Russian Premier League 2022/23 Season

[ingiltere]

Russian league is very competitive and have great teams, mostly from Moscow.
Although Spartak Moscow has the most championship these are from early years of the league. Zenit won last four seasons and they have eight championships total.
If you count Soviet days Spartak Moscow still got the crown with twenty two championships, CSKA Moscow has thirteen and Dynamo Moscow has eleven titles.
St. Petersburg team Zenit lately put an embargo on the league. They also won UEFA Cup and Super Cup in 2008.

I hope this year we will watch a good season where we don't feel the effects of the war and the players play freely in their teams. I wish that the unfair situation applied in European cups will be corrected as soon as possible.

This is the first time I am finding out about Russian Premier League, did some research and found out that the most dominating team is Zenit as the OP also mentioned in the post.
They have already played the first match against Khimki and it was a draw, so let's see who wins this but my vote goes towards the strongest team in the league, i.e. Zenit.

The funny thing is that they got a draw against a team who was at bottom last year when they won the league so that may be the factor to consider or maybe just the first game.
Might need some more matches to get control and lead the league, happens in other leagues too.

It's a joke? The Russian championship is completely destroyed by the sanctions (foreign players have the right to unilaterally terminate the contract and leave) and will not be of any interest next season, since its level will be very low. As for the return of Russian clubs to the Euro Cups, this can be forgotten in the coming years - even if the war ends tomorrow. This is a long process, plus the championship has fallen very much in its level and it will take years to return at least to the previous level.

When I saw this thread, I went to check for Russian Premier League on the Livescore site that I am using but I did not see anything like Russia again, not to talk of Russian Premier League. In one way or the other, Russian Premier League will be affected by the sanctions placed on them by FiFA and UEFA. Lack of information will likely make this thread not to be an active one.

Today already 3 matches finished
Khimki 1 - 1 Zenit
CSKA Moscow 2 - 0 Ural
Orenburg 2 - 4 Krilia Sovetov
and there's another one match soon in the next few minutes
Akhmat Grozny - Spartak Moscow

Zenit already dominated this match at the half time and scored one goal but unfortunately Mirzov he can hit a goal in 84 minute, looking at the statistics Zenit should have got 3 points but this match look a difficult too because start of the season was something interesting and more surprises.

Off course there is! Don't Fvck with LiveScore alone, guess you didn't using other football Applications. I did take a look out and some games are on. Sanctions has them roles to play they also must have created a level of awareness for the Russian Premier League.

Zenith Saint Petersburg use to be my best team, as I won couple of my major best. I can recall sometime 2018 during May, I had one of my biggest wins from gambling and Zenith Saint Petersburg contributed to it. They won with the total number if goals I placed my on.

So in conclusion, go take a good look with other Apps they are present.

Well this dosent mean that the Russian league wont be intresting at all. All clubs in Russia have gotten some good transfers and players arent leaving their clubs. The only thing is that you cannot fight for europian place but you can fight for the title and not to get relegated. Also you can follow on flashscore

[Gianluca95]

I would also like to understand how this season will go, considering that Russia will play its championship by itself because of war effects, so, they will be excluded from any kind of european competition. I haven't followed

Transfer market of Russian Championship this summer, but I think that a championship without european competition is less attractive than one that has it.

I am happy to see that there's a topic about another European dominating league (Russian League), from this topic we'll get various insights and pov regarding condition of the league and also the matches there. I just vote for CSKA Moscow (I hope they win the league title this season). Even though Zenit have dominated this league for the last 4 seasons, but I'm not sure they will win it for the fifth time. They also didn't make a good result in their opening match against Khimki, the match ended in a draw which means Zenit only get 1 point. How about you guys? Which team do you think will win the Russian league this season?

The Russian league this time plays only locally as Russia is devastated from the ongoing sanctions which day by day are making Russia more isolated.It is only natural that teams from a country which wage an unjustified war of aggression are not permitted to take part in International Competitions like the Champions League and other related competitions.

I know Zenit St Petersburg being one of the best teams lately together with CSKA Moscow but before the big history if I am not mistaken is made by Spartak Moscow which I believe to be the most well known team from the Russian Premier League.

No matter how this season go it is of no real importance except to make the local fans happy but I know as a fan you can't be happy when your team is not allowed to take part in the above mentioned competitions.

