Khimki delivered a 0-5 scoreline vs Lokomotiv Moskva in their previous game, a game to learn from. The next job is this bright CSKA Moskva team.

Insights:
  • Khimki is in the worst form (0-1-5)
  • CSKA Moskva have scored at least twice as many goals as they have conceded.

It's no vacation for neither Khimki nor CSKA Moskva as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
