Play-off matches fnl and rfpl. Rfpl - fnl

For the sixth year in a row, the season in Russia has been dragging on for another week, while the 13-14th RFPL teams are playing play-offs with the third-fourth teams of the FNL. In five previous cases, only three representatives of the first division managed to reach the Premier League through transitional games. One of the lucky ones was Ufa in the 2013/14 season, beating Tom on aggregate (6: 4). The head coach of that team, Igor Kolyvanov, is confident that this format of the tournament is still relevant.

For those teams that are in third or fourth places in the FNL, this is a very interesting experience and a good chance to advance to the Premier League. This format is needed, - stressed Kolyvanov in a conversation with the correspondent of "Sport Day by Day". - After all, the clubs are fighting for the whole season for the opportunity to get into the first two-four, here they are given an additional opportunity to compete for an entry into the Premier League. This form of the tournament is a normal approach to work, - said the 49-year-old specialist.

This year, in the transitional matches, you can see an interesting coaching confrontation: Arsenal mentor Sergei Kiryakov and Main coach"Yenisei" Andrey Tikhonov in 1996-1998 played together for the Russian national team. In the confrontation between SKA-Khabarovsk and Orenburg, the coaching duel the day before the match acquired a new hue. The board of trustees of the Far East club decided to appoint Alexei Poddubsky as the head coach of the team. The 44-year-old specialist acted as head coach after the resignation of Andrei Gordeev. Now he will have a chance as an approved coach to try to get the team into the Premier League. Kolyvanov believes that such an outcome of events is quite likely.

That Enisey, that SKA-Khabarovsk - the teams are quite even, well-equipped. They may well create competition for the same Arsenal or Orenburg. In terms of percentage, I'll give 60 to 40 in favor of the Premier League teams. Although earlier the stratification was more serious - 80 to 20, even 70 to 30, Kolyvanov emphasized.

We add that the return matches will take place on Sunday, May 28. According to the regulations, they will be held on the fields of the RFPL teams.

MOSCOW, May 25 - R-Sport, Sergey Smyshlyaev. The final composition of the participants in the 2017/18 season of the Russian Football Premier League will be determined based on the results of the play-offs to be held on Thursday and Sunday.

Unfortunately, Spartak fans added a headache to the Tula club, breaking the gates and damaging the heating system of the Arsenal stadium. According to the team's management, the damage amounted to about 1 million rubles, it was necessary to remove part of the lawn, but by the return meeting the field should be brought back to normal. Concerns were also caused by the possibility of participation in the “joints” of Vladimir Gabulov, who was summoned to the location of the Russian national team, but the RFU allowed the goalkeeper to take part in at least the first game.

At the same time, as noted by the defender of Moscow CSKA Vasily Berezutsky, “Arsenal” is perhaps the weakest team in the second half of the championship. “For me this is an amazing and very strange result (victory over Spartak with a score of 3: 0):“ Arsenal ”seemed to me in the spring almost the weakest team in the championship. still know about myself - I have no other explanation. "

Make history

“Yenisei” under the leadership of the legend of “Spartak” proved to be a strong team this season, remembered for their victory in the 1/16 finals of the Russian Cup over CSKA, and Krasnoyarsk residents are unlikely to miss the chance to enter the elite of the national championship for the first time in history.

“Orenburg” met with “SKA-Khabarovsk” ten times, and the team has fewer victories: three against four defeats. After Alexey Poddubsky replaced Andrey Gordeev at the helm of the team, the Khabarovsk team won a ticket to the “joints” and the opportunity to play in the top division of the Russian championship for the first time in history. “Orenburg” suffered a rather serious loss: in the match of the 30th round against “Rostov” striker Michal Dyurish received a red card and an automatic suspension for one match.

"If SKA manages to reach the Premier League, it will undoubtedly be a joyful event for all of us," the SKA-Khabarovsk website quotes the words of the Governor of the Khabarovsk Territory Vyacheslav Shport. We will obligatorily entrust the leaders of the club and the region with special tasks for the maintenance and equipment of the stadium. "

On May 25, the first transitional matches between RFPL clubs and FNL. SKA-Khabarovsk will host Orenburg, while Krasnoyarsk Yenisey will play at home with Arsenal Tula.

