Spartak host Lokomotiv in a highly anticipated Moscow derby in the Russian Premier League. Both clubs are hard to beat and improving, will we see a winner at Otkrytie Arena on Sunday?

Spartak Moscow Form


Spartak Moscow finished 7th in the Russian Premier League last season. Domenico Tedesco took over in November and will hope to do better with a full season in charge.

Spartak are undefeated in their last five league matches including all three this season. They blew an early 2-0 lead against Sochi, conceding late in a 2-2 draw.

Spartak Moscow had an easy 2-0 win against Akhmat with Jordan Larsson and Ezequiel Ponce on target. Tedesco’s side had 71% possession and 19-7 shots.

It was similar stats at Ufa on Wednesday, 71% possession and 21-7 shots in a 1-1 draw. They conceded early, Jordan Larsson saw a penalty saved with Ezequiel Ponce equalising in the 18th minute.

Spartak Moscow Team News


Recent signing Aleksandr Kokorin remains sidelined with a calf injury. Attacking midfielder Oston Urunov is undergoing an individual training programme to rebuild his fitness.

Tedesco should stick with the same formula here with Alexander Sobolev, Jordan Larsson and Ezequiel Ponce up front.

Lokomotiv Moscow Form


Lokomotiv Moscow were runners-up in the Russian Premier League last season, finishing 15 points behind Zenit St. Petersburg. Manager Marko Nikolic took over in June and his side are unbeaten in his 11 league matches in charge.

Lokomotiv faced Zenit in the Russian Super Cup and suffered a 2-1 defeat. They began the new season with a 2-0 win at Rubin Kazan, Dmitri Rybchinsky assisting both goals for Aleksey Miranchuk and Dimitri Barinov.

Aleksey Miranchuk scored in the 1-0 win against Krasnodar before a 1-1 draw at Ural. Fedor Smolov scored a late equaliser, a deserved point after having 68% possession and 21-5 shots.

Lokomotiv Moscow Team News


Striker Luka Djordjevic is injured but Portuguese forward Éder came off the bench at Ural as he returns from injury.

Belarus international Vitaly Lisakovich recently joined from Shakhtyor Soligorsk and came off the bench.
