According to my analysis, there is no clear favorite in this match, making the outcome unpredictable. Both teams have strong points and are capable of showing good gameplay. However, historical data indicates that they often struggle to determine a winner in regular time. It is also worth considering that the teams may be cautious and focused, trying to avoid mistakes, which could lead to a low score. Therefore, it is likely that this match will end in a draw or with a minimal lead for one of the teams.
The Moscow derby between CSKA and Lokomotiv promises to be high-scoring. Both teams have a strong attacking potential and had high-scoring matches in the previous season. In the current season, CSKA scores an average of 2.25 goals, while Lokomotiv scores 2.75 goals. Considering their statistics and playing qualities, it is likely to see goals from both sides, making Over 2.5 goals a probable outcome.
My prediction for the match CSKA - Lokomotiv is "Lokomotiv" will not lose (X2). "Railwaymen" are in good form, not losing in their recent games. In previous meetings, the advantage is with "Lokomotiv". CSKA has problems with scoring goals and consistency. "Lokomotiv" looks more confident and may at least secure a draw in this game.
