In an exclusive interview with Match TV, Vladimir Ponomarev, a former defender for CSKA Moscow, has expressed his confidence in the team's ability to secure a victory in their upcoming MIR RPL match against Akron Tolyatti. The sixth round of the MIR RPL will take place on Sunday at 5:30 PM Moscow time, with CSKA hosting the match at their home field.

Ponomarev acknowledged that Akron is a decent team, but he believes CSKA is currently in top form. The match presents an opportunity for CSKA to move up in the MIR RPL standings, as they are currently in third place with 11 points. On the other hand, Akron is in 12th position with only 6 points.

Ponomarev predicted a 2:0 victory for CSKA in the match, stating that he expects the team to play actively and handle the opponent with ease. He also advised against dwelling on the previous challenging cup match against Akron, where CSKA lost in the penalty shootout.

It is worth noting that CSKA and Akron have previously played each other in the MIR RPL, with CSKA having no losses against Akron in league matches. However, CSKA did suffer a defeat against Akron in the Russian Cup this season, where the regular time ended 1-1 but Akron won in the penalty shootout.

Ponomarev also spoke about the high demands of CSKA's head coach, Fabio Capello, and the championship-level mindset and approach required for success. He highlighted Artem Dzyuba's play at 37 as deserving respect, praising his contributions to the team.

The match will be a crucial one for both teams, as the current standing positions may affect the outcome. A victory for CSKA would help them maintain their position in the top three, while a win for Akron could help them climb out of the relegation zone. Fans of both teams are eagerly awaiting the match, which promises to be an exciting encounter.
