Lokomotiv vs Spartak Moscow Prediction

ЦСКА host Lokomotiv on 1 November 2026 at 19:45 in a Russian Premier League fixture. ЦСКА sit third in the table after 12 rounds with seven wins, four draws, and one loss. Lokomotiv are 13th with two wins, five draws, and five losses. The hosts won their last meeting 2:0 in a Moscow derby. ЦСКА have won three consecutive head-to-head matches without defeat.

Form and H2H

ЦСКА play pragmatically and rarely suffer heavy defeats. They scored in nine consecutive matches and conceded 16 goals across their last seven games. Lokomotiv's attack produced 16 goals in 12 league rounds but their defence allowed the same number. Lokomotiv lost 0:2 away at Rostov in their previous outing and have not won in three consecutive matches. In the all-time record, ЦСКА lead with 82 wins to Lokomotiv's 57 from 177 official meetings. This season the teams have met twice: ЦСКА won 1:1 on penalties in the cup and 3:2 in the league.

Best bet

ЦСКА are the pick. The hosts have not lost to Lokomotiv in three straight head-to-head encounters. ЦСКА's attack is in form, scoring in nine consecutive matches, while Lokomotiv conceded in four straight meetings against ЦСКА. In six of seven recent matches involving ЦСКА, the Over 2.5 threshold was breached. Both teams scored in three consecutive direct meetings, a pattern worth monitoring given ЦСКА's attacking run and Lokomotiv's leaky defence.
