THE PREDICTION
The Russian Premier League concluded last season in bizarre and fairly surreal circumstances. As Russia waged war on Ukraine, following the February invasion, football in Ukraine stopped but Russia continued. Russian clubs have been banned from UEFA competitions for an indefinite amount of time and that has, as unimportant as it seems in the circumstances, killed the competitiveness and meaningfulness with little to play for between top spot and the relegation zone. So, that will have another bearing on the standard and style of these matches - and that must be noted. Vladimir Fedotov replaced Aleksei Berezutski as CSKA Moscow ahead of this campaign and he has had an immediate impact on The Horses. CSKA have won two and drawn one of their opening three matches. They now face a Fakel side that, following promotion last season, remain winless so far with two draws and a defeat in their opening three matches. A comfortable CSKA win is expected for this one.
