Lokomotiv - CSKA Moscow: betting tip (cf 2.80) and bets on the Russian Cup match

Current form

By the start of the season, Lokomotiv was approaching as a contender for a place in the top three, but it was certainly betting on the championship title – Mikhail Galaktionov's team was inferior to Krasnodar, Zenit and Spartak in terms of player selection, but the favorites are not always stable and the chance to join the fight between them always remains. This was confirmed by the railwaymen, who gave a very powerful start.

Immediately, Lokomotiv took the lead, showed bright attacking football and consistently got results, while most of the direct competitors looked very strange at the start. However, recently the railwaymen have slowed down a bit and issued a series of five draws in a row, losing first place to Krasnodar. However, Loko interrupted the series in the last round, beating Rubin 1-0, the victory allowed him to be on the second line.

In the Cup, Lokomotiv found itself in the same group with CSKA, Akron and Baltika, in which it was initially considered a clear contender for a playoff berth on the way to the RPL. So far, Lokomotiv is leading the group with nine points, but a four-point gap from third Akron does not guarantee even the second place yet. However, today the railway workers have the opportunity to resolve all their issues.

Current form

CSKA changed their coach in the summer, significantly rebuilt the squad, and in such a situation it would be too naive to set maximum goals for themselves, but Fabio Celestini's team was quite capable of fighting for a place in the top three. Over the course of the season, the army team was replenished and gave a great start, immediately indicating their claims to the championship title, they look more than worthy of the game.

In 10 rounds of the championship, CSKA suffered only one defeat, losing rather sensationally in the eighth round 0:1 away to Rostov, but this defeat did not lead to a decline. In the last round, the Army team beat Baltic 1-0 at home with great difficulty, registering their second victory in a row and their sixth of the season. Due to these three points, and Krasnodar's mistakes, we managed to break out on the first line in the table.

In the Cup, CSKA was far from in the weakest group, but it was considered a clear contender for a place in the playoffs on the way to the RPL. The army team did not play Cup matches with the most basic team, but they did not suffer a single defeat in the main time – so far they have managed to hold second place with eight points. Akron is three points away from the bottom, while the Locomotive has one more point.
