Orenburg - Lokomotiv Moskva predictions

Orenburg are not exactly firm favourites to register three points in this game but we still believe they will manage to defeat Lokomotiv Moskva. The odds of 2.22 might sound a bit risky but we still trust hosts can come out on top in the end.

The visitors understand the difficulty of the task at hand. To beat Orenburg on their own turf would be a major feat, and it is always a tough challenge.

Orenburg performed quite well in the previous round, as was expected of them. They were facing Krylya Sovetov in a largely favourable home game and quickly managed to snatch the lead. Their dominance continued all the way to the final whistle, ultimately resulting in a 2:1 score.

The away team are coming on the back of a 1:0 home win. The showdown against Rostov was not the easiest of matchups, but they confidently maintained a lead throughout the runtime, displaying the solid form.

Orenburg’s form is fairly strong when it comes to offense – they netted 6 goals in the last three away games.

Lokomotiv Moskva can’t really boast a great record when it comes to playing as visitors. They conceded upwards of 5 goals in their most recent 3 away games. Considering they’re heading into another away game, that’s cause for concern.

It will be interesting to see if Lokomotiv Moskva manage to beat this odds in this, the second clash with Orenburg this season. The first time around they lost with to a 1-point difference.

This Sunday, both teams will have a full roster available to them, thanks to the absence of injuries or suspensions.
