CSKA Moscow take on the visitors Lokomotiv Moscow at “Arena CSKA” in the opening match of the gameweek two of the Russian Premier League. The Moscow derby will be played on Friday, July 21st.
As usual, CSKA Moscow went through a summer break without transfers in and out of the club, at least it is so before the kick-off of their head-to-head against Lokomotiv Moscow. In the opening clash of the season “Armeitsy” broke FK Anzi Makhachkala with 3:1 scoreline on the road. By that game they have proved once again that the club didn’t have to spend million EUR on new football players for gaining favourable results in Russian tournaments. All you have to do is just use those performers that there are in a roster in the most effective manner. “Armeitsy” lost just one out of 15 encounters at “Arena CSKA” in domestic competitions and the matchup will open second season for the new stadium.

Lokomotiv Moscow have conducted already two official games in this season: the side was beaten by Spartak Moscow with 1:2 scoreline in extra time in the Super Cup and got 1:0 triumph over Arsenal Tula in face of its fans in the opening clash of the Premier League. At the moment Yuri Semin cannot find balance in the team’s play, while “Zheleznodorozhniki” are able to produce more or less solid performance in defense, then they must push harder in offense.
In recent years CSKA Moscow were all over their townsmen from Lokomotiv Moscow. Plus Viktor Goncharenko’s side will play in front of its supporters, thus its chances for getting three points automatically increase, besides, in the first encounter of the season “Armeitsy” showed more convenient football comparing to “Zheleznodorozhniki”.
Prediction for the match: CSKA Moscow to win.