12:00 SKA-KHABAROVSK Khabarovsk (4th place in FNL) - Orenburg Orenburg (13th place in RFPL)

Judge: Sergey Lapochkin (St. Petersburg), 3.58 yellow and 0.27 red cards per game on average in official Russian and international matches of the 2016/17 season

Starting quotes: 3.00 – 3.20 – 2.65

3.75 – 1.30

SKA-Khabarovsk won a ticket to the play-offs in the final match of the FNL championship, having played in their field in a draw with Tambov - 2: 2. In the last eight rounds, the Far East suffered only one defeat, but lost many points due to draws (+ 3 = 4-1). In the last 11 home matches, CSKA lost only to Dynamo Moscow (+ 7 = 3-1).

"Orenburg" in the final round of the RFPL in order to be guaranteed not to fly out directly, a home victory over a very serious rival - "Rostov" was necessary. And the team of Robert Evdokimov coped with this task, beating the opponent with a score of 2: 0.

Finding themselves at the finish of the season in a very difficult situation, the South Urals team got down to business and began to score points in the last eight rounds (+ 4 = 2-2). True, they did it in the overwhelming case in their field, but in six last matches The Premier League on the road took only four points out of 18 possible, beating the semi-reserve squad Tom (2: 1) and drawing a duel with the direct competitor Wings of the Soviets (1: 1).

With each other in history Russian football these clubs have met 9 times. All matches were played in the FNL (first division) championship, and their balance is absolutely equal - the teams won three victories each, and three more fights were drawn. In Khabarovsk, Gazovik lost twice and drew once (1: 2, 0: 2, 1: 1).

- I am glad that SKA-Khabarovsk got into the “joints”, this is objective. Finance and composition are allegories. There are two games ahead, everything will depend on the guys who will take to the field, on the understanding of how to act against the opponent. I sincerely wish the team to win, I know many guys, I know how long it took many of them to achieve this. And the management would like to wish everything to be all right. There is such an expression “to jump over your head”, so I want everything to turn out as successfully as possible in the upcoming matches for SKA. Then, perhaps, it will turn out to beat RFPL team... Nothing is impossible.

Vasily Stolypin, President of FC Orenburg:

- We'll probably fly to Khabarovsk, as always, the day before the match. The flight is long-distance, but not so long ago we played in the first division, and there we already met SKA-Khabarovsk, so nothing new. The backbone of the players remained, and the rest will survive such a flight, everything is fine here. The flight to Khabarovsk will not affect the game of Orenburg. Long flights are part of the sport, you can't get away from it. The mood in the team is upbeat, but not harsh. The players and the coaching staff are very responsible for the upcoming two matches. We will only play to win.

Our forecast is 0: 1.

15:30 YENISEI Krasnoyarsk (3rd place in the FNL) - ARSENAL Tula (14th place in the RFPL)

Live broadcast on the MATCH!

Judge: Vladislav Bezborodov (St. Petersburg), 3.97 yellow and 0.33 red cards on average per game in official Russian and international matches of the 2016/17 season

Starting quotes: 2.70 – 3.20 – 2.90

Starting quotes "Will play in the RFPL": 2.45 – 1.55

Yenisei secured a ticket to the “joints” one round before the finish of the FNL championship. The Krasnoyarsk team passed the last eight rounds without draws and won seven victories (+ 7 = 0-1). At the end of the season, they became the most uncompromising FNL team - only six draws in 38 matches.

Arsenal got out of the relegation zone only in the final round of the Premier League, defeating Spartak Moscow (3: 0) at home and taking advantage of the fact that its rival Krylya Sovetov lost to Terek with the same result. During the RFPL championship, the Tula played very poorly away, where they were defeated in the last nine matches, and they did not win 15 away matches in a row.

Enisey and Arsenal had 10 matches with each other. All - within the framework of the FNL (first division) championship. Three victories were won by Krasnoyarsk, four by Tula, three more matches ended in a draw. If we discard those face-to-face fights that the teams had up to 2001 inclusive, and take only those that took place since 2013, then there will be four of them. Three times won Arsenal (3: 1 and 2: 0 in Krasnoyarsk and 2: 0 at home in Tula), one victory was in the asset of “Yenisei” (2: 1 away).

