Defeated 2-1 by league leaders Zenit the last time around, Samara have now slumped to three defeats in a row, form hardly worthy of a side trying to wrench out of the quandary of the bottom two. The result left them two points behind 16th placed Grozny with the side set to see its arduous schedule extend today when it comes across second placed Lokomotiv Moscow.

The side for once managed to give a good account of itself, making things jittery for the top placed side, an electric showing which they’ll be looking to reverberate through their ranks when they go visiting Lokomotiv Moscow today.
Probable Winner
Defeating Ruben Kazan 2-0 in their most recent outing, Lokomotiv Moscow are manging to do a really sound job of snapping at Zenit’s heels. While there is still a 7 point gap between the two sides, Lokomotiv Moscow are assiduously leaving no stone unturned to make a late surge towards the much coveted spot.
And their steady source of points will continue unabated today with the side engulfing its rapturous supporters in unbridled joy with a clinical win against the bottom placed side.

LOK Vs KSS Dream11 Picks
Goal-Keeper
When you manage to restrict Zenit to just the two goals despite being part of a horrendous defence, there has to be something special about you. And Evgeni Frolov showed why he’s held in such high esteem with the goal-keeper manging to knock some sense into his side’s defence with a performance that saw him bridge the gap for his side in defence.
Defenders
Lokomotiv Moscow’s entire resurgence has been a direct result of their fortitude and soundness in defence. The team has completely transformed itself as a backline, a side which has kept three cleansheets on the spin including the four in their last five encounters.
This is a rejuvenated side, a team which has found it extremely easy to coax its way the cleansheets, a discourse which made it prudent of us to indulge in the four defensive options from the side. Vladislav Ignatijev, Maurilio Cerqueira, Maciej Rybus and Vedran Corluka are all going to be inducted into our Dream 11 docket from the home side owing to the aforementioned narrative.
Midfielders
Despite playing in a more backwards role, Grzegorz Krychowiak has shown the sprawling skill set he’s bestowed with. The midfielder has not let his position in the CDM role affect his penchant for regularly cantering up the park with the player pulling off a staggering 9 goals to sit atop of the side’s scoring ranks this season.
He’s partnered up by Aleksei Miranchuk who has the 8 goals and 3 assists to his name with the two players seeing the side erupt in unbridled joy with their attacking facet. On the other hand, the 18th placed side will se 7 assist man Anton Zinkovskiy become the first pick from the side with the player having acted as the fulcrum of the side’s attacks with his 7 assists.
With two goals, Paul Anton joins him up from the side along with Artiom Timofeev to wrap up our trio of picks from Samara and complete our four selections from the side.
Strikers
Scorer of the five goals in this edition of the campaign, when Eder Lopes takes on a waning and lax defence, he’s set to take that tally up to see us make him our striker for the imminent affair.
Captain And Vice-Captain
His 11 goal contributions make Aleksei the captain for the day while Krychowiak is the vice-captain.
