Rubin spent the hardest season 2021/22, after which he was forced to leave the elite Russian division, but in just a year returned to the RPL again. The Kazan side had to get used to a higher level of opposition in the opening stages of the last season, but they soon adapted and performed very well, finishing in eighth place in the standings. There is no doubt that in the current championship the Tatarstan team will claim to solve even more serious problems, and the first step towards this was made already in the opening round. They travelled to Nizhny Novgorod, where they conceded in the third minute, but this local failure only encouraged them and allowed them to beat Pari NN - 4:2.

Zenit gradually begins to resemble an all-destroying machine, which five years in a row under the leadership of Sergei Semak won an early championship title. Last season, they had much more problems, and they very rarely topped the standings, but they rolled to the finish line, overtook their rivals and won their sixth consecutive title. Moreover, they defeated Baltika in the Russian Cup final 2"1, and in the first official game of the new season they won the Super Cup of the country, defeating Krasnodar 4:2. The Petersburgers didn't stop there either. In the opening round of the RPL they defeated Krylia Sovetov in Samara 4:0.

At the turn of April and May, Zenit had a 5-match winless streak, after which their chances of triumph in the RPL and Russian Cup were seen as minimal. Except that the St. Petersburg team decided otherwise. They won three key games at the end of last season, which allowed them to win both tournaments, then won the Super Cup, and now in the championship they started with a resounding victory. Obviously, Sergei Semak's men have caught the spirit and intend to extend their successful streak.
