This is a domestic cup game in the Russian Cup where Lokomotiv Moskva host Akron. The two teams are at different levels, but a cup is a cup — one game decides it, and whoever slips up goes home immediately. Lokomotiv Moskva clearly suit a home game, and based on the expected lineup they should field their full attacking unit, while Akron must travel to face a side superior in both craft and the quality of their players. The visitors' defence will be tested hard for the full ninety minutes. If Lokomotiv Moskva control the ball and push high as planned, Akron will drop deep and wait to counter. The game should flow in one direction, but if the visitors score first, it instantly becomes hard work.