[D-law]

Making my own prediction in advance already for next weekend fixtures.
CSKA Moscow will be up against Sochi next week both sides won respective game's this week.
CSKA MOSCOW kept clean sheets while Scohi won by two goals ahead conceding a single goal.
Next week my prediction for them would be to draw.

Even I am not in favor of this conflict which is creating problems for World specially European Union, but I am still feeling the decision from UEFA about sports is completely unfair and devastated because they can't do these things with sports here they have dual policy and this is surely big setback for Russian clubs which are doing good in UEFA for many decades. Here is no good place for talking more about politics but still feeling bad for these great clubs and their fans which are having serious problems due to this ban which is surely unfair for me and millions others.

I just check new season started, and first matches are going to be interested as defending champions Zenit is held by Khimki even they take early lead in this match and now CSKA Moscow already won his first match and Spartak Moscow is also held by Akhmat Grozny with the same score.

[Unknown01]

Because of the sanctions, wasn't the players (from FIFA) to unilaterally terminate their contracts without consequences?  Does anyone know how many players took advantage of this?  I only know Russian teams from the CL and Europa League, basically CSKA and Zenit. And I only know a few players, for example Dzyuba, although he is now also without a club.

What's a joke to you? Do you think UEFA ban will go on for years? Eventually they will remove it and justice will be served. For now Russian players can play, I don't know why some players stop playing. There is no problem with war at the moment. My friends living in Russia also continue their normal lives. There is no obstacle to play the league. There are only problems with foreign players but this can be tolerated for another year.

I'm from Russia, but I don't follow the local championship because by and large it is garbage (and even more so now). I know that many legionnaires fled from the clubs and at the end of the last championship the teams had real problems in order to find a full-fledged team for the game. As you can imagine, the level of the tournament has gone down a lot. Rich clubs like Zenit seem to have kept greedy players on their roster, but the overall standings in the league are terrible.

when you say justice will be done what do you mean? you expected UEFA to also say: "yes russia did well to be exterminated citizens of ukraine, force russia, kill all women, children and babies in ukraine" if ukraine were to invade russia and commit atrocities and uefa did not banish ukraine would you be happy? I think it's wrong and cruel to invade other people's country, nothing justifies this kind of behavior and we have to punish the governments that do this, they are not punishing the people of russia because there are certain people from russia with a good heart and that they are suffering from these sanctions and are against this current Russian regime. but uefa made a good decision, Is a decision against the russian government, uefa is not against the people of russia, at least that's my opinion.

And let's be honest, is it possible to have a good championship without foreign players? I doubt that this russian league will prosper like this and it will also take years for uefa to reconsider its decision

What does this have to do with the Russian league and its players? Did the players start the war? Are the players fighting in war? Just as the sanctions against Russia in all areas of life are unfair, the punishments given in sports are also completely unjust. Those who oppose it justify injustice. Not only in football, but in all sports, Russian athletes are treated unfairly, you have to be blind to not see this. UEFA's decisions are just a big joke. In fact, Russian teams should seek their rights against the law, otherwise this mafia order will continue.

I hope foreign players will play again as soon as possible. Some players didn't leave the league last season, players like Yusuf Yazıcı continued to play. Players who wanted to run away just got their contracts terminated but I don't blame them. Not everyone wants to play in such difficult conditions.

[Ratash]

An important win for cska moskow its allways good to start the season with a win and what make it better is that their usual title contenders all failed to win which will give them a moral boost, on the other hand zenit team only managed a draw which was disapointing but a fair score in my opinion.

[Yogee]

This is the first open discussion about RPL in this forum that I've seen. I have to admit that I only watched their teams in the Champions League when they were drawn against PL and La Liga teams. It should be an interesting season for them as it will showcase their local talents more.

.... but I think that a championship without european competition is less attractive than one that has it.

Do they have a huge following from the rest of Europe to begin with? The number of interest is probably not that significant compared to the other leagues so there's no real difference now and then.

Here I agree with you this all is completely unfair if you are feeling bad then just put this all on political level banning all sports and players is never been fair and this all is just joke which is going to be pranked for this UEFA and other European sports authorities because they are supporting Israel's all crimes as justice and hitting back here on Russia for Ukraine war is dual policy from them.

I am not happy to talk all about this here because this all is just related to sport, and we need to talk about this, but peoples are reacting unfairly which is never been good and ideal situation. They need to be fair and balanced for all policies and commitments but here they are doing all things which are completely nonsense I personally against war and things like this, but you also have to accept realities and just give punishment things which are involved in politics.
