Lokomotiv’s brilliant young midfielder duo Diniyar Bilyaletdinov and Dmitri Torbinski need to set the tone of these match and they’ll have a handful with veteran Florentin Petre servicing the striking duo of Andrei Mărgăritescu and Daniel Pancu. While Spartak versus Dynamo may be the “highlight” match of the day, this should be the closest battle with some absolute brilliant match-ups of great young up and comers going against skilled veterans. Lokomotiv has shown a attacking flourish and will need to take the brakes off their exciting duo if they are to get a win today. They cannot sit-back and let Terek control play or the wiley veterans will pick them apart. Conversely all eyes should be one Florentin Petre who will orchestrate a well structured and disciplined attack.
