There are only seven days left in the Russian Premier League. A list of teams fighting for the title and medals has been formed, and those at risk of relegation to the First League have also been determined.

Conclusions:
Zenit is the top. The St. Petersburg team occupies first place, spending the first half better than other RPL clubs. CSKA often loses points in the second half, but if the matches ended after 45 minutes, Lokomotiv would fight for second place. Bronze, but if the matches were limited to the first half, then the team would be close to the seam zone. Orenburg has big problems in the first 45 minutes. David Deogracia’s team went to half-time only once, leading on the scoreboard. There are no fundamental changes compared to the real table.

Conclusions:
Dynamo is the leader of the RPL! If matches last 60 minutes, Lokomotiv is in trouble again. The red and green team fight for medals thanks to frequent comebacks.

Conclusions:
Zenit leads in both the first and second half! Orenburg comes out strong after the break! A stark contrast to the first table is that Spartak is one point away from the playoff zone. Sochi is in ninth place, although it occupies the last place, 16th in the general table of the RPL. The southerners transform in the second half. Dynamo closes the top eight. The blue and whites would not think about medals.
