Lokomotiv is in excellent form, and their forward Aleksey Batrakov is the league's top scorer with 10 goals. The team displays a vibrant attacking style, having scored 11 goals in their last 5 games. However, they have defensive issues, having often conceded against Zenit in recent head-to-head matches. The visitors will be without defender César Montes due to suspension.
