CSKA Moscow v Lokomotiv Moscow prediction

What to expect

We expect about 1.6 goals from CSKA Moscow and 1.2 from Lokomotiv Moscow, so CSKA Moscow come out ahead by a nose. Put together, that is around 2.8 goals in the game, which is an ordinary sort of total.

Our pick: Under 3.5 goals. This has the look of a cagey, low-scoring game — around 2.8 goals in total (xG 1.6-1.2), keeping it under more often than not (about 72%). Clear chances should be at a premium.

We put the chance of that landing at about 72 out of 100. The price on offer is 1.49, which works out at about 67 out of 100. That gap is the whole reason this is on the site: we rate it more likely than the price does, and the price looks good to us because of it.

What the numbers say
CSKA Moscow have won three of their last five.
Lokomotiv Moscow have won one of their last five.
Four of the last five meetings had three goals or more.
Both teams scored in three of the last five meetings.

One thing to watch

A goal against the run of play opens the game up, and a tight total can slip away fast. At around 72% on our numbers, it's a solid lean rather than a certainty.
