“The games of Spartak with Lokomotiv have always been a mini-derby, now the opponent is driven into a certain corner” – Bazhenov

Former Spartak player Nikita Bazhenov believes that it will not be easy for the Moscow club in the match of the 17th round of the WORLD RPL with Lokomotiv.

– This is the last league game before the big break, so everyone wants to leave in a good mood. The matches between Lokomotiv and Spartak are always interesting and quite open. Loko is now in a difficult situation, but I think they are slowly getting out, something is groping there. It doesn’t get worse. Therefore, it will not be easy for Spartak, they will need to show their capabilities to the maximum, include reserves, play at 100-120%, not lose the fight. Lokomotiv is not a gift. The opponent is driven into a certain corner, they need to get out. Spartak and Lokomotiv are very principled rivals.

I can say for myself that games against Loko have always been mini derbies, in the best sense of the word. It was always interesting with them, they let me play, there were certain freedoms, so the results were great. I don’t know how it will turn out now, but it will not be easy for Spartak – this is obvious, ”Championship” quotes Bazhenov.

Lokomotiv vs Spartak match will start at 19:30. You can follow the progress of the broadcast on the Match TV channel, as well as on the matchtv.ru website.
