Analysis and prediction for the match “Lokomotiv” – “Partizan” (10/07/2024)
To prepare for the new season, the teams are holding friendly matches. A test match between Lokomotiv and Partizan will take place at the RZD Arena in Moscow on 10 July. Kick-off is scheduled for 15:30 Moscow time.
Lokomotiv experienced major personnel changes in the summer. The club parted ways with Artyom Dzyuba, Anton Miranchuk, Maxim Glushenkov, Rifat Zhemaletdinov, Stanislav Magkeev, Daniil Khudyakov and Marinato Guilherme.
Railway captain Dmitry Barinov expressed the opinion that Lokomotiv is moving in the opposite direction to progress. He noted that the club was obliged to keep players of such quality as Glushenkov, Zhemaletdinov and Miranchuk. There is some truth in the midfielder’s words. These players cannot be dismissed.
On the other hand, Lokomotiv has clearly charted a new course of development. Its squad has noticeably rejuvenated. Discovering your talents should not be a problem. Mikhail Galaktionov, who previously worked for a long time as a mentor for the Russian youth team, is good at developing young players.
In a recent friendly match, his players defeated Baltika (4-1). Radikovsky scored a brace and Rakov added two assists.
Partizan is a slightly higher-level opponent than Baltika. At the end of last season, it won the silver medal in the Serbian Championship. However, the last friendly matches of the Brotherhood Cup showed that Belgrade does not pose a serious threat to the RPL clubs.
Aleksandar Stanoevich’s return to the coaching post of Partizan has not brought anything good yet. In the matches against Dynamo and CSKA, the team performed mediocrely and created little. The opponent looked much stronger, although the blue-and-whites managed to lose. Everything was decided by serious mistakes in the end.
The army team simply crushed the Belgrade club. CSKA could have easily won with a great result. Partizan had several dangerous moments, but in the big picture they are lost and mean nothing. The army team dominated and opened the opponent’s defense in several ways.
The same can be expected from the upcoming match. Yes, young players make simple mistakes more often. However, the meeting with Baltika showed that Mikhail Galaktionov is ready for difficulties and knows how to best cope with them.
You can bet on Lokomotiv’s victory in the upcoming match at bookmakers with a rate of 1.80. In the future, the railwaymen’s game should become more dynamic and varied. Mikhail Galaktionov has the mass with which a very good variable team can be formed. And at the same time the payroll will be unloaded.
So Dmitry Barinov’s discontent, though justified, is unfounded. The new development vector chosen by the Railwaymen is more promising than clinging to the old one. Last season proved that Galaktionov works much better with young players. Ilya Samoshnikov and other promising players were more useful than the veterans.
Predictions and bets for the Lokomotiv – Partizan match on July 10, 2024
Having rejuvenated the train, the railwaymen did not lose quality. Now Galaktionov has the opportunity to fully demonstrate his talent. In a meeting with Partizan, who cannot find their game after the return of Stankevich, Lokomotiv should not have much difficulty.
Tender: Lokomotiv wins by 1.80.
