Receiving guests at their own home feels secure and nice for Khimki, but Lokomotiv Moskva are fully bent and qualified to win this one. What will the score be?

Insights:
  • Khimki have yet to win a game at home.
  • Lokomotiv Moskva have the most points from losing position (8) in Premier League

These are hectic days for the hometeam, as they had a match only three days ago in the Russian Cup. At least it's nice to return home after that away game at Saransk.

Khimki form and stats

Khimki have collected 3 points from their Premier League home games so far after 0-3-1. Three draws in a row here at Arena Khimki for Khimki, who might be willing to risk more at some point in hope of a win.

Khimki travelled for their previous game, a trip to Saransk (after extra-time, 6-5 on penalties) that ended 1-1.

Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Ufa (2-3).

The Khimki fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 4 in 4 matches. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Khimki defense is not exactly impregnable. 6 goals conceded from 4 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.

Lokomotiv Moskva form and stats

As the visiting team in Premier League matches, Lokomotiv Moskva have produced an overall stat of 1-3-0 so far. It's three draws from Lokomotiv's last three away games, a decent catch but one that could be so much better.

The Lokomotiv Moskva goalkeeper Guilherme Alvim Marinato is collecting clean sheets like a laundry worker. It's been 229 league minutes without conceding a goal, and counting.

It's another away game for the visitors, as they travelled to Ural (placed 16th) in their previous outing. The Premier League match ended in a draw 0-0. Defender Nayair Tiknizyan was the best team player with a rating of 7.83. Tiknizyan hit three key passes and won 5 of 7 duels.

A draw for Lokomotiv Moskva before that, at their own venue hosting Olympique Marseille (1-1).

Lokomotiv have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 4 league away games 4 goals have been scored. It's not easy to score on Lokomotiv as they have only conceded 3 goals from these away games.
