Lokomotiv - CSKA Moscow: betting tip (cf 3.65) and bets on the Premier League match

Current form

Before the start of the season, Lokomotiv was not a clear contender for the championship title, being seriously inferior in terms of player selection to its main competitors. However, the railroad workers spent the starting segment at a very high level, scored bright productive victories and stayed close to the leaders, but they slowed down a little closer to the winter break.

After the winter break, Lokomotiv is frankly disappointing and loses points from match to match – pretty quickly Mikhail Galaktionov's team dropped out of the list of potential contenders for the title. The railwaymen had high hopes for winning the Russian Cup, but they were sensationally defeated in the semi-finals of the route of the regions from Rostov.

At the moment, Lokomotiv is in sixth place in the table with 49 points in the asset with no real prospects of moving up the table – Spartak fifth has five points more, but the red-whites have already played their match in the 29th round. In the last round, the Railwaymen beat Fakel 1-0 away, thus extending the unbeaten streak in the championship to four matches.

Current form

CSKA, like its current rival, was not considered a clear contender for the championship title before the start of the season – Zenit, Krasnodar, Spartak and Dynamo were inferior in terms of player selection and failed to strengthen qualitatively in the summer. In the first half of the season, Marko Nikolic's team made a lot of mistakes and immediately found themselves outside the top five, but they stayed close.

After the winter break, CSKA made a very serious improvement and produced a powerful winning streak, which helped move up the table and for a while even included the team among the potential contenders for the title. However, the army team did not participate in the championship race, but at the same time they are fighting for the third place, which in general will be a very good result for such a season.

At the moment, CSKA is in fourth place in the table with 55 points and one point behind third Dynamo, but the blue and white have already played their match in the 29th round. Spartak is one point away from the bottom and is also a threat. Last week, CSKA sensationally reached the Superfinal of the Russian Cup – the Army team won back two goals behind Zenit at home, and then turned out to be stronger in the penalty shootout.
