This weekend will show how well the teams used a pause. Two western Georgian clubs (“Baia” and “Kolkheti”) did not have good preparation due to some financial problem. Supposedly it will reflect on their final results at championship. Current champion hopefully continues competing. Nestor Mumladze who resigned from the head coach’s position of “Torpedo” three weeks ago now trains current champion and next match against “Wit Georgia” will be quite serious exam of him. By the way he left “Torpedo” after losing with his former team (0:1). Three times champion “Torpedo” which is on the second last place now will play against a leader “Zestaponi”.

After August 29 “Spartaki” has not won and in a result to it the club takes the last place. The leadership of the club has chanced a head coach after the first circle, but it is doubtful “Spartak” to stop unsuccessful playing with “Dinamo”. By the way, “Spartaki” has won over “Dinamo” in this championship (2:1)

“Kolkheti” will play with reserve staff because main staff went on strike in demands of salary.
