Command Analysis

Lokomotiv Moscow

Lokomotiv fought hardly for a third spot in the Champions League group stage, but failed to achieve a desired result. Playing in a number of different competitions was a hard time for Railwaymen, so they lost many points in domestic competition and left for a winter break on a second part of the standings.

But since the first matches after winter break it become clear that Marko Nikolic's team is on its way back to the top of the table. Lokomotiv put up an impressive string of victoriesin both league and Russian Cup. They are now second in the league, six points behind the leader.

In last match Lokomotiv defeated Rostov (4:1) and that is their ninth win in a row. Lokomotiv has suddenly become a real title contender.

CSKA Moscow

CSKA also had mediocre first part of the season, but Army Men didn't allowed the league leaders to pull away from them completely. After the winter break they managed to put up some good performances and to fight for a Champions League qualification at one point, but now situation has changed. Ivica Olic's team is now on the fifth place, three points behind second-placed Lokomotiv.

CSKA still have some chances for a Champions League spot, but that will be tough for them - Spartak is also fighting for the second placed and Rubin is not so far as well. CSKA lost a crucial game to Sochi (1:2) on their last away match and break the two game winning streak.

Tip and bets

TipHandicap (0) to CSKA

1.89

Lokomotiv is in outstanding form with 9-game winning streak after the winter break. Of course they will try to extend it in this match. But CSKA should not be underestimated - Army Men are not so stable as the Railwaymen, but they have the same amount of potential and will be highly motivated for this game - a win in the Cup is probably their last chance to get in the European competition.

We think that guests have more chances to win this game. Our prediction - Asian handicap (0) to CSKA.

Will the prediction win?

TipBoth teams to score

1.88

Lokomotiv scores many goals recently and CSKA is not so good on defense so we can expect the Railwaymen to score. But CSKA also have a strong attack, so we can see a goal exchange.

Our second wager is both teams to score.
