Lokomotiv - Spartak: betting tip (cf 3.45) and bets on the Premier League match

Current form

Lokomotiv definitely expected to compete for a place in the top three – this is the minimum task that Mikhail Galaktionov's team could set itself, but it probably also had championship ambitions. The railwaymen opened the season with a duel against Sochi - the match turned out to be difficult, but in the end they managed to score three times against the Leopards and form a confident victory.

In the second round, Lokomotiv faced Krasnodar, and it was the bulls who were considered the clear favorites of the pair, but contrary to all betting tips, they managed to snatch all three points. The railwaymen confidently fought a duel and won 2-1, allowing the opponent to score a prestige goal in the end. In the last round, Loko beat Paris NN 3-2 and gained a foothold at the top of the table with nine points.

In the Russian Cup, Lokomotiv found itself in the same group with CSKA, Akron and Baltika, in which it was considered a clear favorite. In the first round, the railwaymen met with CSKA in the derby and did not play with the most basic team, for which they eventually paid. The Army team dominated most of the match and deservedly won 2-1, sending Lokomotiv to the last place in the group.

Current form

Spartak, like last season, was definitely betting on the championship title – the selection of players obliged them to set themselves such tasks, especially since several expensive transfers were made in the current season. Deyan Stankovich's team started in a home match against Dynamo Makhachkala, in which they won 1-0 without much effort.

However, today this victory remains the only one. In the second round, Spartak met with Baltika at home and already in the 11th minute remained in the minority, which the Kaliningrad team easily took advantage of, winning 3-0 in Moscow. In the last round, the red-whites were close to defeating Akron in the minority, but before the final whistle, the Tolyatti team equalized the score from the penalty spot and a 1-1 draw in this situation was a big disappointment.

In the Russian Cup, Spartak got into the same group with Rostov, Makhachkala Dynamo and Paris NN, in which it was considered the undisputed favorite before the start of the group stage. In the first round, the red-whites faced Rostov away and had no problems with the non–main squad - a 2-0 victory allowed Spartak to lead their group after the first round.

Interesting betting trends
