Command Analysis
Spartak Moscow
Russian FederationCurrent form
Before the start of the season, Spartak was among the contenders for the championship title – in terms of player selection, Dejan Stankovic’s team was second only to Zenit, and in the summer they managed to conduct a very solid transfer campaign. However, already in the first round, the Red-Whites suffered a defeat in the confrontation with Orenburg – in a match where, by all accounts, they should have won the maximum.
This mistake in the first round was far from the only one, https://spartak.com/>Spartak lost a lot of points literally out of nowhere and already in the first half of the championship seriously lagged behind the competitors. At the moment, the "red-whites" occupy the fifth place in the table with 28 points in the asset and are nine points behind the leader Krasnodar, Zenit has eight points more.
In the last rounds, Spartak managed to step up and put victories on stream - it is still too early to consider Spartak as contenders for the title, but the situation is not hopeless. Having beaten Akron at home with a score of 4:0 before the break for national team games, Spartak secured its third victory in a row in the championship, and such a breakthrough allows us to count on success at the end of the season, if there is enough stability.

Lokomotiv Moscow
Russian FederationCurrent form
Before the start of the season, Lokomotiv was not among the contenders for the championship title – Mikhail Galaktionov’s team had lost a number of important players and in such a situation, it was unlikely that they could count on anything more than a place in the top three. However, the “railwaymen” had a very strong start and played at a high level throughout the first round, demonstrating their readiness to fight for the gold.
At the moment, https://www.fclm.ru/>Lokomotiv is third in the table, with 34 points. There is a modest three-point gap from leader Krasnodar, while second-placed Zenit has two more. At the bottom, Dynamo and Spartak are seriously pressing, and a defeat in today match could not only complicate the situation in the fight for the title, but also threaten a place in the top three.
After several unimpressive matches in October, Lokomotiv came to their senses in the last rounds. After a modest and very difficult 1:0 victory over Rubin in the 14th round, the Railwaymen beat Fakel 2:1 in the last match of the championship, securing their second victory in a row. Between these matches, Lokomotiv beat Dynamo 2:1 in the Cup, so it seems that they have managed to overcome a small slump.

2.25Tip and bets
Spartak has improved recently and after three victories in a row has come very close to the top four. It is obvious that today the Red-Whites will make every effort to continue moving up the table and go into the winter break in the top four. Spartak is very effective in attack, and Lokomotiv defense is unlikely to be a problem for them, but at the same time the Railwaymen also have their trump cards up front - less than four goals have not been scored in the last two derbies, and today match will most likely be productive.
We believe that the match will be productive. Forecast -total over three goals . This bet is offered with odds of 2.39
Bet on the outcome
Spartak has not given up a single point to Lokomotiv in its last three home games, and today it will clearly be determined to extend this streak. However, despite three wins in a row, the Red-Whites' play cannot be called flawless; there have been problems with stability in recent years. Lokomotiv has also been more than convincing in recent games and left Spartak no chance in the first round, but is also prone to mistakes - a draw in such a match looks like a very promising bet.
Bet - Draw. This bet is offered for 3.60
Bet on corners
The tournament position and the status of the host oblige Spartak to play first number and spend a lot of time in attacks, but at the same time Lokomotiv is quite capable of responding - there should be a lot of corners.
Bet - total over 9.5 corners. This bet is offered for 1.61
