Chelyabinsk and Ural 2 have both delivered a "par" performance so far, to use a golfing expression. Both hold mid-table positions in the Pfl.
Both teams have had enough rest since their last competitive action. Let's hope for an energetic game!

Chelyabinsk, who have the most points (15) at home in Pfl, have performed here at Stadion Central'nyj this season with 5 wins from 7 Pfl matches. Some points have been lost, as they have drawn 0 games and lost 2.

Chelyabinsk's last game was hosting Lada Tolyatti (placed 15th) and winning 7-0.
As mentioned above, Chelyabinsk "killed" Lada Tolyatti in their previous game. They need to reset completely for this one and beware of complacency.

Ural 2 form and stats
The story so far for the visiting team on their Pfl travels is 2 wins, 2 draws and 2 defeats.
Ural played 2-2 against Lada SOK in their previous match. Ahead of that match was the away draw versus Zenit Izhevsk that ended 1-1.
It looked so good for Ural vs Lada SOK, but the job was not completed and victory was lost as a 2-0 lead was turned into a 2-2 draw. As mentioned above, Ural 2 drew the match against Lada SOK. Manager D. Klyuev brought on E. Tatarinov to rescue the draw from a losing position and it worked.
Ural has displayed an ability to score goals in away matches in the league this season, 9 goals from 6 games. Ural 2's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 11 goals from these trips.
Head 2 Head
