Analysis and forecast for the match on matchday 12 of the Russian championship “Khimki” – “Lokomotiv” (10/19/2024)
On October 19, four matches will be played on matchday 12 of the Russian Premier League. In one of them, at the Arena-Khimki stadium, local teams Khimki and Lokomotiv will compete. The kick-off is scheduled for 16:30 Moscow time. The match will be officiated by a team of referees led by Mikhail Cheremnykh.
Khimki only has one victory this RPL season. They beat Rubin (3-2) and not without luck. The red and black go into the next match with a streak of eight games without a win. How big is management’s limit of trust in Frank Artiga?
Thanks to the Spanish specialist, the team acquired its own style and signature. It has become interesting in terms of team play, but this does not always give results. Khimki is in 13th place in the championship standings. They run the risk of being relegated to the First League.
Recently, the red and black signed a contract with Georgiy Dzhikiya. The 30-year-old defender had already made his debut for the club in the RPL, but the match did not generate positive emotions either for him or for the club’s fans. Khimki lost to Krasnodar by a devastating score of 0-4.
“Lokomotiv”, in turn, runs like a locomotive. This RPL season, Mikhail Galaktionov’s team has only two defeats. In the derby they disappointingly lost against Dinamo (1-3) and also against Krasnodar (0-3). The railroaders never lost more points in the championship.
Galaktionov deserves great praise and respect for the work he has done. The specialist has trained a young team that is capable of competing for victory in the Russian Championship. The red-greens have the same points as the Krasnodar team, which leads the championship standings, but the additional indicators are worse.
Alexey Batrakov aspires to become the main discovery of the season. The midfielder scored seven goals and provided six assists in 11 games in the Russian championship. It is rare for the 19-year-old to leave the field without making an impact, but even in games like these he makes a big impact and is one of the main reasons for winning.
The technique and speed of young players have become the hallmark of Lokomotiv’s game. It is very aggressive, but elegant and at the same time attacks correctly. An important part of the railway game is linked to Dmitry Vorobyov. He develops attacks well and is excellent at navigating the opposing goal.
Among railway workers, the number of football players is increasing. The mechanism, perfected by Galaktionov, seems very reliable and interesting. It is unlikely that Frank Artiga will be able to find weak points in the red-green game. You can bet on Lokomotiv’s victory with a handicap (-1.5) with an odds of 2.37.
Former defender of CSKA, London Chelsea and the Russian national team, Yuri Zhirkov, does not consider Lokomotiv a real contender for victory in the Russian championship. In his opinion, Zenit is the clear favorite. If we evaluate the game of the St. Petersburg players and Galaktionov’s incredibly well-coordinated system, we come to completely different conclusions.
Of course, there is still a lot of time until the end of the season and a lot can change. However, so far Mikhail Galaktionov’s team is giving exclusively positive emotions. This shows that it is capable of competing with Krasnodar and Zenit in the fight for gold medals in the championship.
Predictions and bets for the match RPL “Khimki” – “Lokomotiv” on October 19, 2024
Khimki is a difficult opponent with whom many have difficulties. Frank Artiga manages the reservations competently. However, Mikhail Galaktionov is even better in this regard. Lokomotiv is unstoppable. Shows very high-quality gameplay and delights fans with confident victories.
Tender: Lokomotiv victory with a handicap (-1.5) in 2.37.
