Lokomotiv Moscow vs Spartak Moscow Prediction

For this Russian Cup fixture we go with Over 2.5 goals for Lokomotiv Moscow vs Spartak Moscow, at 80% confidence. In their last 5 matches, Lokomotiv Moscow's games produced 2.6 goals on average, 3 of them over 2.5. Spartak Moscow's games averaged 1.8, with 2 of 5 over the line. Form on its own doesn't settle this one: 5 of the 10 recent games went over 2.5, which is worth keeping in mind before backing Over 2.5.

The head-to-head points the other way: only 1 of their last 5 meetings finished over 2.5 goals. Older meetings say less about how these teams play now, so recent form counts for more in our numbers. At 80%, most of the recent evidence lands on this side of the line, which makes it one of our stronger calls. Final score: 0-1. The pick lost.
