UFA vs LOK Dream11 Prediction: Ufa will continue their tough schedule at the start of the 2021/22 Russian Premier League season with the third consecutive match against the Moscow opposition. This time they play host to Lokomotiv on Friday afternoon at BetBoom Arena. Both CSKA Moscow and Dinamo Moscow had too much for the leaky defense of Ufa’s in the opening two rounds.
Back-to-back defeats to kick off their season means Ufa come into this on an already difficult situation and the home team will also be missing Ruslan Fishchenko. The defender was red carded in his team’s 3-2 home defeat to Dinamo Moscow last week. They now come up against a Lokomotiv Moscow side that have won both of their games so far having scored more than two goals per game but they have managed to concede two, as well. That lack of overarching defensive quality would suggest Ufa will be confident of notching like they did in their 3-2 loss last week but the visitors will remain favourites so an away win and both teams to score appears to be a very solid bet for this one.
Date: 6 August, Friday Time: 7:30 PM (IST) Venue: BetBoom Arena, Ufa
