Russian football is back and at once there's such a super poster. Lokomotiv-Spartak - what more can fans wish for. An exciting and hot match awaits us. Spartak had a good preseason. They won the pre-season tournament in Abu Dhabi, showing good football. Lokomotiv have the rebuilding going on. Many new players have arrived (Glushenkov, Pinyayev, Dzyuba). They all need time, plus I think Lokomotiv don't care that much about the Cup in a season in which they are not in the most pleasant situation and can be relegated from the top league. They have a two-match winning streak. Yes, Spartak have a lot of suspended players, but it's not a serious loss, because the Red and White have a couple of good newcomers (Duarte, Tavares) and several key players returning from injury.Translated with www.DeepL.com/Translator (free version)
