On July 24, there will be a match in the Russian Premier League between Lokomotiv and Arsenal. Maxim Kalinichenko, a former football player of Spartak Moscow, offers his forecast for this match.
The Railwaymen, who, to put it mildly, did not play very well in the Super Cup, are hosting the Tula club, which is being rebuilt once again. Arsenal have recently lost their loaned players again. It is interesting to see what state Parfenov's team is in now.
At Lokomotiv, of course, the composition is more masterful, more played. But still, it's only the beginning of the season now – the time when teams like Arsenal can score extra points somewhere. After all, the better you start the championship, the easier it will be for you to finish it later. Last season proved this rule, when the Tulyaks barely kept their registration in the RPL.
Kalinichenko puts on the victory of "Locomotive", and with a minus handicap of one ball.
