Rubin - Lokomotiv Moskva
Rubin - Lokomotiv Moskva
Two teams with ambitions for a place at the head of the Russian championship - Rubin Kazan and Lokomotiv Moscow, face each other in a match of the 12th round of Russian Premier League. The match is Monday, October 31, at 18:30 at the stadium "Kazan Arena".
Current status of the two teams, however, is not good, since the hosts are on 10th place with 12 points, as has their upcoming opponent, who is 13th.
Rubin has achieved success jaded Cup of Russia in midweek over SKA (Khabarovsk) 1: 0 after extra time. So they returned to winning ways after losing Terek 1: 3 last round. Rubin played very strong at home in the last month and a half. They are a series of four consecutive victories at home - three in the league and a Cup, conceded just two goals and their fans hope for new progress Monday against a serious rival.
Lokomotiv Moscow also achieved success in the Cup of Russia after outplaying one of the weakest teams in the Premier League - Krylya Sovetov 3: 1. It was the second consecutive victory for citizens of the capital, having previously won 1: 0 over city rival and contender for the title - CSKA.
Moksva Lokomotiv are unbeaten in three consecutive league games, but have registered only two wins of the season and most games give them a regular position in the second half of the standings. This is quite surprising given the fact that the composition of the team impress names Corluka, Denisov, Manuel Fernandez, etc. I believe that very soon the team of visitors will rise and you will find a place in the top six of the standings, but must first do well during his visit to Rubin.
Traditionally, both teams exchanged wins in home games lately, but the confrontation think it's very possible to battle ends in a draw. The loss would be fatal for both teams and left them at the bottom of the standings, so it would be satisfied with a draw.
