Command Analysis
Lokomotiv Moscow
Current form
Lokomotiv gave their fans hope that they had managed to stabilize the game and the results. There have been no defeats in three rounds in a row in the Premier League, but it is clearly not possible to keep such a stable level at a distance. In the last round, the railwaymen lost to Rostov on the road with a score of 0:2, after which they could not match CSKA in the Cup (1:3). As a result, Mikhail Galaktionov's team occupies only the 14th place and only breaks away from Akhmat from the relegation zone in terms of additional indicators. It should be noted that the Locomotive has not won a single victory in its field since the beginning of the season in the RPL.
Disqualifications and injuries
Babkin will not play due to injury. Montes, Bakaev and Pinyaev are in question.
Interesting betting trends
In four consecutive matches, Lokomotiv has not won in the first half.
Lokomotiv's players were offside less often than their opponents in four of the last five matches.
Spartak went undefeated in the Premier League for four rounds, but the unbeaten streak was interrupted in the last round in the derby with CSKA (0:2). The Red and white had an unsuccessful first half, after which they returned to the game, had good chances, but could not score at least a goal. Nevertheless, Carcedo's team is still among the contenders for at least the top three in the standings, with 23 points and fifth place. Last week, Spartak beat Rubin in the Class Cup with a minimum score of 1:0. Carcedo rested many of the leaders in that match.
Disqualifications and injuries
Martins and Zorin are on the injured list.
Interesting betting trends
Spartak was stronger than Lokomotiv in three of the last four head-to-head matches
In 8 of Spartak's 11 previous matches, no more than nine shots on goal were recorded.
In October, Lokomotiv had a small surge in the game and results, but nothing is working on the distance. In the last round, the railroad workers could not do anything against Rostov. Today we have to play on our own field, where there has not been a single victory in the RPL since the beginning of the season. Spartak allowed themselves to misfire with CSKA, but in general, the red and white rarely lose points against rivals from the bottom of the table, only in the last five rounds they managed to win against Rostov, Fakel, Rubin. The current Locomotive is hardly stronger than these opponents at the moment.
Our betting tip is that Spartak will win by a factor of 1.73
Lokomotiv has conceded seven goals in the last three matches alone, taking into account all tournaments. With such a defensive game, it will be difficult to hold off Spartak's powerful attack. The red-whites scored at least two goals against the Railwaymen in five of the previous six face-to-face games, which we expect from them today.
The second bet is Spartak's individual goal total of more than 1.5 with a coefficient of 1.65
Betting on corners
Lokomotiv has frankly weak statistics on corners: 10 defeats in 12 previous matches. Spartak will clearly have the initiative on the field today and will surely win on the corners.
The betting tip is that Spartak will win on corners with a handicap (-1.5) with a coefficient of 1.85
