LiontipsLokomotiv vs Krasnodar. Prediction and Betting Tips for Russian Premier League (August 22, 2021).
Command Analysis
Lokomotiv started the season with a defeat from Zenit in the Super Cup (0:3). Marko Nikolic's charges were off to a shaky start in the first round of the Premier League, too: they conceded first from Arsenal Tula. But with ten minutes to go, Loko scored the equalizer, and then two more goals (3:1). This turnaround inspired the team, and they pulled off a similar trick in the derby with CSKA (2:1).
Lokomotiv drew Ufa 1:1 away, and in the last round, they drew Zenit at home with the same score. The Red-greens are currently in 5th place in the table.
Krasnodar had a powerful start. Viktor Goncharenko's team left no chances for Ural in the opening game (3:0). John Cordoba scored his debut goal in the Premier League for the Bulls. However, Krasnodar couldn't develop a winning streak: the Bulls lost in the following two games to Khimki (0:1) and Zenit (2:3).
In the last round, Krasnodar hosted Arsenal Tula. They have never lost points against Arsenal at home. The Gunners opened the scoring, but Krasnodar answered with three goals in the first half. The game ended with a 3:2 victory of Krasnodar. Now they are 7th in the table.

Tip and bets
Lokomotiv haven't lost yet, but their game is far from perfect. In the last round, they almost lost to Zenit, even though Zenit had only ten players in the game after Kuzyayev's red card. Krasnodar look more interesting. They have defensive problems, which they compensate for with great attacking performance.
We believe that the guests have a better chance. Our prediction - Asian handicap (0) to Krasnodar.
Lokomotiv outplayed the weaker teams, but they looked poor against equal rivals. They managed to draw Zenit only because the defending champion were shorthanded. CSKA are only getting in shape, but they still created problems for Loko. Krasnodar should be able to win, but it won't be easy.
Our second bet - Krasnodar to win by 1 goal.
