Ravil Sabitov has shared his expectations of the upcoming Russian Premier League match and has tipped the Chechens to take full advantage of their home stadium
Terek Grozny have consolidated since their humiliating 5-0 defeat in the Russian Premier League against the newly promoted club, Alania Vladikavkaz, after winning five matches in a row including their shocking 2-0 win against Zenit
St. Petersburg, last week.
The Chechens, meanwhile, retained a top-spot on the league table after winning against the defending champions.
The Grozny-based club will now lock horns with Lokomotiv Moscow at Akhmad Arena (Grozny), a place where they are yet to be defeated ever since the start of the championship.
Former Dynamo Moscow man, Ravil Sabitov, has urged the Nohchi to take full advantage of their blistering home form, saying that the Railroaders will find it difficult to win the next match on the away turf.
However, the Ukrainian national warned the Chechens against Slaven Bilic’s Lokomotiv Moscow, saying that the Moscow-based club signed a decent manager this summer, who signed talented players immediately after his arrival.
The former Croatian national team manager signed the likes of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Aleksandr-Samedov-c4609, Dame N’Doye and Dario Kresic from Tottenham Hotspur, Dynamo Moscow, Copenhagen and PAOK respectively.
Cherchesov told his side that they need to understand that the Moscow-based club are enjoying a decent runoff games after winning against difficult teams like Spartak Moscow and Rubin Kazan.
“Terek and Lokomotiv both are in good shape and both teams have won their last two matches. So, I think both the team will be confident for the upcoming meeting psychologically. In physical terms, they both are in good shape.”
“But at the same time, I think Terek will win because they are atop the league table and playing at home. The Chechen can win because the fans will support their team. However, they are playing against a good team. So, any team
that will show a good game can win.” The Soviet Top League winner was quoted as saying.
Stanislav Cherchesov is facing no injury concerns at the moment while Lokomotiv are expecting http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Roman-Pavlyuchenko-c31639 and N’Doye to return for the corresponding fixture.
