Week 2 features a match on Sunday Jul 24th, where Locomotiv Moscow will play host to Rostov in a meeting of these two Premier League teams. Weather on match day is looking like a cloudy but warm day with daytime temperatures of 24 degrees, which should make for a nice day for football. In their last match, Locomotiv Moscow recorded a 1-1 draw against FC Nizhny Novgorod. Wilson Isidor struck first for Locomotiv Moscow in the 52nd minute on a feed from Anton Miranchuk, then Vyacheslav Krotov got the equalizer for FC Nizhny Novgorod in the 70th minute on a feed from Kalinsky earning them at least the one point. Locomotiv Moscow looks to improve on their recent performance, having lost 0 of their last 10, while in their last match, Rostov recorded a 1-1 draw against Dinamo Moscow. Vyacheslav Grulev scored the first goal for Dinamo Moscow in the 16th minute, then Nikolay Komlichenko tied it up for Rostov in the 68th minute earning them at least the one point. They’re hoping to improve on their recent performance, having earned only 10 points in their last 10 matches.
These two teams have not yet played each other this season, so it will be interesting how the match turns out. Last season Rostov won the head to head battle with 2 wins.
Dmitri Poloz and Roman Tugarev are the top scorers for Rostov in the last 5 matches, but unfortunately they only have one goal. It’s hard to imagine having success with those stats. Locomotiv Moscow hasn’t been successful in netting any goals lately. Their top scorers in the last 5 matches are Anton Miranchuk and Gyrano Kerk, and they each have 1 goal.
