Insights:
  • Lokomotiv Moskva is in the best form (4-2-0) in Premier League
  • Torpedo Moskva have the fewest scored goals (21) in Premier League

Lokomotiv are staying put; they can neither be promoted or relegated this season and are fighting only for positions. Torpedo Moskva are nearing the end of this stay in this division as relegation is now unavoidable. 11-8-13 (wins/draws/losses). These are the numbers for Torpedo Moskva when playing away games on grass, which is not the surface they have on their own home stadium (which has artifical turf). Their goal statistics from those 32 matches are 37-42 (scored/conceded).

These teams are so close in distance that this match is special, a derby with local pride the main prize.

Lokomotiv Moskva and Torpedo Moskva should both be in good shape for this meeting, as there's been enough days for both of them to train and rest since their last matches.

Torpedo Moskva form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Torpedo Moskva so far with only 6 points returning home. The records show 1-3-10 (win-draw-lose). Football is a nightmare at the moment for Torpedo Moskva who have suffered through a seven match losing streak. If there's light at the end of the tunnel it's certainly not visible for the supporters.

This fixture can not go any worse than the previous one, the home defeat versus Orenburg with 1-3 on the scoreboard. The attacker Reyna got a match rating of 7.04 in that game. Reyna dribled past the opponent 2 of 3 times.

A loss against Dinamo Moskva was the result prior to that, in a home game.

Take note that 9 of this club's 10 most recent league rounds have ended with three or more goals.

The attacking power of Torpedo Moskva when travelling is not overwhelming with 12 goals scored from 14 league matches away.

Head 2 Head

Lokomotiv have put together a sequence of 5 consecutive matches without losing (4-1-0) when facing Torpedo Moskva.

Torpedo Moskva - Lokomotiv Moskva 0-1 was the product when these two sides last met, earlier this season.
