In this confrontation, bookmakers put the guests as the favorites, and it is hard to disagree with this. The "railwaymen" are playing away and will most likely use their more balanced lineup, which will allow them to be stronger. The team from Yaroslavl is set only for victory, and we believe that they will leave no chance for the opponent from Moscow.

Bet on total
In this pair, the guests will have the advantage, will get a comfortable advantage and bring the game to a logical conclusion. It is worth paying attention to the fact that in the last three matches of Lokomotiv, less than seven goals were scored, and we believe that in this confrontation, too, a goal extravaganza will not take place.

The hosts have no problems in attack, and the team has scored an average of three goals since the start of the season. However, we believe that the Muscovites will not be able to upset the opponent goalkeeper more than twice.
