Lokomotiv Moscow - CSKA Moscow 28/07/2013 10:30 BST
CSKA Moscow did not start this season in the best way possible, but the team is favorite to win this match. It is expected that this Moscow derby will offer entertaining football with at least two goals scored.
Both teams have excellent offensive players, which ensures that we will see an attractive match. Seydou Doumbia returns at the top of CSKA and this will definitely reflect very positively on the entire team. Last season, the team of Lokomotiv often received praises for its performance in attack, but the uncertain defence is the reason the team took just the ninth place in the standings. In view of the first two matches of Lokomotiv this season it seems the situation for the team will be the same - a strong attack and poor defense.
Derby matches always have their surprises and no doubt this derby is no exception. The statistics of the past 13 years shows that there is no dominant team in these matches, as Lokomotiv has 9 wins and CSKA - 10. CSKA Moscow inflicted a heavy defeat to Lokomotiv with 1-4, the last time these teams met. Therefore, undoubtedly the host will try to make up for this terrible loss.
