CSKA
CSKA spends the summer season having global problems with the lineup, so Vladimir Fedotov must actively attract young people to the team. Nevertheless, the results could be better. In the opening round of the Premier League, they lost to Ural - 1:2. But they got a convincing victory in the cup match against Orenburg – 6:0. CSKA managed to take away three points from Grozny last weekend when they beat Akhmat 3:2 in a theatrical and emotional game.
Lokomotiv
In the spring, Lokomotiv began to show good results, aiming for high places in the new season. In the championship's opening round, Mikhail Galaktionov's wards lost two points in the battle with Rubin – 2:2. Even in this confrontation, Lokomotiv looked stable, creating many chances in attack, followed by a cup victory over Ural – 2:1.
Expert Betting Tips
CSKA and Lokomotiv have made an excellent start to the current season, while the last one's status seems much more solid. Suppose Lokomotiv has Maxim Glushenkov, Anton Miranchuk, Vladislav Sarveli, and Wilson Isidor in the rotation. In that case, CSKA has stable youth in reserve, which is not enough. The wards of Mikhail Galaktionov should use it to succeed.
CSKA and Lokomotiv show highly effective and spectacular matches. In the last three CSKA games, they scored 14 goals (4.67 per game), and Lokomotiv scored and conceded 12 goals (4.00 per game).
