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. Daniel Farke resigned from his role as Krasnodar boss in February, before the restart after the winter break, citing the war. Krasnodar finished the season well but have lost key players such as Tonny Vilhena. Fakel were promoted from the second division last season and this is their first season since 2001 and just their fifth of all time. Krasnodar should win this one, especially with home advantage on the opening day of the season.
