Lokomotiv Tbilisi take on the visitors Samtredia at “Mikheil Meskhi Stadium” in the matchday 17 of the Georgian Erovnuli Liga. The game will be played in Tbilisi on Friday, June 17th.
Last round Lokomotiv Tbilisi broke Dila Gori on the road with 2:0 scoreline and ended their five-clash losing streak. Mediocre results in May cost to “Zheleznodorozhniki” a place in the top-three sides of the Erovnuli Liga. After 16 rounds they settle on the fourth position in the table with 24 points gained and 29-20 goal difference. Lokomotiv Tbilisi are 13 and 10 points behind the leading duet respectively, meanwhile, they are only three points below the third place. Lokomotiv Tbilisi conducted eight encounters at the home field recording 11 points earned, 14 goals for and 12 goals against in them. The team lost three last matches in front of its supporters with 2:7 aggregated score.

Samtredia couldn’t win across two recent clashes: the side was broken by Torpedo Kutaisi with 1:2 scoreline and got 1:1 draw against Poti. After 16 gameweeks of the season, the defending champion of the Erovnuli Liga occupies the third place in the standings with 27 points taken and 21-18 goal difference. On the road Giorgi Tsetsadze’s side demonstrates the best football in the elite division: it got 18 points with 14 goals for and nine goals against in eight encounters. Nevertheless, the team lost two away matches: 2:3 to Dinamo Tbilisi and 1:2 to Torpedo Kutaisi.
Neither Lokomotiv Tbilisi nor Samtredia has no historical advantage in their head-to-heads, moreover, this season they are neighbours in the Erovnuli Liga standings, thus I expect for a thrilling battle with at least few scored goals.
Prediction for the match: Over 2.0 scored goals.
