1.39Tip and bets
Lokomotiv is in great shape, plays bright attacking football and scores a lot - today the "railwaymen" need only a victory and they are unlikely to deviate from their style. It is obvious that Khimki will have plenty of problems in defense and the hosts will not be left without conceding goals, but at the same time the "red-blacks" are fighting for survival, they will also take risks, their goal will not be a big sensation.
We believe that there will be goals in the match. Forecast - both will score . This bet is offered with a coefficient of 1.65
Bet on the outcome
Lokomotiv will definitely play only for victory today – there is a real chance to lead the tournament table, Krasnodar is meeting Spartak and is far from guaranteed to count on all three points in this match. Obviously, the visitors will have enough motivation and it is unlikely that Khimki in their current state will be able to give a real fight to such an opponent.
