Head-to-head statistics Lokomotiv Yaroslavl - Dynamo
Lokomotiv Yaroslavl Team Overview
Lokomotiv are in solid form, securing five wins in their last six matches, with their only defeat coming against Avangard in a 0-3 loss. The team plays well, but their finishing has been lacking; they haven't scored more than three goals in a game for nine consecutive matches. Their recent head-to-head with Dynamo was, to put it mildly, low-scoring, ending 0-1.
We anticipate that Lokomotiv will adopt a pragmatic approach once again and might secure a win, but are unlikely to score many goals. An interesting fact: Lokomotiv frequently scores first in the opening periods of their home games, only to then often shift into a defensive mode.
Match Results: Lokomotiv Yaroslavl
Dynamo Moscow Team Overview
Dynamo enter this game not in their best form. Recently, the Moscow side were riding a three-game winning streak, but now they are trying to forget the nightmare of a 7-1 defeat to Dinamo Minsk. Before that, they barely edged out CSKA in overtime, with neither team scoring during the regulation 60 minutes.
All of this indicates that Dynamo are struggling with scoring, and a high-scoring game is unlikely. Specifically against Lokomotiv, Dynamo haven't scored more than three goals in over a year.
