FK Rostov vs Lokomotiv Moscow Prediction & Betting Tips (23 October)

It would be fair to say that FK Rostov have been struggling on their own patch of late, with eight of their previous ten Russian Cup fixtures ending in defeat, and they are currently on a run of four games without a goal as well. Lokomotiv Moscow had not been in great form on the road themselves prior their next match, but they had still only lost once in seven.

Somewhat incredibly, 18 of the previous 18 Lokomotiv Moscow away matches in the Russian Cup have served up over 2.5 goals, so the club from the capital have been the epitome of consistency on this particular front. Not only that, but seven of the last nine FK Rostov home games at this elite domestic level have also delivered a minimum of three successful strikes.

Over the course of their last 21 away matches in the Russian Cup, Lokomotiv Moscow have been involved in just five contests in which they have both scored and conceded during the same 91 minutes. What’s more, 13 of the previous 18 FK Rostov games at this level have seen at least one of the two sides pitch a shutout, so it would come as a surprise to see both teams score.
