Lokomotiv Moskva form and stats

Lokomotiv Moskva, who have the most clean sheets (14) in Premier League, have performed here at Arena Khimki this season with 10 wins from 13 Premier League matches. Some points have been lost, as they have drawn 1 game and lost 2. Ever since the Rotor Volgograd game Lokomotiv has been unbeatable here at Arena Khimki producing six straight wins.

In their previous game, the manager M. Nikolić led his Lokomotiv to a defeat in the Premier League match away at Zenit. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Arena Khimki. A strong away win before that one, visiting Tambov and winning 5-2.

Lokomotiv were outplayed and humiliated in their previous game, as mentioned in the paragraph above. They will need to reinstall their confidence before this one. Guilherme Marinato had a busy but productive day in the Zenit match. Despite making six saves the loss could not be prevented.

This is expected to be a close game, with Lokomotiv Moskva perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Lokomotiv as a small favourite), we find four games. Lokomotiv Moskva has won one of these, drawn three and lost zero.

Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Krylya Sovetov are coming to town in four days.

A decent goal production from Lokomotiv in their home games so far, with 23 goals from 13 league matches. Lokomotiv are not conceding a lot of goals here at Arena Khimki in the league, averaging less than one per game. The total is 9 from 13 matches.
