Tambov has improved since the coach, Alexander Grigoryan, has left. Since then the team has won three times - against Ufa, Sochi and Rostov. However, continuing the winning row might be very challenging. Despite the pause, which had some of Lokomotiv's players exhausted, Yuri Semin's crew remain to be the favourite. The guests are more likely to win, even if they couldn't win in five RPL rounds. Still, one shouldn't expect a prolific match: Lokomotiv is not in shape, while Tambov will try its best to hunker down. The total of less than 2 is expected.
