By Peter Guest, FootballPredictions.NET, 12:48 18/05/2025

The Premier League fixture at RZD Arena on Monday sees home side Lokomotiv Moscow take on opponents CSKA Moscow, and our team has the latest predicted line ups and news on player availability.

Lokomotiv Moscow are hoping to win again after their last result, the 0-1 Premier League victory over Fakel Voronezh. We are thinking that Loko could make use of the 4-2-3-1 system for this game featuring Anton Mitryushkin, Maksim Nenakhov, Cesar Montes, Egor Pogostnov, Lucas Fasson, Dmitri Barinov, Artem Karpukas, Vadim Rakov, Aleksey Batrakov, Sergey Pinyaev and Dmitri Vorobyev.

It’s a low absenteeism rate, with just the lone fitness concern for the Lokomotiv Moscow manager Mikhail Galaktionov to contend with due to a largely intact set of players. Ilya Samoshnikov won’t play.

Possible Lokomotiv Moscow team against CSKA Moscow

CSKA Moscow go into this match following a 1-0 Premier League win in the defeat of FC Krasnodar in their previous fixture. We’re of the thinking that Armeytsy could decide to make use of a 4-4-2 formation using Igor Akinfeev, Milan Gajic, D. Abdulkadyrov, Willyan Rocha, Danil Krugovoy, Ivan Oblyakov, Matvey Kislyak, Miralem Pjanic, Abbosbek Fayzullaev, Kirill Glebov and Tamerlan Musaev.

Thanks to a largely available group of players, there is just the one fitness worry for the CSKA Moscow gaffer Marko Nikolić to be concerned about. Rodrigo Villagra (Fitness) won’t be in action.
