Spartak Moscow - Lokomotiv Moscow Prediction, Picks and Taips
In some cities or regions people are excited about the derbies, because these are usually very rare. In the Russian capital there is an almost inflationary number of city duels, in which there is usually a lot. With Dynamo, CSKA, Lok and Spartak there are four top teams from Moscow in the Premier League, of which Spartak and Lok will meet in a direct duel on Sunday.
Three game days have been played in Russia in the new season and Spartak got off the starting blocks with five points and seventh place, but nothing more, especially since the opening program for the Krasno-Belye was relatively grateful. The derby against Lok is the first game of the season for Spartak.
The odds comparison of the betting base sees Spartak slightly at an advantage. In the Premier League table, Lok is a bit better and is third with seven points. With Krasnodar, the railroad workers had at least one serious opponent in front of their chests. The bottom line is that our forecast between Spartak Moscow and Lok Moscow is more in the direction of an away win.
As is usually the case with derbies, they are unpredictable. This is especially true in Moscow because the level of the four teams there is currently only marginally different. This means that between Spartak Moscow and Lok Moscow you have to be a bit lucky with your bet or you have to switch to lower odds and higher probabilities.
The small German player enclave at Spartak Moscow has been dissolved. Serdar Tasci and Andre Schürrle have turned their backs on the Russian capital. With Domenico Tedesco, however, a German coach is still responsible for the fortunes of Moscow. Under his direction, Spartak should manage to return to the European Cup.
There was practically no summer break, so we can look at the statistics across all seasons. This shows Spartak as unbeaten for five Premier League games. This means that in the derby between Spartak Moscow and Lok Moscow, odds on an away win are unlikely to be the first choice.
On Wednesday, Spartak failed to take the three points despite a strong performance at FC Ufa. Domenico Tedesco's side fell early on before Jordan Larsson missed the chance to level from the penalty spot. Ezequiel Ponce made it better after 20 minutes and already scored to make it 1-1.
In terms of personnel, everything at Spartak Moscow revolves around the transfer of king Aleksandr Kokorin these days. The ex-prisoner, who came to the capital from Zenit St. Petersburg, is still suffering from a calf injury, which will in all probability make it impossible to play in the derby against Lok Moscow.
While Spartak is striving to return to Europe, Lok Moscow wants to overthrow the reigning champion St. Petersburg from the throne. In addition, a better role is to be played in the Champions League than last season. Lok has already suffered the first bitter bankruptcy this season in the Russian Supercup against Zenit.
In the Premier League, however, things are going much better. Seven points from three games is a very good result. In addition, there has been no defeat in the league for 15 games. Lok Moscow took the last bankruptcy in the Russian upper house on St. Nicholas' Day last year. It sounds as if in the match between Spartak Moscow and Lok Moscow a prediction of a point win by the guests should be a sure thing.
During the week Marko Nikolic's team suffered their first point loss of the new season. On Wednesday Lok was a guest at FC Ural and was lucky to have taken something with him at 1: 1, because Fedor Smolov only equalized the 0: 1 deficit in the 87th minute.
A clear favorite can therefore not be identified, which also corresponds to Marko Nikolic's assessment. Lok will have to go into this open encounter on Sunday without Boris Rotenberg and Luka Djordjevic.
