari NN 0:2.

Forecast
Fedotov is obviously laying the foundation for the physical readiness of CSKA players, the team looks raw, but Sochi is not in the best condition right now. The former coach of the Southerners knows all the strengths of his former wards, so in this confrontation we should expect the first victory of the "red-blue" under the leadership of Fedotov.
