Lokomotiv Moscow vs Rubin Kazan
Rubin Kazana did act as a guest team to challenge the hosts of last season’s defending champions Lokomotiv Moscow in the 28th match of the Russian Premier League match day. The match was held at the RZD Arena, where this place was a place that was enough to become a nightmare for Rubin Kazan because in the 5 home meetings of Lokomotiv Moscow 4 of them always won and 1 match won Rubin Kazan.
Even not only a problem at RZD Arena, when the match in the Russian Cup then Rubin Kazan got the advantage of playing at home and precisely Lokomotiv Moscow was able to bring home full points because of a thin 0-1 win thanks to a goal from B. Hoedes in the 78th minute. Lokomotiv Moscow eliminated Rubin Kazan in the quarter-finals with a 2-0 aggregate.
But another interesting note is in their last match, Lokomotiv Mosocw and Rubin Kazan reap different results. Lokomotiv Moscow fell 2-0 when they visited Arsenal’s Tula headquarters, indeed the result was surprising because in the previous 15 matches Lokomotiv Moscow has never been defeated. While Rubin Kazan they beat Gazovik Orenburg 2-0.
Victory over Orenburg Gazovik is the result awaited by the fans of Rubin Kazan because in the previous 7 matches they have never won. But on the other hand, Rubin Kazan is still in doubt because of the record of those who have difficulty playing consistently when picking a win compared to Lokomotiv Moscow, although it is a downfall, it does not mean it is down. With home advantage and strength still better, chances are that Lokomotiv Moscow beat Rubin Kazan.
