Lokomotiv Moskva - Krylya Sovetov predictions

It’s easy to point out Lokomotiv Moskva as the clear favourites, but we wouldn’t call this match completely one-sided. The hosts are definitely more likely to win between the two, but a tie game is another possibility. An away win would be quite a surprise, but we’ve seen bigger upsets.

Considering what they’re up against, Krylya Sovetov can’t set their ambitions too high in this match. Playing as visitors at odds of 5.14 for an away win, calling them underdogs seems like an understatement.

Lokomotiv Moskva had a lot going for them in the previous round of the Premier League, yet failed to carve out anything better than a draw. Considering the home-field advantage and their status as favourites in that matchup, they can’t be too happy about the outcome.

The 0:6 result of Krylya Sovetov’s home match against Krasnodar was expected by most online sportsbooks. Krylya Sovetov were clear underdogs at the start of the game, and it quickly went south for them.

The hosts will be looking to cut down on the number of goals they concede. They’ve recorded more than 5 total concessions over the last 3 matches, which is usually a cause for concern.

With 7 goals in their own net over the last 3 fixtures, Krylya Sovetov's backline has much to be wished for

The $ODDS odds on a home win are hard to trust with last season’s harsh defeat still fresh in our memories. The fact that Krylya Sovetov won that clash was a surprise in its own right – the goal difference was even less expected.

Fortunately, both teams will have a complete lineup this Sunday, with no players out due to injury or suspension.

Despite the risks involved, the strongest prediction in terms of value is an HT/FT bet that the hosts will take lead in the second half. It’s as risky as you might expect, though the 1.63 odds offer a decent return.
