Prediction

• An own goal was the difference between Tom Tomsk and Dinamo Moscow last weekend and the team will need show a similar level of resolve if they are to come close to matching an in-form Lokomotiv Moscow side.
• Lokomotiv Moscow managed to easily overcome Spartak last time round and they will have set their sights on a relatively straight forward victory in Siberia to keep their pursuit of Zenit at the top of the table alive.
• This should be a routine victory for a Lokomotiv side who are blossoming into a very formidable outfit. With Dame N’Doye scoring goals, it’s difficult to see just how Tom Tomsk will contain the Senegalese forward.
