Since the beginning of the second part of the season, the Lokomotiv Moscow led by coach Nikolic has recorded all victories in all 9 games in all competitions. In those 9 games, Lokomotiv conceded only 3 goals and their great defence is the key to their success. Kamano is in great shape and has finally started to score goals and with him, Lokomotiv is currently the best team in Russia.

Now they are waiting for the semifinals against the city rival CSKA and I think they are big favourites in this match. Fans are allowed in Russia, so Lokomotiv will have the great support of its fans, who are one of the loudest in Russia. The host defeated Rostov 4-1 in the last round, it was another brilliant game and the result could be much higher. CSKA lost the last match against Sochi away 2-1 and they didn't play the best game, Sochi dominated the whole game and they deservedly won. CSKA expect two very important matches in 4 days because after Lokomotiv they are playing another derby against Spartak.

The guests are in big trouble because as many as 5 players from the defence do not have the right to play in tomorrow's match. CSKA started the season well, but since December they have not played very well and are struggling against rivals who are much weaker than Lokomotiv. The host is in great form and I think it is a very good bet to play here that Lokomotiv will not lose the game. I expect a tough game with few goals and a 1-0 victory for Lokomotiv or a draw. Lokomotiv is undefeated in the last 3 games against CSKA and all 3 have won so I expect a similar scenario tomorrow.

My prediction: Lokomotiv not to lose

自本赛季第二阶段开始以来，由教练尼克里奇（Nikolic）带领的莫斯科火车头在所有比赛中均取得了全部9场比赛的全部胜利。在那9场比赛中，只丢了3个球，而他们出色的防守是取得成功的关键。卡马诺状态良好，终于开始进球，火车头目前已成为俄罗斯最好的球队。

现在他们将面对同城对手莫斯科中央陆军，我认为他们是这场比赛的赢球热门。俄罗斯允许球迷入场，因此火车头将得到球迷的大力支持，而这是俄罗斯最好的球迷群体之一。在上一轮比赛中，火车头以4-1击败罗斯托夫，这是另一场精彩的比赛，结果可能差距更高大。中央陆军以2比1输掉了对阵索契的最后一场比赛，他们没有打出最好的比赛，索契在整个比赛中占据了主导地位，他们理应获胜。 CSKA希望在4天之后有两场非常重要的比赛，他们将对阵另一个德比对手莫斯科斯巴达克。

客队遇到了很大的阵容问题，多达5名防守球员无权参加明天的比赛。陆军的赛季开局很好，但是自12月以来，他们的表现一直不佳，并且正在与很多比火车头实力弱的对手交手时苦苦挣扎。主队的状态很好，我认为是本场最好的选择，火车头不会输掉比赛。我认为这是一场艰难的比赛，进球会比较少，主队以1-0获胜或者最终打平。主队在最近3场对陆军的比赛中保持不败，并且3场都赢了，所以我预测这场也是类似的情况。

预测：莫斯科火车头不败
