Lokomotiv in the current season does not look the best. From the very beginning of the championship, the team started to lose points, which made it impossible to get close to the group of leaders. Mikhail Galaktionov is struggling with his team's game problems, trying to add balance and stability, but progress is enough for a couple or three games, followed by setbacks. In the last three games, the Red-Greens have not won once: draws with Ural and Dynamo - 2:2 and 0:0, respectively, and a 0:1 defeat to Rostov. Now, they are seventh in the RPL standings. However, they beat Rubin 3:0 in the FONBET Cup of Russia this week, finishing the group stage of the tournament in first place.

Spartak is another team that managed to win their quartet at the group stage of the FONBET Cup of Russia. Still, such a good performance was possible due to a sharp opening, when the Moscow side won four in a row, but in the last two rounds, they lost to Dynamo and Krasnodar - 0:3 and 2:3, respectively. Things are tough for the Red and White in the championship, where in the last four meetings, they won only once against Pari NN at home - 2:0. In addition, they shared the points in the derby with CSKA - 2:2 while losing to Krylia Sovetov - 0:4, as well as Fakel - 0:2. A series of failures dropped the capital team to sixth position in the standings.

Spartak continues to experience colossal game problems. Their very poor results confirm it: in the last six matches, they suffered four defeats, and away, the situation is even worse, as in the six previous away battles, they lost five times with a total score of 2:14. Here and in the upcoming confrontation Guillermo Abascal's wards will be problematic to count on a positive result, as there is no progress in their game. The opponents, on the contrary, played a great cup match in the week, charged with positive emotions, and are now ready for the derby.

We've already noted that Spartak has been playing very poorly on the road lately, and the defense of the capital team looks especially problematic. In the last six away games, the Red-Whites have conceded 14 goals (2.33 per game on average). The team has only scored zero goals once in that period, and that was in the cup clash with Pari NN, while the rest of the time, they have conceded at least two goals.
