Lokomotiv Moscow vs CSKA Moscow Prediction & Betting tips
The Russian Premier League will start the new season this coming weekend. But before that on Friday (27.07.) The football supercup will take place between the champion and the cup winner. This is now nothing, because the planned match between champion Lokomotiv Moscow and Cup winner Tosno was canceled because the FK Tosno was temporarily dissolved due to a financial imbalance. Vice-champion CSKA Moscow is taking the place of the Cup winner, so that not only the Russians can look forward to a real blast game between the two leading clubs of the Premier League.
The favorite question is difficult to answer here. First of all, no team can enjoy the home advantage, as the game will be played at Nizhny Novgorod (former World Cup), about 500 km away. In addition, both teams completed a rather average preparation with ups and downs. Although at the end of last season we saw slight advantages in CSKA, we expect to see a point difference in the regular season for the Supercup at Lokomotiv Moscow against CSKA Moscow and recommend a draw for a draw, which we, however, in the case of the victory of CSKA to secure. Appropriate Away no bet bets on a draw are offered by Bet-at-home.com at highest odds down to 2.08. However, we recommend restraint when using it, as it is the first competitive match in Russia after the summer break.
Locomotive Moscow:
Lokomotiv Moscow celebrated after the trophy successes in the years 2015 and 2017 in the last season finally the long-awaited third championship. However, Loko whistled in the season finale almost from the last hole and belonged with only five points from the last five games by far the worst team in the Premier League (1-2-2). Nevertheless, it was enough to finish with eighteen wins, six draws and six defeats, a goal difference of 41:21 and sixty points for the place at the top of the table.
The preparation for the Supercup and the title defense in the Premier League is a reflection of the season finale. So it was enough both against the Austrian regional league Austria Klagenfurt (1: 1), as well as against the Croatian first division club NK Osijek (0: 0) and the Austrian first division Wolfsberger AC (0: 0) each only to a draw. Then it went against the Dutch first division Vitesse Arnhem a 0-3 clap, before the Turkish first division club Akhisar Belediyespor the first test game success succeeded. However, to restrict the 2-1 victory, it must be mentioned that the Turks have only recently started to prepare and not like Lokomotiv Moscow just before the first competitive game of the new season.
CSKA Moscow:
CSKA Moscow narrowly missed the championship in the last season. After an outstanding catch-up in the season finale, only two points or one more game were missing in the end. Because while the eventual champions had already fallen into a performance hole, the team of head coach Wiktar Hantscharenka once again turned the spotlight and made a total of eight points on the leader in the last five games (4-1-0). In the end, the record of seventeen wins, seven draws and six defeats, the goal difference of 49:23 and fifty-eight points but only for the runner-up, but at least entitled to participate in the Champions League (group stage).
CSKA Moscow has not yet been able to build on its top performances at the end of the season. So followed by a 1-1 draw against the Austrian first division side Admira Wacker, first two defeats against the Danish first division club FC Copenhagen (1: 4) and the Hamburg sports club (0: 1), who in the last season known to relegation to the 2nd Bundesliga could not avoid. The first test game success was then something surprising against Besiktas Istanbul. Against the fourth of the Turkish Süper Lig, the Russians could turn an early backlog and win the game clearly 4-1 at the end. Against Yenisy (promoted to the Russian Premier League) it was enough in the final test then again only to a 1-1 draw.
