Nikolay Naumov, the former president of Tashkent's "Lokomotiv" team, shared his thoughts on the match between "Lokomotiv" and "Sochi" in the first round of the Russian Premier League. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
According to him, "Lokomotiv" will win the opening game of the season with a score of 2:0. Naumov emphasized that head coach Galaktionov has been given a new opportunity to prepare the team, and he must justify this trust.
Therefore, the coach needs to have the team play actively and show good results. Last season, "Lokomotiv" finished sixth in the league table, while "Sochi" ended up fourth in the first division of the Pari-league and then defeated the "Pari NN" team in the playoffs.
The match between the teams will take place on July 19. This encounter is highly anticipated by fans.
Both teams are eager to showcase their strength in the new season.
