Lokomotiv Moscow hosts Juventus in round 4 of the Champions League group stage. The match will be played on Wednesday, November 6th at RZD Arena (Moscow)
Lokomotiv got under time pressure. The team cannot win for three matches in a row, and the coaching staff may count on only 12-14 players. In the games against Spartak and Ufa, Yuri Pavlovic was forced to do only one substitution. Yes, Loko didn’t manage to stand ground in Turin, but what would happen if Juventus didn’t add in the last 15 minutes of the match and began to play like that from the very beginning? Theoretically, the chances of getting into the 1/8 finals remain after the away victory over Bayer. But in practice, such a game that Lokomotiv shows now will make it difficult to cling even to the third place.

Changing the game model of Juventus and the new coach is not so significant for the Champions League and even the national championship. Something is good, and something is not yet. The Black-Whites will surely take their toll in the distance. Although they score not so much compared to last season and cannot keep a clean sheet for several matches, a victory in Moscow guarantees promotion to the next stage. So far, the Old Lady does not know the bitterness of defeat in the season. Although many experts say that Juventus has become weaker than in the last season.
Lokomotiv defended the entire match in Turin. I look forward to this now. There are many injured players. It may not be so significant for the championship of Russia, but it is not enough against one of the best clubs in the world. The Black-Whites may not be forcing events, but at some point, the high class and individual actions of the players will decide the outcome of the match. Probably we won’t see the hammering defeat and Juventus will win with a one-goal difference, but it would be very strange not to beat such a Lokomotiv. The match with Atletico showed that the Muscovites are not able to play on equal footing with the grandees even at home. Most likely, the hosts will not even manage to score.
Prediction for the match: Juventus to win
