Do quotation marks in the title of an article affect search results in Google and Yandex?

Question

Search Engine Optimization

There is an article about the football team with the title:
"Spartak-Primorye" beat their rivals before the Super League championship.
We are currently working on SEO-optimization of this article and we would like the material to appear as high as possible in the search results for the query "Spartak". Therefore, the question is - will the quotes in the title of the article affect the issue in Google and Yandex? Maybe it's worth writing without quotes, like this:
Spartak-Primorye beat their rivals before the Super League championship.
PS I would be grateful if you would at least briefly argue your answer, thanks!
