Team News

Lokomotiv Moscow
Akron Togliatti
  • Former Russia U21 internationals Artyom Timofeev and Anton Mitryushkin joined the club this summer. Forward Dmitry Vorobyev has also moved to Cherkizovo after being FC Orenburg’s top scorer last season.
  • Attacking midfielder Anton Miranchuk left Lokomotiv Moscow after spending 13 years at Cherkizovo and is now looking for a new club.
  • Albanian defender Mario Mitaj is back from international duty and will probably be ready to help his team out here.
  • FC Akron signed several players this summer, including Portuguese defender Rodrigo Escoval, Brazilian defender Paulo Vítor and Serbian midfielder Aleksa Djurasovic.
  • Maksim Kuzmin joined the club from FC Baltika, which ended up being relegated last season, while Vladimir Moskvichev has joined the Tolyatti outfit from Torpedo Moscow on a season-long loan.
  • FC Akron will play in the Russian Premier League for the first time in their history. The club was only founded six years ago.

Prediction

  • Lokomotiv lost several important players this summer, but they are playing at home and are certainly favourites to get the three points here.
  • FC Akron are hoping for a good start in their first season ever in RPL, but the team is still lacking fire power in the attack front. The newcomers will be fishing for points next time out.
