LIVESCORE RUSSIA PREMIER LEAGUE

Livescore Russian Premier League (also known as Rosgosstrakh Championship of Russia or Российская футбольная премьер-лига in rusian) , the top division of Russian football. There are 16 teams in the competition: at the end of the season two teams are relegated to the Russian First Division and replaced with the two top First Division teams. Teams play each other twice, once at home and once away, for a total of 30 matches. Three points are awarded for a win, one for a draw, and none for a loss. If teams are level on points, the tie-breakers are the number of wins, then the goal difference, followed by several others. If the teams are tied for the first position, the tie-breakers are the number of wins, then head-to-head results. If the teams tied for the first place cannot be separated by these tie-breakers, a championship play-off is ordered. The champions qualify for the UEFA Champions League group stage, as well as the runners-up. The third-placed team qualifies for the Champions League 2nd qualifying round. The fourth- and fifth-placed teams qualify for the newly named UEFA Europa League. The bottom two teams are relegated to the First Division. The Russian First Division is the second level of Russian professional football and it consists of 22 clubs. Unlike other European football leagues, the Premier League and the First Division typically run in summer, from March to November, to avoid playing games under the cold and snowy weather in winter.
