National cups are something special for many teams and supporters. Today's match will decide whether it's Fakel or Ural that keep their silverware dream alive.
Everyone involved with the away team has to get their travel gear ready for this match as there's a whopping 1800 kilometers to cover before arriving at the match.
Fakel form and stats
Last season their FNL Cup adventure ended in the 11th place final.With 1 FNL win, 5 draws and 7 defeats from their home games, Fakel are certainly not brimming with confidence. Fakel are slowly digging their own grave here with the depressing streak of not having won a home game in eight attempts. The last victory here came in the Mordovia Saransk match.
The Fakel crowd went home unhappy last time out, seeing their beloved players lose 0-2 to Olimpiyets here in a FNL match. Before that, Fakel played out a FNL draw 1-1 when visiting Mordovia Saransk.
Fakel are traveling soon after this match as the FNL Cup match at Rodina Moskva awaits in three days.
Fakel have scored 4 goals here in 13 league matches, a depressing statistic. On the other hand, Fakel have conceded 18 goals.
Ural form and stats
Nothing but glory last season for Ural, as they won the FNL Cup.The visitors are W3-D4-L2 on the road this term. That's in the Premier League. The away team travel with confidence. Not since the Lokomotiv Moskva game have they lost an away game, meaning Ural has taken points from seven away matches in a row.
Two travels in a row for Ural, whose manager D. Parfenov could celebrate last time after the Premier League win against Krylya Sovetov. Preceding that game was the away Premier League victory against Krylya Sovetov with the score of 3-2.
A new game in only three days for Ural, the FNL Cup home match versus Khimki. Busy days.
Many goals are not expected from the visiting Ural as they have only managed to score 8 times from 9 away games in the league. Ural have conceded 11 goals in these away matches.
Head 2 Head
Numbers for the last three meetings between these two teams are: zero wins for Fakel, zero draws and three wins for Ural. Over 2,5 goals: three times; under 2,5 goals: zero games.Fakel missing players
