Lokomotiv vs Kryliya Prediction 16 September 2026
🔉 Lokomotiv are slowly pulling themselves out of a difficult spell. After a run of poor results, the team beat Baltika (1:0) and then gave Zenit a real game in St Petersburg, losing only narrowly (1:2). New signings Mostovoy and Titkov are gradually settling in, and Komlichenko has returned. Krylya Sovetov are also in decent shape: four matches without defeat in the RPL, including a draw with Krasnodar (2:2) and a win over Rodina (2:1). Both teams have picked up form, and the match promises to be an eventful one.
Head-to-Head
📊 In the last nine head-to-head meetings, Lokomotiv have won just once. Five of those nine ended in draws, and at least four goals were scored in four of the last six. Historically, Krylya have been an awkward opponent for the Moscow side, despite the difference in status between the clubs.
Head-to-head statistics Lokomotiv - Kryliya
Lokomotiv Moscow Team Overview
Galaktionov's side have won just once in their last five matches. But the results don't tell the full story: Lokomotiv have not lost by more than one goal in any of those games, and the quality of their play has improved since strengthening the squad. Mostovoy scored the winner against Baltika, Komlichenko has returned from injury, and Titkov has added creativity in the centre. Problems remain at the back, though: Fasson is injured, Nyamsi is doubtful, and Galaktionov has had to reshuffle his defensive line.

Krylya Sovetov Team Overview
Samara have gone six matches without defeat in normal time across all competitions. In the league, they have taken points off Krasnodar, thrashed Akron 3-0 and beaten Rodina 2-1. The departures of Oleynikov and the injury to Rakhmanovich have not disrupted the team: Shitov made an impact from the bench and Gorshkov has become the main playmaker. Krylya are scoring at the level of a medal contender - 12 goals in eight league rounds, more than Dynamo. The problem is at the back: 13 conceded this season and 21 in their last 15 RPL matches.

Latest news
Lokomotiv Moscow
Lucas Fasson picked up an injury in the match against Zenit and will not play. Gerzino Nyamsi is a doubt. Dzhikia continues his recovery. Pogostnov could come in at centre-back, with Silyanov shifting to the flank to cover Fasson's position. Mostovoy, who missed the starting XI in St Petersburg due to the terms of his loan, will return to the lineup.
Krylya Sovetov
Amar Rakhmanovich is injured - Shitov will take his place up front. Stolbov, who scored the winning goal against Rodina, will almost certainly start. The club have brought back several of their academy graduates, and Gorshkov is already among the season's leading assisters.
🟨 Yellow Cards Prediction
Both teams play physically and commit plenty of fouls in midfield. Lokomotiv have been picking up bookings regularly in recent matches for breaking up attacks, and Krylya Sovetov are not shy in the tackle. The referee is unlikely to keep his cards in his pocket. We're going with Total Yellow Cards - Over 3.5 at 1.73*. At least four bookings were shown in four of Krylya Sovetov's last five matches and in three of Lokomotiv's last four.
⚽️ Goals Prediction
Krylya have scored in six of their last seven league matches and in eight of their last nine head-to-head meetings. Lokomotiv's defence has been conceding regularly this season. The hosts have also looked more dangerous in attack since Mostovoy arrived and Komlichenko returned. At least four goals were scored in four of the last six head-to-head meetings. For this match, Total Goals - Over 2.5 at 1.78* is worth considering.
🚩 Corners Prediction
Lokomotiv make active use of the flanks at home, while Krylya look to hit on the counter, which tends to generate set-pieces. Matches involving both sides tend to produce a decent number of corners. The nine-corner mark was reached in Lokomotiv's last three matches this season. The main bet is Total Corners - Over 8.5 at 1.85*.
*Odds are indicative and may vary across different bookmakers.
⭐ Editor's Prediction
Lokomotiv are picking up momentum. The win over Baltika and a decent performance against Zenit showed that Galaktionov's side are gradually coming out of their difficult spell. New signings have strengthened the midfield, Komlichenko is back, and Mostovoy has added pace on the flank. Krylya are a solid opponent, but their defence is vulnerable and they are less assured away from home than they are at their own ground. The hosts' class and home advantage should count for something. The editors' prediction is a Lokomotiv win, with a scoreline of 2-1.
