Ural vs Lokomotiv: prediction for the Russian Premier League match
Ural have not yet won in this season. Will Lokomotiv take advantage of the opponent's crisis on September 20? Our answer is in the prediction below.
Command Analysis
Ural
Russian FederationUral have started the season poorly. After seven rounds, Igor Shalimov's team sits at the bottom of the table. The Bumblebees are four points away from the zone of transitional matches, and the 12th line is six points away.
In the last round, Ural lost to Rubin with a devastating score of 0:4. That defeat extended the team's winless streak to eight matches, five of which the Bumblebees lost. Under Shalimov so far Ural have scored only one point in four matches.
Lokomotiv Moscow
Russian FederationLokomotiv are having a solid season. Marko Nikolic's team is currently on the third line in the table. The Red-Greens are two points behind the league leaders, and they lose the second line to Sochi only on goal difference. The 2:0 victory over Krylya Sovetov in the last round extended the team's unbeaten streak to nine Premier League matches.
Last week Lokomotiv made a decent start in the Europa League. In a difficult home game against Marseilles, they managed to get a 1:1 draw. Loko were left shorthanded after Nair Tiknizyan got a red card, and Marseilles scored a penalty. But Lokomotiv remain composed and leveled the score. The best player for Lokomotiv was Faustino Anjorin.

Tip and bets
Lokomotiv had a weak game against Marseille in the Europa League, but they still managed to get an acceptable result and extended the unbeaten streak to eight matches across all tournaments. Today they will expect to earn three points to keep their spot in the Champions League zone. Ural, on the other hand, are in a deep crisis, and we don't think they can put up a good fight.
Our prediction -Lokomotiv to win
Lokomotiv are the undisputed favourite here. The Red-Greens are in excellent shape, have experience and class advantage on their side. However, we believe they will not crush the hosts: look will be tired after the Europa League game. Ural will try to park the bus and it will be challenging to get through their defenses.
Second wager - Lokomotiv to win by 1 goal
