  • Lokomotiv Moskva have not yet lost a game at home.
  • Baltika have lost all their away matches so far.

Baltika have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 1200 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.

It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Lokomotiv and Baltika.
