Command Analysis
FC Rostov
Current form
Rostov has not lost anything in terms of results after Alba's departure. Under Kirichenko's leadership, the team scored four points in the RPL in the previous two rounds. They managed to beat Akron (1-0) on their own field, and a draw with Baltic was recorded on the road (0-0). At the same time, the problems in the attack have not disappeared anywhere: in the last four rounds, Rostov scored only one goal, and that was from a free kick performed by Komarov against Tolyatti. Rostov ranks ninth in the standings with 12 points, but is only one point away from the play-off zone.
Disqualifications and injuries
Rostov has Zhbanov and Ignatov on the injured list.
Interesting betting trends
In the previous four rounds in the RPL, Rostov scored only one goal.
Rostov's players fouled more often than their opponents in 9 of the 11 previous matches.
After the situation with the squad was stabilized, the Locomotive has noticeably improved and is already close to leaving the play-off zone. The railwaymen have not lost in the last three rounds. In this segment, they drew on their own field with Krylia Sovetov (1:1) and Krasnodar (3:3), and on the road they defeated Fakel with a crushing score of 5:0. Mikhail Galaktionov's team could have easily achieved victory over Krasnodar, they led 3-1, but in the end they allowed their opponent to even the score. Lokomotiv currently has no problems in attack: they scored nine goals in three rounds, and this despite the fact that they had scored only seven times in eight matches before.
Disqualifications and injuries
The entry of Babkin and Pinyaev into the field is questionable.
Interesting betting trends
In three of the last five matches involving Lokomotiv, a draw was recorded at the end of the first half.
In seven of the nine previous matches of the Railwaymen, more than two offsides were recorded.
Rostov, largely due to the factor of its field, gets the status of a favorite in the line of bookmakers. Plus, the Rostov team did not lose in the previous two rounds. At the same time, there were no improvements in the offensive game after Dmitry Kirichenko appeared on the coaching bridge, the only goal against Akron was scored from a free kick.
Lokomotiv has recently improved in attack, the defense of any opponent is not a problem for Mikhail Galaktionov's wards. A victory today will allow the railwaymen to leave the play-off zone. At least in terms of creating and implementing chances, the Muscovites outperform the upcoming opponent and will have a good chance of three points.
Our betting tip is that the Locomotive with the Asian handicap (0) will win by a factor of 2.30
Rostov has scored only 11 goals in the RPL since the beginning of the season, and scored only once in the last four rounds. It is unlikely that with such a weak game in attack, Rostov will be able to score two goals today.

Betting on corners
Lokomotiv has very poor statistics on corners: nine defeats in the last 11 matches. Accordingly, based on this trend, we recommend another betting tip for the game.
