Lokomotiv Moscow vs Juventus Live Stats & Betting Odds
Lokomotiv Moscow Prediction – Can Lok. Moscow close gap?
3rd placed Lokomotiv Moscow find themselves playing catch-up to the top two teams, Juventus and Atletico Madrid who are both sitting on 7 points apiece and a 4-point cushion ahead of the Russian side as Group D is unfolding in line with expectations.
Lokomotiv Moscow’s Champions League group campaign got off to the perfect start though as the Russian side secured a valuable 2-1 win away from home at German club, Bayer Leverkusen, but their fortunes have taken a somewhat disappointing turn for the worse since.
Back-to-back defeats to the top two teams, Atletico Madrid 2-0 at home and a 2-1 loss away from home at Juventus have seen Wednesday night’s hosts drop down to 3rd place and now 4 points adrift prior to Matchday 4.
Overall results in this competition for Lokomotiv Moscow have been pretty poor in recent times as The Railwaymen have lost 8 of their last 10 Champions League ties, and although they have home advantage on Wednesday night, they look set to be in for a tough 90 minutes.
Juventus Prediction – Can Juventus edge ahead at top?
As mentioned earlier, Juventus are tied on 7 points apiece with Atletico Madrid at the top of Group D prior to this week’s Matchday 4 action, but the visitors have a good opportunity to pull clear at the top of the group despite having to travel to Moscow.
Juventus are in good nick at the moment as The Old Lady have won 9 of their last 10 matches in all competitions and are unbeaten in their last 15 matches overall, with the visitors winning 12 of these, so confidence will be high amongst the Juventus camp ahead of Matchday 4.
Champions League form has been more modest though, especially away from home as Juventus are without a win from their last 4 matches on their travels, losing at Young Boys and Atletico Madrid, but picking up points in draws with Ajax and Atletico Madrid again.
However, their 2-1 win against Lokomotiv Moscow on Matchday 3 should have given them a timely boost ahead of this clash and they’ll be keen to take another step towards progressing to the knockout phase with a win here.
Key-Facts – Lokomotiv Moscow vs Juventus
- Lokomotiv Moscow have lost 8 of their last 10 Champions League ties overall

Betting Tips Verdict
