I will go againsy the money.
Yes Loko is poor. But their squad is equal to Spartak. They have Loskov, Bilaletdinov, O'Konnor, Ivanovich. They are headed by Slavolub Muslin. So they had enough strenght to beat Spartak. And one more thing. Spartak is poor too =) They draw 1-1 with Luch with late equalizer and showed poor football, so the don't deserve to be such a favorite here.
PS Loko haven't lost to Spartak since 2001 =)

My pick Lokomotiv 4.0 at Sportingbet all above 3.6 is value
AH pick Lokomotiv(+0.5) 1.8 at 5Dimes should be +0.25

Saturn - Dinamo
I continue to bet on Saturn. As I've predicted they got points from Zenit, but they played even better than I expected. They outplayed(!) Zenit and as you know from UEFA cup Zenit is on a good run themself.
Dinamo bouhgt many strong players but they need time to get together. And as I saw from their 1st game (vs Shinnik 1-1) they still had problems with teamplay.
So I do not see Dinamo as favorite in this game.
I think fair odds for home win 2.1 - 2.2. So all ober 2.50 is good value
My pick Saturn 2.7 at Gamebookers all above 2.5 is value
AH pick Saturn(0) 1.88 at 10bet should be 1.7

Cheers Mr. I, excellent post I think thats a meaty price on Loko, so I`ll join you on that. Saturn is one to consider as well.

Come on jeleznodorojniki!

P.S. One thing to ask is this Vischaya Liga, or Cup games?

Welcome Nile, nice preview

These is the Russia cup game, just wondering how motivated are the teams for this cup.

Thanks Prinze, well since it is a cup game we have to look what squads are gonna be fielded.

Just read that Loko misses 4 players Sennikov, Sychev (important ones)Khad and Maminov.
Bistrov, Rodrigez and Titov of Spartak not fit and in doubt as well.

So amazed to see that they run S.League betting on the net overseas...


Anyway, thanks for all the tips this past few weeks so I hope this helps a bit

S.League

Gombak vs Balestier

Many expected Gombak to be the whipping boys this season and they might yet be. But I've seen them once against defending S.League and South East Asian champions and they look not too bad. They are a young, fit team and they are quite keen. Their new foreigners are young, spritely and fight for the cause. Gombak lack a bit of class but overall I do not expect them to get thrashed.

Balestier are the only team I haven't watched this season but their line up in the attacking third looks very strong indeed. They actually have three strikers, two Africans and a Japanese. I saw them in past seasons and they are good.

Their fourth foreigner is a Japanese holding cum play-making midfielder and he is very decent. Their defence is weaker than last year though. I don't know why their coach persists in using their present keeper who is among the shakiest I have seen in the league. The reserve is much better.

Ordinarily I would say Balestier should win but reports from their last match said they were shaky in defence and subdued even in attack. Looking at the Balestier line-up, their strikeforce should be good for a few goals so if you have over you can try. I must warn though that the Gombak defence looked quite tight. It may well depend on who scores first.

I'm wouldn't be dumping my family fortune on this match but I hope info helps.
