Lokomotiv does not compete for prizes in the VTB League this season. Of course, the coaching staff can declare high ambitions, but the current roster does not correspond to them. The team lacks leaders and depth of the roster not to be an outsider or an average-level team.
Samara decided to rely on American players this season. These players have notable experience in strong European leagues, so we have no doubt they can show a worthy performance this season. We believe Samara will have chances of success even in an away match against Lokomotiv, and it is difficult to believe in a big defeat.
Our prediction: Samara not to lose heavily. We recommend the “2 Hand (+6.5)” bet, odds 1.7
