Probable Lineups
Team News
Lok. Moscow
- Jan Tigorev is expected to start in midfield with Dmitriy Tarasov missing the game through suspension.
- Guilherme remains the only long term injury worry and should return to training in December.
- Victor Obinna suffered an injury while on international duty with Nigeria and is a doubt.
Dinamo Moscow
- Kevin Kuranyi will return to the match day squad after recovering from injury, but is unlikely to start.
- The same team that featured against Krylya Sovetov could feature in this all important Moscow derby.
Match Facts
- Lokomotiv Moscow have kept a clean sheet in their last 4 home matches in Premier League.
- Dinamo Moscow have won 5 of their last 6 matches in Premier League.
- Dinamo Moscow have scored at least 2 goals in their last 4 away matches against Lokomotiv Moscow in all competitions.
- Lokomotiv Moscow are undefeated in their last 5 home matches in Premier League.
Prediction
- A hugely disappointing defeat at the hands of Tom Tomsk has put Lokomotiv on the back foot in their pursuit of domestic glory. The team need to ensure that they come back positively if they are to keep pace with Zenit and Spartak.
- A couple of narrow victories have put Dinamo on the right path once more, with Dan Petrescu’s side looking to make a late climb for the Champions League places. A victory here would be a massive statement of intent.
- These are two very evenly matched sides, with both feeling the effects of positive moves in the summer transfer window. It will likely be a game full of attacking intent, which could make it an intriguing affair for the neutral.
Lok. Moscow 2 - 1 Dinamo Moscow
