Krasnodar have experience of playing in Europe, finishing third in their Champions League group in 2020. (EPA Images pic) KRASNODAR : FC Krasnodar won their first Russian Premier League title yesterday, halting Zenit St Petersburg's six-year winning streak, but are unlikely to play in Europe next season. Russia's national team and club sides were banned from European competitions after Moscow invaded Ukraine in 2022, prompting numerous sanctions. FC Krasnodar, from the city in southern Russia, were founded in 2008 by the local retail magnate and billionaire Sergei Galitsky. They finished second in the Russian Premier League last year and reached the Russian Cup final in 2014 and 2023, losing both on penalties. Krasnodar beat Dinamo Moscow 3-0 yesterday to finish one point ahead of Zenit St Petersburg. They have Russian international goalkeeper Stanislav Agkatsev and striker Alexander Chernikov in their squad, along with Armenian midfielder and team captain Eduard Spertsyan. Colombian striker Jhon Cordoba opened the scoring in the title-clinching game against Dinamo Moscow. Uefa president Aleksander Ceferin said last month that Russian clubs would be readmitted into the continent's competitions once the war in Ukraine is over. 'Of course, it's regrettable. But bring on the Champions League, we will show you!' said Krasnodar fan Andrey Bragin outside the club's Ozon Arena stadium. The black-and-green team, also known as the Bulls, have experience of playing in Europe, finishing third in their Champions League group in 2020 after facing Chelsea, Sevilla and Rennes. Krasnodar manager Murad Musayev, 41, said he was overwhelmed with joy at winning the Russian title. 'I hope we will return to the Champions League,' he said.

Pick of the stats: Sunderland v Watford
Sunderland welcome Watford on Saturday (12:30 GMT) looking to keep their automatic promotion bid alive. The Black Cats are unbeaten in six matches (W4 D2) following a dramatic 3-2 win at local rivals Middlesbrough on Monday night and are three points behind both Burnley in second and Sheffield United in third. A run of just one win in eight (D1 L6) has seen the Hornets slip to 12th but they are still only three points off the play-off spots. Sunderland have won six of their past eight home league games against Watford (D1 L1), including victory in this exact fixture last season via a 2-0 scoreline. Watford have won each of their past two league games against Sunderland and will be looking to win three in succession for the first time since January 1993. Sunderland are unbeaten in all 14 of their Championship home games this season (W9 D5) – they last had a longer unbeaten home run from the start of a second tier (or higher) campaign in 1979-80, when they were unbeaten in all 21 at Roker Park. Watford have lost six of their past eight league games (W1 D1), including each of the past three in a row. They've not lost four consecutively in the second tier since November 2014. Wilson Isidor has scored in four of his past six league games for Sunderland, including the past two in a row. He last scored in three consecutive league games in July 2023, in the Russian Premier League with Lokomotiv Moscow.
