On Wednesday, starting at 16:30, the Lokomotiv – Ural game will be played in the final of the Russian Cup, the 2018-2019 edition.
Moscovici did not win 3 games with Yekaterinburg, but Ural’s success in Moscow, 2-1 this season, is the only one of the last 9 straight encounters.
Lokomotiv is with TSKA, the most conquered trophy in the Russian Cup, 7 in number. The last of them, produced in the 2016-2017 season, right in front of Wednesday’s Ural opponent. Former Yuri Semin will probably finish second in the domestic championship after losing the trophy to Zenit St. Petersburg champion.
Ural returned to meet Lokomotiv on May 19, finishing a match without a stake, score 2-2, just before the end of the Russian Cup. Dmytro Parfenov’s team returns to the final of this competition after two seasons in which he will meet the same opponent. Ural, the 11th place in the domestic championship, is able to score in front of any team, not being a band that “closes” too much.
Eric Bicfalvi has received a red card in the semi-final with Arsenal Tula, which will make him ineligible for the last act. However, it is difficult to believe that Lokomotiv will miss the trophy, even if Ural will score on the scoreboard.
PREDICTION: Lokomotiv Moscow to win @ 1,67
