Command Analysis
CSKA Moscow
Russian FederationCurrent form
CSKA changed its coach in the summer and strengthened its team in specific ways – it is unlikely that the current selection of players allows Marko Nikolic to set the team maximum goals, but the “army men” are certainly counting on finishing in the top three. CSKA started with a goalless draw against Rostov away, showing good football, but clearly did not play to win in that match.
In the matches with Pari NN (3:0) and Orenburg (5:1) CSKA was extremely convincing, the opponents were certainly inferior in class and were not in the best shape, but it is certainly worth giving credit to the game of the "army men". There was an excellent chance in the last round to extend the successful series, but in added time Krasnodar scored the winning goal - the 1:2 defeat was the first in the championship.
CSKA" target="_blank">https://www.pfc-cska.com/">CSKA has already played two matches in the Russian Cup. In the first of them, the "army men" lost 0:1 to "Krasnodar" away, playing with a less than competitive lineup. During the week, Marko Nikolic's charges drew 1:1 with "Pari NN" at home in regular time, but then turned out to be stronger in the penalty shootout. Thus, with two points, CSKA currently occupies third place in its group.

Lokomotiv Moscow
Russian FederationCurrent form
Lokomotiv, like its current opponent, did not conduct a powerful transfer campaign and is unlikely to have the opportunity to count on anything more than third place - even such a task with the current selection of players is extremely ambitious. However, the "railwaymen" are conducting the starting segment at a high level and demonstrating the ability to fight for medals.
In the championship " target="_blank">https://www.fclm.ru/"> Lokomotiv won three times in four rounds, leaving no chance for Akron (3:2), Akhmat (5:0) and Makhachkala Dynamo (2:0). The only defeat in the Premier League was suffered by the Railwaymen in the derby against Dynamo, losing to the White-Blues 1:3 without much of a chance. For now, Lokomotiv is in third place in the table with nine points, three points behind the leader Zenit.
During the week, Lokomotiv won 3-2 away from home in the Cup against Orenburg. The Railwaymen did not play with their main lineup, but they looked more than solid in the game. This is Lokomotiv's second victory in the group, thanks to which they managed to secure their place as the leader of the quartet; in the first round, Rostov was beaten 1-0.

2.55Tip and bets
CSKA has not won in the last two matches, but overall the coach is unlikely to have any serious questions about the team's performance - the "army men" are not yet able to jump above their level, but they are not falling below it either. The hosts have no problems with the implementation and creation of moments, but at the same time, mistakes in defense take place - in none of the last three matches has CSKA remained dry. In the last three face-to-face meetings the teams exchanged goals, the tradition will certainly continue.
We believe that there will be goals in the match. Betting Tip - both will score . This bet is offered with a coefficient of 1.65
Bet on the outcome
CSKA, from the bookmakers' point of view, is the favorite for the derby - the "army men" are in good shape, they have not lost to their opponents in head-to-head meetings in five matches in a row. However, Lokomotiv has recently gained a very strong momentum, has a quality reserve, shows high-level football and knows how to play second fiddle - the "railwaymen" are quite capable of clinging to a draw.
Bet - Lokomotiv will not lose. This outcome is offered for 1.75
Combined rate
CSKA and Lokomotiv are approaching the derby in excellent shape – the Army Men have not had everything going well in recent matches, but the team has looked decent in terms of play, and Lokomotiv has won four games in a row. In such a situation, the probability of a draw is as high as ever, both teams have their trump cards in attack and it is unlikely that this draw will end in a clean sheet.
Bet - a productive draw. This bet is offered with odds of 4.55
