- Lokomotiv have scored an average of 1.60 and conceded an average of 1.00 goals per-game in their 5 home matches in all competitions this season, so their home games have been competitive and we believe this derby will be too.
- Lokomotiv have been more up-and-down with 1 win, 3 draws and 1 defeat in their last 5 and 3 wins, 4 draws and 3 defeats in their last 10 in all competitions, which is good enough to be in the playoff hunt, but not good enough to fly high.
