Russian Premier League table: how to read points and goal difference
The gap from top to bottom is 16 points. Krasnodar lead on 18 with a difference of +7; Fakel Voronezh sit last on 2. Spartak Moscow are second, 5 points behind.
Zenit Saint Petersburg score most with 13 goals. Krasnodar defend best, conceding 4, while Rodina Moscow have shipped 17 — the spread between those two says how uneven the league is at the back.
A club takes 1.34 points per match on average and scores 8.3 goals across the season. The median is 9 points (Rubin Kazan), with 6 clubs above it. The median describes a league better than the mean does: one runaway side pulls the mean up and barely moves the median.
The drop zone is 2 points from safety: Rodina Moscow sit 13th on 4, against Fakel Voronezh on 2. Those are the numbers that decide the closing weeks.
Russian Premier League home and away: split points
The Russian Premier League table recomputes separately for home fixtures and for away ones. They are the same matches split by venue, so points in the two tables always sum back to the overall one.
CSKA Moscow take the most at home, 11 points from 5 matches, while Zenit Saint Petersburg lead away on 9 — more often different clubs than you would expect.
CSKA Moscow depend on their ground most: 11 points at home against 1 away, a gap of 10. Zenit Saint Petersburg show the smallest split at -6. Across the league a club takes -0.2 more points at home than away.
Russian Premier League: goals, averages and difference
Across 48 matches the league has produced 132 goals, 2.75 per game. Home sides win 33% of the time, both teams score in 60%, and 58% finish over 2.5.
Dynamo Makhachkala carry the flattest goal difference at 0 — clubs on those numbers usually sit mid-table, equally far from the title and the drop.

Russian Premier League: division size and what it changes
The size of a division changes how its figures read. With 16 clubs each plays 6 matches, and a run of three or four results moves a position further than it would in a league twice the size: the sample is smaller, so chance weighs more.
For the same reason the points gap between neighbouring places tends to be narrower here and the middle of the table reorders more often. Goal difference is especially useful in a division this size, because it accumulates across every match and depends less on who a club happened to face recently.
Comparing this division with others on absolute numbers — goals scored, points taken — means little where the number of rounds differs. What compares is the relative measures: points per match, scoring rate, the share of draws.

15 of 48 matches ended level, 31%. The draw rate is among the steadiest numbers a league produces: it moves less from season to season than goals scored or final positions do.

Common questions
How are points awarded in the Russian Premier League table?
Three points for a win, one for a draw, none for a defeat. A side with more wins can still sit below one that draws often, but only where the number of matches played differs.
What separates clubs level on points?
Goal difference first, then goals scored. Krasnodar currently lead Russian Premier League on 18 points with a difference of +7.
How does the home table differ from the overall one?
The home table counts only matches played at home and the away table only those on the road. They are the same fixtures, so the two sets of points add back to the overall table. A mid-table club is often in the top three of one of them.
How many goals does a match produce on average?
2.75 per game across 48 matches. Both teams score in 60% of them and 58% finish over 2.5 goals.
Where are previous seasons?
In the country archive: Russia, final tables year by year, split by division and, where they existed, by territorial zone.
How can two clubs be compared?
Through the head-to-head panel: pick two sides and it returns the score of their meetings this season, read from the same results grid the home and away tables are computed from.
