The first defeat in the calendar year happened at Zenit. But this is not a reason to ask serious questions. I think this will be important in the context of the Champions League and the big checks. Here – what happened and what happened. I think Zenit will not worry too much about this.
As for Lokomotiv, the situation here is much more painful: 2 defeats in a row against Spartak and Akhmat. And the harsh reality: without Miranchuk and Barinov, the team is completely different. And it seems to me that Nikolic still has an element of panic, because he rushes about.

In such a situation, it is much easier to imagine Lokomotiv’s third defeat in a row than Zenit’s second in a row. I think that Zenit will win this game, and will win quite confidently. These are difficult times, and there is a very important pause ahead for Lokomotiv. I take F2 (-1).
