Fans are asking themselves the question of who will win this year more and more often. On July 15, 2023 in Kazan at the Ak Bars Arena, we will learn the name of the next winner of the main Cup of the country.
For both rivals, this cup, if won, will be the eighth in a row, so that before the final whistle of the referee, both teams will be equal in the number of trophies. The only question is, what will win the Russian Super Cup match Zenit - CSKA?
The rivalry of the clubs has been going on since the pre-war 30s. It continued during the war and after it, and the USSR Cup then left Moscow for Leningrad, then returned. Alternately in the history of the clubs there have been long winless series against each other. That «Zenith» could not defeat «army men », then «army men» were inferior to «Zenith» for some time. Perhaps, there is no opposition in domestic football that is more equivalent in strength to the opponents.
In total, the teams played 158 matches against each other, in which the advantage is on the side of "CSKA" - 68 wins. Zenit has 44 wins, but the club has been holding the title of national champion for many years in a row, confidently bypassing the rest of the teams, which cannot be said about CSKA. Muscovites managed to rise above the 4th position in the regular season standings for the first time in five years.
As for personal meetings in the Super Bowl, here luck has already smiled twice at Zenit, so there is every chance that this year it will be favorable to the Moscow club. Have time to buy tickets for the Super Cup match "Zenit" - "CSKA" and watch the game from the stands "Ak Bars Arena"!
