CSKA Moscow - Lokomotiv: betting tip (cf 2.18) and bets on the Premier League match

Current form

CSKA, in accordance with the calendar, hold five opening rounds at once on their field. Despite this, the Army team could not take full advantage of this factor: they scored only eight points. There were no defeats, but it is unlikely that Dmitry Igdisamov's team can score draws with Wings of the Soviets (1:1) and Rostov (0:0). With eight points scored, CSKA is in fifth place in the table.

In the last round, the Muscovites beat Fakel (1-0) with some problems. Oblyakov scored the only goal in that meeting from the penalty spot in the 71st minute. During the entire game, the Army team scored only three shots on target. Of the positive aspects, the only thing that can be noted is that they did not allow Voronezh to create anything, who did not register a single shot on target during the entire game.

In the Russian Cup, CSKA is still looking uncertain, but again there are problems in attack. At first, Dmitry Igdisamov's team played with Lokomotiv, had a significant advantage, led in the score, but allowed the opponent to recoup and won only in a penalty shootout. Last week, the Army team lost in the home cup game to Akron (0:1): they conceded an early goal, completely controlled the initiative later, created a large number of chances, but they could not score.

Disqualifications and injuries

Akinfeev, Moises and Reis will not be able to play today due to injuries.

Taking into account the Cup and the RPL, Lokomotiv played six matches in which they did not win a single victory. Obviously, there are losses in the squad. The railwaymen are playing without a central striker: Vorobyov has left the club, and Komlichenko is injured. Batrakov moved to Turkey, and is close to joining Zenit opornik Karpukas. There are no significant acquisitions yet, there is only talk of signing Babkin from Krylia Sovetov and the center forward.

In four rounds in the RPL, Lokomotiv scored only three goals – it's hard to count on high places with such an attack. With three points scored, Mikhail Galktionov's team is in 12th place in the table. In the last round, a 1-1 draw with Orenburg was recorded on the road. Batrakov opened the scoring in the third minute of that meeting, but failed to maintain the advantage. The opponent equalized the score in the second half, but also did not score a penalty. During the entire match, the railwaymen scored only two shots on target, while they allowed Orenburg to threaten their goal eight times.
