Olimpiyets - Lokomotiv Moskva predictions

The hosts will have little to hope for in this match. The betting odds work against them and so does the overall impression. They are a weaker side here and it would be a proper upset if they manage to beat Lokomotiv Moskva.

We are most likely going to see this match being won by Lokomotiv Moskva. They have a solid advantage over their opponents – at least according to the betting odds. That said, we’ve definitely seen much bigger surprises in the Premier League but such a scenario is not entirely likely in this fixture.

Olimpiyets managed to hold the line against Krylya Sovetov throughout the first half of their previous away game. They didn’t have nearly as much luck in the second, however, and their defence crumbled against the superior opposition, which all resulted in a 2:0 defeat.

The 1:2 away win Lokomotiv Moskva snagged last round caught most bookies by surprise. According to the game’s prematch betting odds, they were at a severe disadvantage and didn’t stand much of a match. Despite all of that, they took the lead early and went on to narrowly win the showdown.

A quick look at the previous season’s match history makes the 1.72 odds for an away win quite understandable. Lokomotiv Moskva handily beat Olimpiyets on multiple occasions, decisively proving to be the favourites in this matchup.

Both teams will have a complete lineup for an exciting showdown, thanks to the absence of injuries or suspensions.
