The Muscovites have 31 points and are third in the league table, trailing the leading Krasnodar by five points.

Dmitry Pyatibratov's team drew with Khimki at home in the last round (1:1). As a result, Fakel extended their unbeaten streak in the RPL to five matches (1 win, 4 draws). It should be noted that in ten matches of the current championship, the Voronezh team made fewer than three shots on target – this is the worst indicator in the Premier League. The team has 12 points and is in 14th place in the league table, and in terms of the number of goals scored (9), only Dynamo Makhachkala has fewer (7). Striker Vladimir Ilyin will not play due to an accumulation of yellow cards. - The club has not won in 10 of the last 11 away matches in the RPL (2 draws, 8 defeats). - No fewer than three goals have been scored in 4 of the last 5 away matches of the team in the championship. - The Voronezh team has not scored more than once in 10 of the last 11 away games in the Premier League.

Lokomotiv – Fakel: match prediction

At home, Mikhail Galaktionov's charges prefer to play from a position of strength and spend a lot of time on the attack, which results in creating a lot of danger at the opponents' goal. All this translates into high productivity: in the last 16 home matches in the RPL, Lokomotiv players failed to breach the opponents' defense only once – in a meeting of the current championship against the leading Krasnodar. However, in ten games during this period, the Muscovites scored at least twice. Fakel can be very good at containing opponents' attacks, but this is mostly successful at home, and away from home, the Voronezh team is not as reliable. In 7 of the last 8 away games in the Premier League, the team conceded, and in each case – at least two goals. Moreover, in both of the last personal meetings within the championship, at least two goals were scored against Fakel. I think that at home, Mikhail Galaktionov's charges will once again be active in attack and score at least twice. My prediction: Lokomotiv Over 1.5 Goals with odds of
