Lokomotiv Moskva form and stats
4 victories, 1 draw and 2 defeats. That’s what Lokomotiv Moskva have to build on here at RZD Arena in the Premier League.
The fans are hoping that Lokomotiv will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 1-3 away loss in the Premier League game against Arsenal Tula (placed 13th). Pablo was "man of the match" with a rating of 7.85 out of 10. The defender Pablo scored one goal and won 6 of 8 duels.
Before that game, the home loss against Lazio with the scoreline 0-3.The betting market estimate that the home team has about 55-60% chance of winning this match. There could be betting value if you think differently, so to help you here are the stats from Lokomotiv's earlier matches at home being 55%-60% favourite: Played one game, won one match, drawn zero and lost zero.
A decent goal production from Lokomotiv in their home games so far, with 12 goals from 7 league matches. On the other hand, Lokomotiv have conceded 8 goals.
Ural form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Ural so far with only 5 points returning home. The records show 1-2-4 (win-draw-lose). Ural has showed their ability to avoid defeat with four draws in a row, but are also dodging victories. They last avoided the draw 41 days ago, in the Akhmat Grozny fixture.
Ural's last game was the home draw against Sochi (1-1). Eric Bicfalvi, attacking player, was the top performer on the team in that game, scoring a match rating of 8.31. Bicfalvi served one assist, hit four key passes and dribled past the opponent 2 of 4 times.
A 1-1 draw at Krylya Sovetov's stadium before that.As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and Ural playing away, we found five games. Results were zero away wins, three draws and two home wins.
There's been a serious shortage of goals from Ural's away games in the league this season with only 2 goals from 7 matches. As opposed to that, Ural have seen the ball go into their own net 9 times on the road.
