Decimated by injuries to almost a dozen key players, the bulls, who before the restart RPL most of the experts unanimously predicted “silver”, look at the moment is extremely featureless. And rivals they got well rested Grozny team headed by not so long ago dismissed from the Kuban, the club’s Igor Shalimov. I.e. the current mood of his team and say, it seems, is not necessary.
“Red-blue” you want to beat at their arena is not too motivated “Tambov” and hope that the Governor will lose in Krasnodar and will give them the Champions League.
