Former Rubin coach Rinat Bilialetdinov assessed the balance of power in the match RPL between Lokomotiv and CSKA.
Both teams have a chance to win. Even if Lokomotiv will play number two, that doesn’t mean they have less chance of winning. CSKA he also lost the victory in Orenburg on a collision course. It will be interesting to see how Lokomotiv builds the game and how functionally ready it is.
In the match against Dynamo Lokomotiv was very weak. The dynamo was faster, not one person rushed to intercept, but several at once. For sure CSKA they will study this experience and apply this technique to reduce the number of dangerous moments at their gates. Lokomotiv could very well get out of the relegation zone before the winter break, they can do it, but for this the team needs to join. Humor is necessary, without it you cannot win.
If Lokomotiv goes on hiatus in the relegation zone, of course, this will put the players under pressure. They will always return in their thoughts to the location of the tournament. Lokomotiv must get out of the relegation zone.
