Team News

Lokomotiv Moscow
Spartak Moscow
  • Russian defender Evgeny Morozov has been recovering from a recent injury and is a doubt for the weekend derby.
  • Defender Lucas Fasson remains sidelined due to a long-term injury and will not feature here.
  • Defender Nikita Chernov is being treated for a metatarsal fracture and will only return to action in November.
  • Forward Willian José missed the last couple of matches due to a recent injury and is a doubt for the upcoming visit to Cherkizovo.
  • Marquinhos’ father passed away last week and the winger travelled to Brazil to be with his family during this difficult time. He might not return in time for the upcoming Moscow derby.

Prediction

  • Lokomotiv pulled off a solid win at Nizhny Novgorod last time out and are only two points behind league leaders’ FC Zenit after nine matches. The Railroaders won five of their last six matches.
  • Spartak conceded a last minute draw against Dynamo, but managed to extend their undefeated run to eight league matches. In fact, Spartak have only lost the first match of the season.
  • The upcoming Moscow derby at Cherkizovo will surely be a close one and it might end in a draw.
