in the league and they need to claim three points against the Bomzhi in order to prove their stance.
“It’s nice when we take points in games against Kuban and Krasnodar, but if we want to prove that Lokomotiv are a top team, we have to compete with the leaders of our championship. If we beat them, we can compete for the highest places. Zenit have always
been strong contenders. I think it is most difficult to play against Zenit and Ruby in the championship of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/FC-Tom-Tomsk-c39228 player was quoted
as saying.

against Zenit at Lokomotiv stadium.
