Khimki vs Lokomotiv: prediction for the Russian Premier League fixture
Khimki cannot win for seven games in a row. Will Lokomotiv take advantage of the opponent's crisis on September 25? Our answer is in the prediction below.

Command Analysis

Khimki

Khimki are having a very weak season. Igor Cherevchenko's team is currently in the penultimate place in the Russian Premier League table. The Red-Blacks lose to Arsenal Tula and Rostov on goal difference, and the safe 12th line is two points away. This means Khimki can still solve their problems and avoid relegation. Last week Khimki got a 1:1 draw with Saransk in the Russian Cup and then were knocked out in a penalty shootout.

Lokomotiv Moscow

Lokomotiv are having a solid season. Marko Nikolic's team is on the third line in the table. The Red-Greens are four points behind Zenit, which means they can still catch up with the leaders of the Russian Premier League. In the last round, Lokomotiv scored a goalless draw with Ural in Yekaterinburg, thus extending the unbeaten streak to nine games across all tournaments.

Loko should take advantage of that and get a victory in Khimki. These three points can help them secure a place in the Top 3.
Our prediction - Lokomotiv to win
Lokomotiv aren't an attacking team, but they regularly use their chances and score; Khimki's defense shouldn't become a problem for the Red-Greens. But at the same time, the Red-Blacks are a strong home team, and they will not leave the pitch without scoring a goal.