Andrey Tikhonov, head coach of Enisey:

- We did not care who would become our rival in the play-offs: we already did a great job, no one expected this from us. In the matches with Arsenal we will play our own football, which we know how to play without fighting back, without putting a “bus” in our penalty area. I would like to add that the conditions in Krasnoyarsk are excellent! A great governor who wants the team to be in the Premier League. There are certain conditions that can be created for a team when it gets there. There is a stadium with a capacity of 22 thousand spectators, which will be reconstructed. There is an excellent arena, which I have not seen anywhere else: it is the only one in the whole country. And all this because people want to have football. Hence the arena, and the reconstruction of the stadium, and plus - the great desire of the governor, who with all his heart worries about our team, attends all home matches.

Sergey Kiryakov, head coach of Arsenal:

- To lead a team that, after nine matches, scored seven points and scored only three goals was a real challenge for me. Of course, I understood that hard work awaited me, but this is my chance to start working in the Premier League. So I took a chance. We have a very close-knit team: management, players, coaching staff. Somewhere we were unlucky during the season, somewhere the referees were wrong not in our favor, but in the end everything ended successfully. Now the last chord lies ahead - to win the play-offs.

Our forecast is 1: 1.

Krasnodar “Kuban” and Makhachkala “Anji” have made their first steps towards preserving registration in the elite of national football, having won with a minimum score of 1: 0 FNL clubs claiming to be promoted in class. Southerners won at home against “Tom”, and Makhachkala residents were able to defeat “Volgar” on the road. Let's briefly talk about the matches that took place yesterday.

May 24, 2016, Tuesday. Krasnodar. Kuban Stadium. 9501 viewers.
The chief judge is Alexander Egorov (Saransk).
Kuban (Krasnodar) - Tom (Tomsk) - 1: 0.
Goal: Igor Armash, 18 - from the penalty spot (1: 0).

The away defeat of the Siberians, perhaps strategically, can be considered a fairly good result. Especially considering how “Tom” acted and what it demonstrated. Almost throughout the entire meeting, Valery Petrakov's charges acted sharper, more inventive and more productive. The guests created significantly more moments than the hosts. True, in those few situations that the southerners designed, they looked more interesting and more promising. The outcome of the meeting was decided by an absolutely optional penalty, which the hosts earned back in the very opening of the meeting. Armash, without panic, with a hungry head realized it, bringing his club forward. The goal remained the only one until the final whistle.

Of course, in this pair, practically nothing is clear. In the native walls “Tom”, which she has repeatedly proved during the season in the FNL, is able to significantly add and achieve the desired result for herself. However, Krasnodar residents have also demonstrated that they have learned to use a defensive option and close when it is necessary according to the situation. The return of Pavlyuchenko and Balde who did not play may well add to the team of Sergei Tashuev the strength it needs so much, however, the Tomsk residents have reserves that are not yet involved in the battle. And the game clip, as strange as it sounds, Petrakov at the moment is more impressive and wider. So the fans of both clubs may well look forward to a hot Friday battle.

Championship of Russia 2015 \ 2016. RFPL-FNL play-offs. 1st match.
May 24, 2016, Tuesday. Astrakhan. Central Stadium. 10,500 spectators.
Chief judge - Kirill Levnikov (St. Petersburg).
Volgar (Astrakhan) - Anzhi (Makhachkala) - 0: 1.
Goal: Yannick Boli, 90 + 2 (0: 1).

Suddenly risen from the ashes like a bird Phoenix in the last rounds of the Premier League “Anji”, which had actually been written off before, achieved a very profitable result for itself in the first play-off with the fourth FNL team of this season, Astrakhan “Volgar”. The victory with the minimum score thanks to the only goal in the second stoppage minute performed by Yannick Boli was not easy for Ruslan Agalarov's wards. However, in the course of the meeting it was the guests who looked more attractive and more active, so that the victoria, although won at the very “flag”, can be considered well deserved. The match, which was rolling towards a draw, was lost by the hosts for an elementary reason - the loss of concentration at the very last moment. Incidentally, this is the traditional scourge of all Russian clubs, regardless of their geographic location. Suffice it to recall how many European teams that did not suffer from a similar domestic football disease beat Russian teams in the last minutes in European competitions.

The loss of vigilance and relaxation in the last seconds turned into an unpleasant result for the team of Yuri Gazzaev. However, in the return game, you can still flip in your favor, and in it, as in the other butt pair, a very curious confrontation is expected. “Volgar”, of course, will have more difficult, there is no doubt that fans of Makhachkala residents will actively support their team in the decisive match for her of the season and will thoroughly fill the home stadium. But the residents of Astrakhan, although they have no experience of games of this (albeit local) intensity, are still capable of surprising. However, it is probably still worth giving preference to “Anji”. The team, whatever one may say, will play at home, and the score is already in its favor, and there is also European Cup experience, although only crumbs have remained from the composition of the times of Guus Hiddink.

