- В рамках 27-го тура первенства России по футболу столичному "Локомотиву" предстоит сыграть против казанского "Рубина", который неделю назад отобрал очки у другого претендента на "золото" - питерского "Зенита". "Локо", который отстает от ЦСКА на одно очко, считается явным фаворитом предстоящей встречи. В случае победы железнодорожники станут лидерами Чемпионата как минимум на один день. Пока в понедельник, 25 октября, не состоится ключевой поединок не только 27-го тура, но и всего чемпионата: лидер премьер-лиги московский ЦСКА в Санкт-Петербурге встретится с местным "Зенитом", который занимает третью строчку в таблице. |
