Russia Football Season 2016-17

[bugylibicska]

Cska got the luck of the game.

Ufa missed a penalty when the game was still goalless?

[bugylibicska]

Zenit St. Petersburg 2 - 0 Ural (Ural finished the game with 8 men, but Zenit could score their 1st only 4 minutes before the end)
FC Rostov 3 - 0 Spartak Moscow (great win Rostov, I still believe you can make it back to Europe)
Lokomotiv Moscow 3 - 3 Amkar (Amkar came back from 3:1 down)

[bugylibicska]

Terek Grozny 0 - 1 Anzhi Makhachkala (looks like Anzhi almost safe with this win)

[bugylibicska]

Tom Tomsk 1 - 2 FC Orenburg (a must win delivered to give some hope)
Krylya Sovetov Samara 0 - 0 Rubin Kazan (could be a good point for both)
FC Krasnodar 2 - 0 Arsenal Tula (another must win to keep the distance)

After 24 rounds:

1. Spartak 54
2. CSKA 47
3. Zenit 46
4. Krasnodar 41
5. Rostov 36
6. Lokomotiv 35
7. Amkar 34
8-9. Terek Grozny, Ufa 33
10 - 11. Ural, Rubin Kazan 29
12. Anzhi 27
13. Orenburg 22
14. Krylya Sovetov Samara 21
15. Arsenal Tula 18
16. Tom Tomsk 13

Rostov would not go to europe,krasnodar will grab the fourth place.Rostov and Loko 5/6.
Terek just disappear in this second half of the season as usual.Ufa and Amkar don't have individual quality to get into the top 5.
Rubin have the worst coach in the league,a miserable season for them,the club who invested more this season.

As for Rostov i just hope they can get the same team and coach for next year,without eurocups they can make the top 3.
But i think Berdyev will leave for Zenit and 4/5 players will also leave:Navas,Noboa,Azmoun,Bukharov,Kudryashov.

I wouldn`t be so confident if I`m a Krasnodar supporter. Yes, 5 points are a big advantage, but Rostov just cleared their biggest hurdle by destroying Spartak who looks to be almost certain champions. The 3 home games (Ufa, Amkar, Rubin) and 3 away ones (Tula, Anzhi, Orenburg) look all winnables. On the other hand Krasnodar play at home only one more time (Anzhi) while 5 times away (Amkar, Orenburg, Ural, Zenit, Tomsk). If they lose at Zenit and drop points in Perm or Yekaterinburg for example, Rostov could catch them. I`d prefer Rostov in the EL now, who knows what happens in the next year.

[bugylibicska]

FC Rostov 1 - 0 FC Ufa (one game out of the way, five more to go, Rostov shipped only 12 goals in 25 games - defence)
Spartak Moscow 1 - 0 Ural (10 points gap and only 5 rounds left)

[bugylibicska]

FC Orenburg 0 - 1 Zenit St. Petersburg (Zenit avoided a tripping up)
Arsenal Tula 2 - 0 Krylya Sovetov Samara (precious 3 points in the fight against relegation)
CSKA Moscow 4 - 0 Lokomotiv Moscow (CSKA won`t let CL out of their sight, while Lokomotiv`s only chance now is the cup)
Rubin Kazan 0 - 1 Terek Grozny (very disappointing, poor season from Rubin)

Rostov was very lucky against Ufa.

Tula,Anzhi and Orenburg are fighting all to avoid directly relegation or at least to avoid the relegation play off's....and you can add Rubin to that list.

Amkar-Krasnodar 0-0 ht,amkar started better,krasnodar ended better.

So if Cska beats Spartak next sunday the title is not decided,spartak will than need to win two games from(amkar away,terek home and arsenal away).
Of course it is great that Spartak have Tom Tomsk home game,that is a 99'9 per cent win.

First home loss to Amkar. I`ve expected them to keep a point at home and help out Rostov, but congrats to Krasnodar. If Rostov cannot make it to Europe I want Krasnodar, of course.

[bugylibicska]

Amkar 0 - 2 FC Krasnodar (maybe here the fate of 4th place was decided)
Anzhi Makhachkala 3 - 3 Tom Tomsk (Anzhi crawling toward safety)
