___________________________________________________________________

The draw against Besiktas stopped a series of 4 wins in a row for Lokomotiv, who now have to face Rostov in the Monday night of the Russian Premier League. 

Rostov can be considered without any doubt one of the most surprising teams of the season. Thanks to Kurban Berdyev, the 'Selmashi' made a big step forward that let them to return fighting for an European spot as happened under Bozovic. 

In this moment, Rostov are ranked fourth, which is the last place that qualify for the Europa League 2016/17. A victory against Lokomotiv would guarantee them a great confidence. In particular, we should underline the great job done by Berdyev, who first saved Rostov from the relegation last season and then helped them to return to the elite of Russian football. 

No wonder when some Russian journalists compared Rostov to Lokomotiv. The 'Selmashi' usually play a pragmatic football characterized by a solid defense and many good counterattacks. The squad is made up by some players that made their fortune thanks to the former Rubin head coach: Cesar Navas, Noboa, Bukharov. Furthermore, the team can also rely on a bunch of good players like Gatskan, Kanga and Kalachev. We shouldn't forget Mogilevets and Poloz, both are two good talents and soon they could join a Russian top tier. 

Here we are with the latest news. On the one hand, Cesar Navas will miss the match after he received his 4th yellow card of the season against Mordoviya. On the other hand, Gatskan has recovered from his injury and he's ready to take part in the game. 

Kalachev said: "Lokomotiv have played a very good football so far. It's always difficult to face them in Moscow. They've got many strong players. Furthermore, in this moment they are the second force of the Russian Premier League and they have also provided very good performance in the Europa League. Everything will depend from us. We'll do our best."

Lokomotiv, instead, can't rely again on Pejcinovic and Tarasov. They were replaced by Mykhalyk and Kolomeytsev against Besiktas and we think Cherevchenko will confirm them. The only changes can concern the attack's group. The Tajik coach should give Niasse some rest, while Kasaev and Miranchuk could take the place of Maicon and Fernandes. 

If you ask us, this game will be tougher than the one against Besiktas. Rostov can really make in trouble Lokomotiv with the Berdyev's tactics. We should only hope Cherevchenko has better prepared the game.
