📊 Lokomotiv Climb the Table
With this fourth win in five games, Lokomotiv:
Strengthens its position among the top four in the Russian Premier League.

Temporarily sits above some of their more illustrious city rivals.
🏟️ Another Derby Ahead
The Moscow derbies continue:
CSKA Moscow, runners-up last season and fresh from a stunning 2-1 Champions League win over Manchester City, are next on the radar.
