Lokomotiv Moscow vs Galatasaray Prediction & Betting tips
Game between teams in need is what awaits us on Wednesday at the RZD Arena in Moscow, when for the Group D of the UEFA Champions League, the Russian champion Lokomotiv Moscow receives the visit of the Turkish champion Galatasaray.
Lokomotiv Moscow:
Things are not coming to Yury Semin this season, so the Lokomotiv Moscow team comes from losing at home 1-2 against Ural and with it they added their second game without victories for the Premier League Russia and the third game without winning in the general plan where we include the 4-1 defeat in his visit to FC Porto for the UEFA Champions League.
Thus at this time the current Russian champion is located in the fourth box of the Russian Premier League with 25 points, nine points away from Zenit St. Petersburg, so we see it very difficult to repeat the title.
And for a change this irregularity has been transferred to his participation in the UEFA Champions League where he has lost his four games and three of them with goals scored, as was the 3-1 in the debut just before Galatasaray, 1-3 at home against FC Oporto and then 4-1 on Portuguese soil, making clear the thick defensive errors that the team has been going through, although they still aspire on Wednesday to add a victory and thus cut the distance to a point of the third that at the moment it belongs to the Turkish team and thus to a point of them, with which the option to continue in UEFA competition would be latent.
Galatasaray:
For its part, the performance of Fatih Terim directed is somewhat similar, Galatasaray comes to draw at home to a goal against Konyaspor and thus went three points behind the Turkish Super Lig in the first place it is occupied by Istanbul Basaksehir, but in short the difference is short and there are still chances that Galata can turn history and return to raise the crown in Turkish football.
What is worrying, is that Galatasaray has struggled to get victories in this last few days and so they only have one victory in their last seven games and that is worrying because if they want to continue in the UEFA Champions League they have to cut that difference. four points that Schalke 04 has taken that is the second in the standings.
And remember that Galata has also struggled to get victories in its four games for the Champions League, being the only one achieved in his game just before Lokomotiv and this Wednesday are willing to repeat the story.
