Soccer. Russian Cup. RPL path. Quarterfinal. Spartak – Lokomotiv. Direct
On the evening of Monday, February 27, Moscow will host the quarter-final second leg of the Russian Cup, in which the capital Spartak and Lokomotiv will face each other. Five days ago, the “red-whites” won a guest victory on the field of “railway workers” with a minimum score: Danil Prutsev scored a goal in the 16th minute. In a home game, Guillermo Abascal’s side are considered even more favorites. For the success of the hosts, the bookmakers give a coefficient of 1.82, while the victory of Lokomotiv is estimated at 4.20 points. You can bet on a draw for 3.55.
In fact, “Spartacus” was originally considered small in this pair, but still a favorite. Abaskal’s wards are powerfully and most importantly stably passing the current season both in the Russian championship and in the country’s Cup. In the Premier League, the Red-Whites are in second place, six points behind league leaders Zenit. And in the cup tournament, the Spartacists have one of the best results among all the teams. They won the group, all the same bypassing it “Zenith”. Yes, and the game itself Abascal’s team looks much more organized than the “railway”. Then the passage of the “red-whites” later in the tournament will seem logical.
But in football, whoever is the strongest and most stable does not always win. Do Lokomotiv have a chance of reaching the semi-finals? Sure, but not great. Yes, the “railroaders” are having a very unsuccessful season, and perhaps the worst in Premier League history, where they are still fighting to stay in the top flight. But the Cup is different. Here, a ticket for the next round is won even in one match. And today can be such a duel. Moreover, in the first meeting against compatriots, “Locomotive” lost with a minimum score. Now the “railway workers” have a new coach – Mikhail Galaktionov. There is a strengthening of the composition in the off-season. Spartak will therefore not have an easy walk today.
However, the personal fixture stats in this pair are again not in favor of Lokomotiv. In the past five years, “Spartacus” has not lost to the “railway” in its field. And today the “red-white” is quite happy with a draw.
