It's game two of the Premier League season and everything to play for. Read our full preview of Lokomotiv Moskva-Krasnodar!

These are busy days for the home team, as they were in action only four days ago in the Premier League. At least it's nice to return home after that away game at Rubin Kazan'.

Krasnodar have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 1300 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.

Lokomotiv Moskva form and stats

Lokomotiv are confident in defense, having played 199 minutes without conceding a goal in the league.

Happy days for Lokomotiv Moskva in their previous game, a Premier League match away at Rubin Kazan' (placed 14th) that ended with a 2-0 victory. In the preceding match a 1-0 victory visiting Ural.

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams.

Our database has found four matches with the results: Won one, drawn three and lost zero.

There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Lokomotiv as they are travelling to their away game against Ural in the Premier League. That match is four days after this one.
