CSKA Moscow will go into this encounter following a 1-0 Premier League win with the eclipse of FC Krasnodar in their last outing.

A sequence of hard-working showings from the CSKA Moscow defenders has seen their ‘goals against’ tally amounting to 4 from their past 6 fixtures combined. During the same period, their own forwards have managed to score 10. That sort of trend might not be sustained into this match, of course.

• are unbeaten in their previous 11 league matches away from home. They really have been good on their travels.

📋 Team News: Lokomotiv Moscow

There is just a single fitness concern for the Lokomotiv Moscow manager Mikhail Galaktionov to contend with from a near full-strength set of players. Ilya Samoshnikov (Injury to the ankle) is out of contention.

We are thinking that Loko could go for a 4-2-3-1 system, utilising Anton Mitryushkin, Maksim Nenakhov, Cesar Montes, Egor Pogostnov, Lucas Fasson, Dmitri Barinov, Artem Karpukas, Vadim Rakov, Aleksey Batrakov, Sergey Pinyaev and Dmitri Vorobyev.

📰 Team News: CSKA Moscow

Thanks to a largely full-strength group, there’s only the one fitness worry for the CSKA Moscow boss Marko Nikolić to be concerned about. Rodrigo Villagra (Fitness) won’t be playing here.

There’s a good chance that Armeytsy appear most likely to begin the game with a 4-4-2 lineup, starting Igor Akinfeev, Milan Gajic, D. Abdulkadyrov, Willyan Rocha, Danil Krugovoy, Ivan Oblyakov, Matvey Kislyak, Miralem Pjanic, Abbosbek Fayzullaev, Kirill Glebov and Tamerlan Musaev.

⚡ Prediction

We’re inclined to think that CSKA Moscow and Lokomotiv Moscow could both find goals hard to come by here.

It’s looking like it could well end up as a draw. We’re therefore expecting a tight encounter, finishing with a 0-0 scoreline at the end of the 90 minutes.
