Lokomotiv Moscow vs Arsenal Tula Prediction and Betting Tips (24.07.2021)

Command Analysis

Lokomotiv Moscow

Russian Federation

Lokomotiv had a very strong second half of the season when they not only returned to the European competition zone from the bottom half of the table but even joined the race for the title. However, in the end, Marko Nikolic's team finished third, getting a ticket to Europa League. Last week, Lokomotiv suffered a crushing defeat from Zenit in the Russian Super Cup match (0:3), but we can't say that they had a terrible game, just made a few mistakes in defense.

Arsenal Tula

Russian Federation

Arsenal played very poorly last season and even were in the relegation zone for a while. In the end, they managed to avoid relegation, finishing 14th - just one point above Rotor. In summer Dmitry Parfenov's team was reinforced by Zuriko Davitashvili, Ivan Novoseltsev, Igor Smolnikov, and Yevgeny Markov, who came as free agents. Danila Stepanov also joined the team on loan.

Tip and bets

1.72Handicap (+1) to Arsenal

As the Super Cup match against Zenit showed, Lokomotiv are still out of form. In such a situation, Arsenal has a chance to get points - the Gunners know how to play against the favorites and look for their chances on counterattacks. This may play a decisive role in the game. Moreover, Loko won over Arsenal with a difference of more than one goal once out of the last three games.

We believe that the guests have a chance for points. Our prediction - Asian handicap (+1) to Arsenal.

1.7Total under 2.5 goals

Lokomotiv often can't use their attacking chances. In the last five games they have not scored more than one goal. Arsenal will probably play defensively, so you shouldn't expect many goals.

Our second bet - total under 2.5 goals.
