Lokomotiv - CSKA Moscow: betting tip (cf 1.90) and bets on the Russian Cup match

Current form

Lokomotiv was approaching the start of the new season after numerous successful friendly matches. In total, the railwaymen held eight sparring sessions, in which they won six victories, suffered one defeat and drew once. It seemed that there would be no problems in the opening rounds of the RPL, especially since the calendar was not the most difficult: a home game with Akhmat and a visit to Dynamo Makhachkala

In each of the two matches in the Premier League, Lokomotiv took the lead in the score, but failed to maintain the advantage. A 1-1 draw was recorded with Akhmat, and 1 was defeated by Dynamo.:2. There are clearly problems with the functional preparation of the players, as Mikhail Galaktionov's team missed all three goals after the break, gave the initiative to the opponents, and lacked speed.

There were concerns in the betting tips that Dmitry Igdisamov's wards would be able to achieve positive results at the start of the Premier League. However, at least a complete failure was definitely avoided. In the opening two rounds, the Army team scored four points: they defeated the Baltic (2:1) and parted in peace with the Wings of the Soviets (1:1). In the match against Kaliningrad, the advantage in functional training affected: in the second half, the Muscovites had no problems keeping a high pace, there was a good speed in the movement of the ball, which was the key moment of success. Igdisamov's team led the score against the Samaritans, there were opportunities to increase the advantage, but in the end they missed themselves in the second half, but they could not score the second goal, the opponent defended clearly, played confidently and calmly with the second number.

From the two opening matches, it is clearly noticeable that the army team is functionally well prepared. At the same time, with both Kaliningrad and Samara, the team dropped out of the game in some segments, there was a loss of concentration, and the opponents had their chances in attack.
