Lokomotiv Moscow take on the visitors FC Copenhagen at “Lokomotiv Stadium” in the matchday five of the UEFA Europa League Group stage. The game will be played in Moscow on Thursday, November 23rd.
Before the upcoming Eurocup battle, Lokomotiv Moscow gained 1:0 triumph over FK Anzi Makhachkala in the Russian Premier League where “Zheleznodorozhniki” are leading in the standings with 36 points earned after 17 rounds played. In the UEFA Europa League the Russian club unexpectedly lost 1:2 to Sheriff Tiraspol in the previous gameweek. As a result, the team has dropped down to the third place in Group F with five points taken and 5-3 goal difference which doesn’t allow the side to promote to the Play Offs so far, although judging from the potential, it must face no problems in proceeding to the spring stage of the competition. Lokomotiv Moscow have got eight victories alongside with single draw and three defeats in 12 encounters played in front of their supporters.

FC Copenhagen are failing now the Danish Superliga where “Loverne” have lost two recent games: 0:1 to Brondby and 0:3 to Sonderjyske. With 16 matchdays behind, the constant champion is currently occupying the sixth place in the Danish Superliga standings with 22 points gained. However, FC Copenhagen have not been beaten on the UEFA Europa League Group stage yet, having recorded three draws and 3:0 triumph over Zlin in the latest fight and currently share the first-second positions in Group F with Sheriff Tiraspol. The Danes conducted 14 encounters on the road resulting in four victories, three draws and seven defeats.
The first-lap head-to-head between Lokomotiv Moscow and FC Copenhagen was finished in 0:0 draw. Both rivals need only a win in the forthcoming clash. However, taking into account the group stage statistics of the Russians and the Danes, I believe that there will be either minimum or none goals scored in the forthcoming battle.
Prediction for the match: Under 2.0 scored goals.
