Novosibirsk form and stats

21 points is a decent return from 9 Pfl games here for Novosibirsk. The data says 6 wins, 3 draws and 0 losses. Novosibirsk has won so many consecutive home games (five in a row) that they struggle to remember the last time points were lost here. We remember; it was KAMAZ.

Novosibirsk are anxiously hoping for a goal as it's been 232 minutes since the last one in league fixtures. (Scored by S. Kositsin).

Novosibirsk are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 0-4 away versus Zenit Izhevsk. Prior to that was the away defeat visiting KAMAZ (0-1).

As you see from the result above, Novosibirsk suffered greatly in their last game. Thankfully the team has a new chance to prove themselves in this one.

There's a new fixture coming up fairly quickly for Novosibirsk, as the Pfl home game vs Chelyabinsk is only three days away.

Novosibirsk can score goals in their home matches. After 9 league matches they have found the net 18 times. It's worth mentioning that 9 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. From these home matches, Novosibirsk have conceded only 7 goals.

Ural 2 form and stats

There's been little loot from Ural 2's travels as they have only collected 8 points from 9 away games in the Pfl. Ural 2, who have the fewest clean sheets (0) away in Pfl, only have 2 wins to counter their 5 defeats and 2 draws. Three consecutive losses in away matches means Ural are growing more and more desperate for a good performance on the road.

Ural might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Zvezda Perm proved too strong as Ural 2 slumped to a 1-3 defeat in front of their own fans. A 1-2 defeat away at Tyumen before that.

There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Ural manager D. Klyuev as the team has another away game coming up in only three days, this time against Dinamo Barnaul.

Ural have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 9 league away games 11 goals have been scored. For Ural, more than two goals on average per game end up in their own net.

Head 2 Head

These teams' last encounter with each other was the Ural 2 - Novosibirsk 1-1 earlier this season.
