Analysis and prediction for the match of the 1st round of the Russian Cup Path RPL Lokomotiv – Rostov (07/30/2024)
The matches of the second round of the Russian Premier League are over. The Russian Cup is starting. On July 30, the match that will open the program of the first round of the group stage of the RPL Path will take place. Lokomotiv will host Rostov at the RZD Arena in Moscow. The kick-off is scheduled for 18:30 Moscow time.
At the start of the season, Lokomotiv looks very decent. The fans are happy. The railroaders show intense attacking football. They have enormous growth potential that Mikhail Galaktionov will have to reveal.
The leaders of the red-green team, which has undergone many changes in the summer, are Sergei Pinyaev and Dmitry Vorobyov, from Orenburg. The latter scored goals in both matches of the new Russian Championship and also provided an assist.

First, Mikhail Galaktionov’s team defeated Akron (3-2) and then lost to Dynamo (1-3). The result of the match with the blue and whites is not logical. The railwaymen created many chances. With high pressure and high pace, they forced the opponent to make mistakes.
Andrey Lunev’s excellent performance is worth mentioning. He really helped his team on several occasions. Ilya Lantratov also saved a lot. The Loko goalkeeper deserves praise, but despite his efforts, the railwaymen conceded five goals in two matches.
Galaktionov called the defensive mistakes like those of a kindergarten. He promised that a serious discussion would be held with the defenders. Because of them, the initiative that the railwaymen had in the match with the blue and whites for almost the entire second half was lost. Dynamo coach Marcel Licka said after the match that the opponent forgave, but his players did not.
For Rostov, this is the key to victory in the upcoming match. They started the season even better than Lokomotiv. The yellows drew with CSKA (0-0) and beat Krylia Sovetov (3-1). They showed a decent level of football.
In the match against the military team, Valery Karpin’s team unfortunately lost points. They looked better than their opponents. Rostovites were much more successful in building attacks, getting out of defense and creating sharpness. In some places they were a little unlucky, and in others CSKA defenders and Igor Akinfeev played well.
Valery Karpin solved the problem quite easily. He simply made the team’s game even more attacking, and it paid off. The Yellows created more chances and, naturally, scored three goals. After the match, the Russian national team coach praised them for the work they had done.
In the summer, the yellow-blues did not undergo any significant changes. If there are any changes, they are more cosmetic in nature. The Rostov team’s playing model remained the same, only the reliability in defence was increased. This was sorely needed last season. The club often dropped points out of nowhere.
Karpin’s team was particularly hard on the road. In 15 away games in the Russian championship, they conceded 27 goals – only Paris Saint-Germain have more. The visiting factor of the yellow-blues may well be lame in the new season.
Many goals are expected in the upcoming match. Despite Galaktionov’s serious conversation with the team and the improvement of the Rostovites’ defensive reliability, there should be a lot of goals. Both coaches are likely to resort to some experimentation, as is expected in the initial stages of the Russian Cup, which will increase the risk of making mistakes.
You can place a bet on an over 2.5 goals at bookmakers with a rate of 1.83. The fact is that both teams have found their game in attack. They create many chances and score often. Of course, there is still work to be done. Sometimes the implementation fails. However, overall, the clubs’ offense works well.
Predictions and bets for the Russian Cup match “Lokomotiv” – “Rostov” on July 30, 2024
Lokomotiv has changed. It became much more interesting in attack after the summer break. The only thing left is to fix the defense. It is not able to cope with its responsibilities. “Rostov” constantly shows high-quality play. The only thing is that we are quite vulnerable. It will probably have an advantage in goals.
Tender: total over 2.5 goals for 1.83.
