Krasnodar, under the guidance of a new coach, has made a strong start, earning 12 points in their first four games. This indicates good teamwork and progress in their performance. Additionally, the team was able to keep three consecutive clean sheets, indicating improvement in defense. In contrast, Lokomotiv is not as strong in attack without their leading striker Dzyuba. Furthermore, the defensive actions of the away team are not as reliable, which could create problems in the match. Based on these arguments, I predict a victory for Krasnodar in this encounter.
In my prediction, I suggest using the following arguments for bets. Krasnodar is showing excellent form in the championship, not dropping any points in 4 matches and securing 4 victories. Additionally, they are playing solid defense, as seen in their matches against Orenburg (2-0) and Nizhny Novgorod (1-0). These results indicate that they are separating themselves from mid-table teams like Spartak and Dynamo and positioning themselves as serious contenders for high positions in the championship. On the other hand, Lokomotiv has not yet lived up to expectations. They suffered a defeat against CSKA with a score of 1-4 and drew with Krylia Sovetov 1-1. In their game against Samara, they did not deserve the draw as Krylia Sovetov was better in all aspects. Such fluctuation in form and lack of confidence in their games raises concerns regarding their ability to achieve a good result in the upcoming match. Taking these factors into account, I recommend betting on the Over total goals. In the current situation where Lokomotiv is struggling and Krasnodar is playing confidently, the probability of a high number of goals in the match increases. As an alternative option, one could consider betting on Krasnodar's victory or a goal from player Cordoba, who is currently in excellent form.
In this match, "Krasnodar" is hosting "Lokomotiv", and even though "Krasnodar" has had an excellent start with five wins in five matches, I believe that "Lokomotiv" is capable of spoiling their statistics and at least grabbing a point. "Lokomotiv" is currently suffering from injuries, such as Izidor and Dzyuba, but they also have young attacking players who are ready to give hope to the team. They will be motivated to show their skills and break out of the long streak of unsuccessful matches. "Krasnodar" may be the favorite, but I think that "Lokomotiv" will be able to surprise and avoid defeat. Therefore, my prediction for this match is a draw or a victory for "Lokomotiv".
I predict that both teams will score in the match between "Krasnodar" and "Lokomotiv". "Krasnodar" has shown a decent defense, conceding only one goal in four games, but still has some problems in the defense, as shown in the Russian Cup matches. "Lokomotiv" has also been scoring lately and has good attacking options with Pinyayev and Glushenkov. All this suggests that both clubs can score in this meeting. I predict a 1-1 draw as the result of the match.
In my opinion, the upcoming match promises to be exciting and unpredictable. Both teams are high-class and have strong lineups. Neither can be considered a clear favorite, which suggests that the game will be evenly contested. Looking at both teams' previous matches, it is evident that they do not lack goals. In both cases, the teams scored a lot of goals and showed high efficiency in their attacks. Additionally, both opponents also conceded goals, indicating some defensive issues. Based on these arguments, one can conclude that the likelihood of multiple goals in this match is quite high. In my view, a bet on the over 2.5 goal total would be reasonable and promising. Let's hope for an entertaining and high-scoring game from both teams.
