Command Analysis

FC Rostov

Current form
Rostov definitely expected to compete for a place in the top six at the end of the season and, in general, had the opportunity to set such tasks for themselves, having a sufficiently qualified selection of players. In the first half of the season, Rostov residents were impressive and generally coped with their task, but after the resignation of Valery Karpin, they slowed down. At the moment, Rostov is in seventh place in the table with 36 points, due to the prospect of moving higher in the table – the sixth Locomotive has eight points more.
Disqualifications and injuries
Golenkov, Sako and Komarov were disqualified. Mohebi, Yatimov and El-Askalani were injured.
Interesting betting trends
- Rostov has not won in the last four home matches – three defeats and a draw.
- Rostov has not beaten Lokomotiv in the last four matches - three defeats and a draw.
Approximate line—up: Odoevsky — Langovich, Melekhin, Osipenko, Vakhania — Mironov, Shantali, Shchetinin - Ronaldo, Komlichenko, Bayramyan.

Lokomotiv Moscow

Current form
Lokomotiv was not a clear contender for the championship title before the start of the season, but it gave a very decent start to the season and the first round as a whole, declaring its championship ambitions. However, there were not enough railwaymen for the whole season, Mikhail Galaktionov's team gradually fell behind the leaders and currently occupies sixth place in the table, already 14 points behind Krasnodar - even considering the match in reserve, such a handicap cannot be won back. Having defeated Paris NN 3-0 in the last round, Lokomotiv interrupted a series of three matches without a victory in the championship.
Disqualifications and injuries
Farmhands and Godyaev are injured.
Interesting betting trends
- Lokomotiv lost their last two away matches.
- In the last four away matches, Lokomotiv conceded
Approximate composition: Mitryushkin — Silyanov, Pogostnov, Nyamsi, Samoshnikov — Barinov, Timofeev — Sevikyan, Rakov, Pinyaev — Vorobyov.

2.05Tip and bets
Rostov scored a long–awaited victory in the last round, and this success can restore the team's confidence in their abilities - the hosts no longer have any special tournament motivation, but at the same time, Rostov residents have not won in their field for a long time and will surely try to put an end to this series today. Lokomotiv is vulnerable defensively and is unlikely to be able to win back to zero in such a duel, but at the same time, the railwaymen are still competing for bronze and will clearly be set up for all three points – the duel will certainly be productive, scoring extravaganzas have been regularly happening in face-to-face meetings of the teams.
We believe that the match will be productive. The betting tip is a total of more than three goals. This bet is offered with odds of 1.95
Betting on the outcome
Lokomotiv is still a contender for the third place and will probably play to win today in an attempt to stay in the race for bronze. In general, the goal for railway workers is quite achievable – Rostov has been making mistakes regularly in its field lately and is generally not particularly stable, there are a number of serious personnel losses, and there is no tournament motivation. It makes sense to give preference to the guests in such a match, they need three points much more now.
The bet is an Asian handicap (0) on the Locomotive. This bet is offered for 2.25
Betting on corners
Lokomotiv will obviously come for a win and spend a lot of time attacking, but Rostov will also be set up for points at home and is unlikely to close in defense – there should be plenty of corners.
The bet is a total of more than 9.5 corners. This bet is offered for 1.75
