Grishin: CSKAs Loss Would Be a Shocking Upset with Half of Rostov Players Unsettled

Former CSKA Moscow football player **[Alexander Grishin](https://www.championat.com/tags/22816-aleksandr-grishin/)** expressed his views on the upcoming Superfinal of the Russian Cup for the 2024/2025 season, where the Moscow club will face off against Rostov. The match is scheduled for Sunday, June 1, with a kickoff at 18:00 Moscow time at the Luzhniki Stadium in Moscow.

«Without a doubt, CSKA is the clear favorite in the Superfinal of the Russian Cup. The team has a well-defined strategy that surpasses that of Rostov. CSKA concedes very few goals and has been scoring enough in recent matches to secure victories. We are aware that Rostov is experiencing some turmoil, with half their players seemingly ready to leave. The motivation will undoubtedly be at its peak for the CSKA players.

I believe that the Rostov team is already in a fragmented state, even though they could make a strong statement in their last game. It would be a significant upset if CSKA were to lose this final. Rostov will be missing Mochebi and Ronaldo, with only Golenkov and Komlichenko available to play. Additionally, Glebov, who was pivotal in stabilizing the midfield, is also out. Rostov’s chances against such a CSKA are extremely slim,» Grishin remarked in an interview with **Championat** correspondent Vladislav Kruglov.
