Fakel VoronezhCSKA looks motivated and ready to fight for victory in the Russian Cup, demonstrating a high quality of play. Lokomotiv, although starting the season successfully, tends to rotate the squad and may have potential losses in concentration. Considering the successful start to the season and the desire to confirm their strength, CSKA has physical and tactical advantages over Lokomotiv. Prediction: CSKA to win.
In the match between CSKA and Lokomotiv, a dry game with a low total is expected. Both teams are likely to field reserve squads due to upcoming important games.

Based on these factors, we can expect few goals in the match, possibly with one team winning by a score of 1-0 or 2-0.
