LOKOMOTIV MOSCOW v AMKAR
Monday 18th September 2017 – Kickoff: 2030hrs
Football – Russia – Premier League Betting Tips
Lokomotiv Moscow will be aiming to record a fourth consecutive Russian Premier League match without defeat on Monday night when they play host to bottom club Amkar Perm at their Stadion Lokomotiv, and a win tonight could see them move top of the division.
Following an unexpected 2-0 defeat at home to Tosno last month, Lokomotiv have registered back-to-back wins against Spartak Moscow (away) and Ural (at home), along with a point in a 1-1 draw away at Akhmat Grozny last time out.
The Railroaders have been in solid form on home turf though this season, having racked up four wins from five matches to date with a record of 4-0-1 5/3 and although they have an upcoming Europa League match on Thursday night, they should have enough in their locker to get the points here.
Visitors Amkar Perm sit bottom of the Russian Premier League having lost six of their opening nine league matches of the season, although their one success so far in this campaign was a recent 1-0 away win at Arsenal Tula.
But it’s one thing to record an away win at a bottom half outfit such as Arsenal Tula, but a completely different ball-game to travel away to a third placed team like Lokomotiv Moscow who are pressing for top spot in the Premier League.
Amkar Perm’s away record reads 1-1-3 2/6 which has actually improved in their last two trips on the road thanks also to a 1-1 draw at Krasnodar, but tonight they face a Lokomotiv Moscow side who they’ve failed to beat in their last four visits to the nation’s capital in the Premier League.
Pick: Lokomotiv Moscow to win @ 1.53 bet365
