Former Lokomotiv goalkeeper Ilya Abaev shared his thoughts on the team's prospects in the new season of the Russian championship. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
According to him, the Lokomotiv team has not significantly strengthened, so the fight for the championship will be difficult. However, the team will strive to secure a place in the top five by the end of the season.
There is also a possibility of entering the top three. Based on last season's results, Lokomotiv collected 53 points in 30 matches in the Russian Premier League, finishing sixth in the team rankings.
In the first round of the new season, Lokomotiv will face Sochi. The match will take place on July 19 and will start at 18:00 Moscow time.
This game will be one of the team's first tests of the new season. Exciting and challenging matches lie ahead for the team's fans.
