Analysis and forecast for the match of matchday 17 of the Russian championship “Lokomotiv” – “Zenith” (03/12/2023)
Winter break will be here very soon, but teams still have time to play a couple of rounds. On December 3, four matches will be played on matchday 17 of the Russian Premier League. In one of them, at the RZD Arena in Moscow, Lokomotiv will host Zenit. The starting whistle will sound at 16:30 Moscow time.
Fedotov copes with all the problems:
CSKA-Rostov. Does Fedotov need help? Hardly!
In the last six rounds of the Russian Championship, the Railwaymen only defeated Ajmat, which was in deep crisis (2-1). They also tied with Ural (2-2), Dinamo (0-0), Spartak (1-1) and Krylia Sovetov (3-3). The red and green lost to Rostov (0-1).
The meeting with the inhabitants of Samara caused a great stir. In the 90th minute, Lokomotiv led with a score of 3:1, but in added time the rival managed to equalize the numbers on the scoreboard. Out of emotion, Mikhail Galaktionov and Dmitry Barinov spoke negatively about the refereeing. It would be better if the mentor remained silent, as Ural coach Viktor Goncharenko did during an interview after the RPL matchday 10 match against Rostov.
The RFU CDC considered the words of Galaktionov and Barinov offensive. The coach was disqualified for two games, the captain of the red and green team was suspended for one game and another game suspended. We can say that they came out successful. Many, in particular former RFU ethics committee member Andrei Sozin, consider the FTC’s decision loyal.
Additionally, Galaktionov’s assistant Zaur Khapov received a two-game disqualification for an obscene confrontation with Krylya Sovetov coach Sergei Bulatov. The dismissal of the coaches and one of the leaders is unlikely to have a positive impact on the morale and performance of railway workers.
Ivich takes first place:
“Krasnodar” – “Orenburg”. Vladimir Ivich got used to comfort.
First of all, Galaktionov and Barinov disappoint the fans and Artyom Dzyuba, for whom the matches against Zenit are of particular importance. Apparently, the Loko forward holds a grudge against his former club. He said that the St. Petersburg club was becoming the Zenit of Rio de Janeiro or Sao Paulo, and also showed significant disrespect towards Sergei Semak on several occasions.
It seems that the time of reckoning has come. In the last six games in the RPL, the blue and white have not suffered a single defeat. They tied with Krasnodar (1-1) and defeated Sochi (2-0 and 3-0), Krylia Sovetov (3-1), Akhmat (2-1) and Baltika (2-0). Thus, the St. Petersburg team rose to first place in the standings.
Mateo Cassierra deserves special praise. He got into a crazy shape. In 14 games in the Russian championship, the Colombian scored 12 goals and gave one assist. According to a statistical study conducted by an authoritative source, he was ranked as the eighth best attacker in the world.
In the match of the 15th round of the RPL, Cassierra was injured and could not play in the matches against Sochi in the Championship and Dynamo (0:1) in the Russian Cup. The blue and white’s main midfielder, Wendel, also missed the match with the blue and white due to a cold. Information recently appeared that they, like Gustavo Mantuan, have recovered and can play against Lokomotiv.
Despite the victory in the match against Zenit, Dynamo coach Marcel Licka stated that St. Petersburg are now on another level and seem to be playing in their own championship. You can bet on Semak’s team to win the next match at Fonbet with odds of 2.15 and to register, the bookmaker offers free bet 2000 rubles.
Interestingly, this season Zenit performs even better away from home than at home. In eight away games they suffered only one defeat and two draws. During this period, the blue and white scored 15 goals and only lost six.
The history of the last seven direct confrontations is also completely on the side of St. Petersburg. Five of them won. There was also a tie: 1:1. The railroaders beat the light blue team (2-1) thanks to an error by Zenit’s defenders and competent substitutions by Galaktionov. It is unlikely that they will be able to make a splash this time.
Prediction and bets for the RPL Lokomotiv – Zenit match on December 3, 2023
Lokomotiv has worse results both in the last six rounds and in distance. Furthermore, the disqualifications of Galaktionov, Khapov and Barinov will likely have a negative impact on him. Zenit, on the other hand, has totally positive news. He returned to his usual first place. In addition, important players have recovered. This and the history of the last seven direct confrontations indicate that the St. Petersburg team will win. Bets on Zenit’s victory are accepted at Fonbet with an odds of 2.15 and to register they give free bet 2000 rubles.
Tender: Zenit victory with a odds of 2.15.
