Command Analysis

CSKA Moscow

Current form
Andres Pistolis became the head coach of the "army men" at the end of last season. His appointment was the right decision, as under his leadership the team became champions.
CSKA did not make any significant acquisitions in the off-season. The only one that can be noted is the purchase of Alex Avramovich. His acquisition should diversify the “army men” roster and strengthen it in certain areas.
Disqualifications and injuries
Moscow CSKA has no problems with its roster.
Interesting facts for betting
It is somehow difficult for the "army men" to get into the mood for the game. As a rule, they take a long time to warm up and allow their opponents to get ahead at the start of the match. For example, this was the case in 6 of the last 10 cases. However, the CSKA players compensated for all this in the following segments of the match.
Estimated lineup : Trimble - M'Baye, Avramovich - Jean-Charles, Kurbanov.

Lokomotiv Kuban

Current form
Last season, Krasnodar failed to make it into the top three teams in the league. This failure forced the team management to restructure. Among the acquisitions, it is worth noting Whaley, Johnson and Cleveland. The coaching staff of Lokomotiv-Kuban has high hopes for these players.
It is not known what to expect from the team, but there is no doubt that the Krasnodar team has the highest goals.
Disqualifications and injuries
Lokomotiv-Kuban has no problems with its roster.
Interesting facts for betting
Lokomotiv-Kuban has always been famous for its aggressive and bright game. The Krasnodar team paid more attention to the attack, so their matches were productive. On average, the team scored more than 80 points and even changes in the lineup are unlikely to change anything. Everything indicates that Lokomotiv-Kuban will once again play brightly in attack.
Projected lineup : Cleveland - Kosko, Johnson - White, Whaley.