The return play-offs will take place on May 27 in Tomsk at the Trud stadium and in Kaspiysk at the Anji-Arena stadium. Beginning at 16:00 and 19:00 Moscow time, respectively.

Next week, the play-off matches of the Russian championship between representatives of the Premier League and the FNL will take place. Makhachkala "Anji" will face off against Astrakhan "Volgar", and Krasnodar "Kuban" - with "Tom" from Tomsk. Details are in the Sportbox.ru announcement.

The fight for survival in the Premier League was overdramatic. The home defeat to Mordovia in the 27th round, already with Igor Osinkin, the third helmsman of the season, seemed to put an end to the prospects of keeping a residence in the top division. However, then, thanks to the goals of Roman Pavlyuchenko, Krasnodar sensationally defeated Lokomotiv and Dynamo, becoming favorites in the fight for 12th place. However, it was not possible to cope with the unmotivated Ural in the final meeting - 0: 2 and joints.

Six rounds before the finish, I saw a noteworthy outsider, 4 points behind the transition zone. The situation was corrected by the victory over Kuban, it was not possible to catch the points with Krasnodar and Zenit, but the final segment was the best for the Makhakala players in the entire rally: 7 points in three matches. If it were not for Ufa, which defeated Spartak in their field and sent Dynamo to the FNL, Ruslan Agalarov, together with his charges, would have gone on vacation in excellent mood right now.

Unlike the top division, the four strongest teams of the FNL took shape already at two-thirds of the tournament distance. Gazovik created a big reserve, not allowing to impose a fight for the first place, and the only rearrangement after the 24th round was the arrival of Tula's Arsenal to the second line. At the equator of the championship, "Tom" was in the lead, gaining an equal number of points with "Gazovik" and ahead of the Orenburg team in additional indicators.

However, the end of the autumn - the beginning of the spring segment of the distance Tomsk residents failed, which led to the resignation of Valery Nepomnyashchy. The former mentor was also replaced by a well-known one in Tomsk. Midfielder Sergei Kuznetsov, in an interview with FNL observer Sergei Ilyev, commented on the situation:

“You can't blame everything on Valery Kuzmich: he - good man and a famous trainer. I will not say that we have conceded to someone functionally. It just didn't work out right away - they didn't score, they began to lose points. In the first round, we were lucky, but in the spring - the opposite, luck turned away. And the further, the more they lost confidence in their abilities. "

With a new helmsman, she lost in the first two fights out of three, but then gave out a winning streak, which should return the team a sense of balance on the eve of the joints. The best scorer of Tomsk was Pavel Pogrebnyak's brother Kirill, who distinguished himself 12 times, another striker Anzor Sanaya scored on the ball less.

“Kuban” and “Tom” have approximately equal statistics of personal meetings. Krasnodar won 6 victories, including the last two head-to-head matches in the Premier League of the 2013/2014 season, 7 times stronger were Tomsk citizens, in 5 cases a draw was recorded. For "Tom" the current joints will be the third in a row. Two previous attempts ended in failures - defeats from Ufa and Ural.

In the spring, he played also unevenly - 4 wins, 7 draws, 3 losses, but he confidently retained the fourth position and now, for the first time in history, will compete for the right to play in the Premier League. The most famous player in the team, who has headed Volgar since 2012, is the one who moved to Orenburg in February. A pupil of Dagestan football, he played for the local Dynamo and Anji for several years. In 13 matches of the FNL championship, the forward scored 5 times, and the team's top scorers are Oleg Aleinik (11) and Alexander Alkhazov (8).

The confrontation between Asildars and Anji will become one of the central ones in the upcoming battle for a place in the sun. At the level of the second and first divisions, the rivals played 22 matches among themselves. A huge advantage in this dispute on the side of the Makhachkala club - 18 wins, 3 losses, 1 draw.

The transitional meetings between the Russian divisions will be held for the fifth time in a row. In the 2013-2014 season, FNL clubs Torpedo and Ufa defeated opponents from the Premier League Krylia Sovetov and Tom, respectively. In all other cases, the representatives of the top division prevailed.
