Lokomotiv Moscow
- Lokomotiv Moscow have won 6, drawn 4, and lost 3 away games in the Russian Premier League this season (average score: 1.77 goals for, 1.54 against).
- Lokomotiv Moscow have done a fantastic job to be in contention for the top spots in the 2025-2026 Premier League, coming into the weekend sitting in 3rd place with 48 points from 25 games, and it’s all down to coach Mikhail Galaktionov’s tactical blueprint.
- Aleksey Batrakov has been the main attacking weapon for Lokomotiv this term, scoring 13 Premier League goals in 24 appearances.
- Cesar Montes has provided a nice boost to the team’s offense of late with 3 goals in their last 5 games, while Aleksey Batrakov has added 3 assists during the same period.
- Lokomotiv’s performance has been a bit patchy lately, however, with a 2-1 away loss to Spartak Moscow following a 1-1 home draw with FC Dynamo Makhachkala and a 1-0 away victory against Gazovik Orenburg.
Krylya Sovetov Samara
- Krylya Sovetov Samara have won 0, drawn 2, and lost 1 of their last 3 Russian Premier League matches.
- Krylya Sovetov Samara sit 12th in the 2025/2026 Premier League table, with 23 points from 26 Premier League games, and their results have been particularly bad lately.
- Sergey Bulatov’s team has failed to win their last 5 league games, drawing twice and losing 3 times, a run of results which hasn’t helped them put distance between themselves and the relegation places.
- Vadim Rakov has been a goal-scoring hero for Krylya with 5 goals in 10 Premier League appearances, while Ivan Oleynikov has chipped in 3 goals during their current poor run, helping Krylya stay in the game.
- Krylya’s last 3 matches have seen them draw 2-2 at home to FC Akhmat Grozny, followed by a 1-1 draw at home to CSKA Moscow and a 2-1 defeat away to PFK Sochi.
Head-to-Head
- Lokomotiv Moscow will be looking to bounce back from their recent defeat to Spartak Moscow, but they will be under no illusions about the difficulty of this fixture, having won none of their last 3 away head-to-head games.
- Krylya, on the other hand, will be boosted by their 7-6 win over Lokomotiv in the Cup 2025/2026, a crazy game which has definitely added a little extra spice to the rivalry between the sides.

Betting Insights
The away win odds of 2.01 on offer for Lokomotiv Moscow look like a great value bet, while the both teams to score market of 1.72 and over 2.5 goals odds of 1.93 are also attractive.
Prediction
- With Lokomotiv pushing for the top of the standings and Krylya trying to avoid the drop, we think they will both play at their maximum here, with Lokomotiv finally managing to end their dry spell in Samara.
- However, Krylya’s compactness and threat on the counter-attack should ensure that both teams score in what we expect to be an end-to-end game.
