Lokomotiv Moscow welcome the visitors Galatasaray in the Champions League Group Stage – Round 5. The match will be held on Wednesday, November 28th at the RZD Arena (Moscow).
This season Lokomotiv is not as successful as last year. In the national championship they are currently 4th, 6 points behind the leader. In the Champions League Round 5 they will host the Turkish Galatasaray, this being the last chance for the Russians to finish third and parachute into the Europa League. If this happens, the season can be considered saved, otherwise Semin is likely to resign. In their home record, Loko have 5 wins and 2 loses in the Champions League only, from Sсhalke 04 and Porto.

Galatasaray currently occupy the 3rd line in the CL, they will try not to miss their chances and bring at least a draw from Moscow. The championship is also more or less fine for them. The team have 24 points after 13 rounds and a 5-point lag from Istanbul.
Galatasaray away performance is not that good as their home one, so, first of all, they will be instructed to play carefully. Holding the score will be a priority, no one will make goals and take any risk. Lokomotiv will be highly motivated and will attack, there will be goalmouth action, and the team will have a great chance to find the net. We believe the Russians will not lose just because the Turkish team will play for holding the score, and the hosts’ win with 0.0 handicap looks ok.
Prediction for the match: Lokomotiv Moscow to win with 0.0 handicap.
