Rostov - Lokomotiv Moskva predictions

Rostov will have to fight an uphill battle to win this match. They are the underdogs of the matchup – though Lokomotiv Moskva don’t have a huge advantage. Still, with the 2.72 odds on a home win, things may get a bit dicey.

While Lokomotiv Moskva may manage to claw their way to a win yet, it will be quite a struggle. As we can see thanks to the 2.72 betting odds for an away win, the odds are stacked against them – though it’s still manageable.

Both bookmakers and tipsters gave Rostov a decent shot at winning their most recent Premier League bout despite the home-field disadvantage. However, the game was a disaster for them from kick-off to finish, and the 2:0 defeat will cost their campaign quite a bit.

Lokomotiv Moskva are coming off of a minor success, relatively speaking. They secured a 1:1 draw against Krasnodar, who were tagged as hard favourites going in, but never managed to pull ahead.

Rostov’s previous 5 games all featured two goals or less on the scoreboard. A successful Over 2.5 Goals bet seems very unlikely, based on past performances.

The lack of home-field advantage doesn’t seem to take the fight out of Lokomotiv Moskva. They’ve scored more than 5 times in their previous 3 away games and are bound to put a fight as they travel to face Rostov.

We already saw these two squads meet this season, but the results were inconclusive. Lokomotiv Moskva wasted the opportunity home-field advantage game them, but they’re still considered the favourites in this match.

An Under 2.5 Goals bet is an easy tip to offer – it’s a fairly probable outcome with betting odds priced at a comfortable 1. More importantly, though, the betting value it offers is surprisingly solid.
