Lokomotiv have been very impressive in a difficult group this season. Despite slotting last in their group's Champions League standings, they have managed to draw against Atletico and Salzburg with 3 draws and 2 losses to their name. With 3 points, the Russian outfit currently sit at the bottom of Group A with just a point difference from Salzburg.
