Our Expert Predictions & Analysis on Ural vs Lokomotiv

Ural

Ural is in an extremely difficult situation, the team invariably loses its fourth match in a row in the Premier League. Because of this, Viktor Goncharenko’s team lost a significant number of positions; now the Orange-and-Blacks find themselves in 13th place in the standings, which threatens them with a possible relegation. Only in the Russian Cup have the “bumblebees” managed to maintain a good pace so far; in the 1/16 finals, the team broke the resistance of the Motherland 2:1 on penalties on the road. Kashtanov scored a goal in regulation time for the Urals.

Ural cannot win in the last 4 official meetings.

Lokomotiv

Lokomotiv hasn't had any great results this season; the team has begun to crumble on all fronts. In the Russian Premier League, Mikhail Galaktionov’s guys are not currently in the Top; the team is on the fifth step in the standings, 8 points behind the leader. In the National Cup, things weren’t going smoothly for the “railroad workers” either; the team was eliminated from the 1/4 finals of the main draw, losing at home to Kaliningrad Baltika 1:2 on penalties. Tiknizyan turned out to be the author of the only goal for the “red-greens”.

In 2024, the railroad workers have not yet won.

Game Totals Prediction

The Urals continue to collapse, the team is now, by and large, not up to the cup, they need to fight to maintain their registration in the RPL. After the winter break, the locomotive cannot gain momentum, which does not prevent the “railroad workers” from remaining in the fight for medals. Both teams are not in the best shape right now, but if we take into account the class of players and the importance of the cup for the clubs, then the Muscovites stand out: Lokomotiv’s win – 2.55.
