On August 6, the match of the 4th round of the Russian Premier League will take place, in which Krasnodar will play at home with Lokomotiv Moscow. The forecast for this match is given by the well-known commentator of Match TV Dmitry Shnyakin.
There is a bright enough signboard for this match, which can claim the status of the central one in the round. Although the standings of both teams are still unenviable – they are both in the bottom half of the RPL table, having 4 and 2 points, respectively.
The first thing that catches your eye before this match is the performance of both teams, and the championship as a whole. In three matches with the participation of Krasnodar, as many as 13 goals were scored, which makes it one of the most spectacular teams in the league. In each of their matches, the Bulls scored at least four goals in total. The main problem of the Southerners, of course, is the defensive line – Martynovich left the team, and Kayo is injured, so we have to attract young people.
Lokomotiv has identical problems after a serious injury to the team's rookie Lucas Fasson, who tore the crosses, which is why he will not play until the end of 2022. In the last round, Magkeev made a couple of moves in the center of defense, which ended with a crushing defeat from Zenit with a score of 0:5. In addition, the "railwaymen" will not be able to count on Barinov in Krasnodar, who was removed and is now forced to serve a disqualification.
Both teams can't complain about the attack. The Muscovites have Isidor, Kerk and Anton Miranchuk ahead of them. Spertsyan continues to shine in Krasnodar, Ionov is in good functional shape, he should return to the Cordoba squad, who did not play against Ural a week ago.
Dmitry Shnyakin expects, first of all, aggressive football from Krasnodar, which in recent years has consistently successfully played at home with Lokomotiv, having a 5-match winless streak, and winning more often. The expert believes that this trend will continue and at the same time the audience will see a very productive match.
