Lokomotiv has found the current campaign extremely difficult, although the spring part of last season gave them hope for a bright future. Then, they played excellently, doing many things well, which allowed them to regain some positions. However, Mikhail Galaktionov's wards have won just one game in five, which has become a problem. The coach gradually began to rebuild the capital team's game, and his efforts gave results: in their last six matches, Locomotiv lost only to Orenburg (2:0), shared points with Ural (2:2), and won four times. Such a productive run helped the Railwaymen get fourth place in the standings.

In the off-season, Dinamo's coach was Marcel Licka, who could have had a better debut at his new club, losing 3:1 to Krasnodar and missing out on a 3:3 draw with Krylia Sovetov. But in the next five rounds, Dinamo scored 13 points out of 15. It looked as if the Muscovites were now unstoppable, but they were having problems again. In their last four games, they shared points with Pari NN - 1:1, Akhmat - 1:1, and Fakel - 0:0 and lost the derby to Spartak - 1:0. Four games without a win put Dynamo to sixth in the standings.

Lokomotiv and Dynamo are neighbors in the Premier League standings, but Mikhail Galakhov's men will be in a better mood. Locomotiv has won four of the last six rounds, while Dinamo has failed to find a winner in four consecutive matches. Home advantage is also in the Railwaymen's favor, winning three of their last four. On the other hand, Marcel Licka's team has struggled away from home, winning just once in six previous games.

The Lokomotiv-Dynamo confrontation has become a goal-scoring affair of late. In their last three meetings, the opponents scored 16 goals (an average of 5.33 per game) - a high result - and in their previous four games, they exchanged goals. There should be no problems with the scoreline as the two bright and attacking games.
