Lokomotiv Moscow hosts Orenburg in round 23 of the Russian Premier League. The match will be played on Sunday, June 21st at RZD Arena (Moscow)
Time will tell what the departure of Semin will change. The short-sighted management attributed everything to age and a large salary, but I think the main reason lies in the fact that Yuri Pavlovich independently made decisions about the purchase of football players. And he even managed to become a champion and win two Russian cups after his return. Well, who will allow reducing salaries of football players during a pandemic? Only one thought – the management got rid of Semin to launder money. There are no other thoughts. How does this apply to a match with Orenburg? In the most direct way. Lokomotiv is the second and fights for a direct ticket to the Champions League. It will probably succeed since the rival is not so strong, but the autumn should disturb the fans - there will be a completely different squad but the same goals. As for matches with outsiders, Lokomotiv doesn’t experience any special problems.

Orenburg seems to have started well, but then Fedotov left... I don’t know how to regard the devastating defeats to Tambov and Sochi. This year Orenburg gained only one victory over Arsenal but showed good results in friendly matches. Only Rostov concedes more in away rounds, but if we talk about the upcoming match, Orenburg had no chance in confrontations with Lokomotiv. The visitors will have to wage the struggle for survival, although they look much stronger than Krylya Sovetov and especially Akhmat.
I think Lokomotiv will win this game, although it gained victory in only half of the home matches. I doubt that the victory will be gained with a difference of more than one goal since it’s hard to say what to expect from the players with the new head coach. Bookmakers offer a quite good coefficient on the victory of the hosts, and I offer to take advantage of this.
Prediction for the match: Lokomotiv Moscow to win
