Team Form and Analysis
Spartak Moskva
The 'Red-Whites,' despite their instability in the league, look confident in the Russian Cup, especially at home. Dejan Stanković's side finished first in their group, ahead of Dynamo Makhachkala. However, Spartak has significant personnel problems in defense, with Srdjan Babić and Aleksandr Dzhikiya missing the match due to injury. Nevertheless, Spartak is unbeaten at home in their last four matches, securing three wins.
Lokomotiv Moskva
The 'Railwaymen,' under Mikhail Galaktionov, have shown consistent results, losing only 1 of their last 17 matches. The team performs successfully away from home, having lost only once in their last 9 away games. Loko has been prolific on the road, scoring 2 or more goals in 8 of their last 10 away matches. However, the 'Railwaymen' also have personnel losses: Dmitry Vorobyov and Sergey Pinyaev are injured.
Predicted Starting Lineups
Official lineups will be confirmed one hour before kick-off.
- Spartak (4-3-3): Pomazun; Zobnin, Vu, Litvinov, Ryabchuk; Prutsev, Umyarov, Martins; Zinkovskiy, Sobolev, Bongonda.
- Lokomotiv (4-2-3-1): Lantratov; Nenakhov, Morozov, Kuzmichev, Samoshnikov; Barinov, Karpukas; Zhamaletdinov, Miranchuk, Glushenkov; Suleymanov.
Match Prediction by tutsport.net
Despite Lokomotiv's recent dip, it is the 'Railwaymen' who look like slight favorites in this derby. Their overall consistency throughout the season and Spartak's defensive problems could be decisive factors. However, Spartak traditionally plays well against Loko at home and will be extremely motivated.
- Main Prediction: Both teams to score. The last four head-to-head meetings between these teams have ended with both sides finding the net and have been very high-scoring. Given the attacking potential of both sides and their defensive issues, this outcome seems highly likely.
- Total Goals Prediction: Over 2.5 Goals. Recent head-to-head matches between the teams have consistently been 'over,' with 30 goals scored in the last six encounters. There is every reason to believe that this game will be no exception.
