Season ticket holders at Akhmat Arena haven’t seen too many victories this season, with Akhmat Grozny languishing in the 11th position so far. The guesting Ural will be hopeful to defend their higher league position in this one.

We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!

It's quite the trip for Ural when visiting Akhmat as the cities are 2600 kilometers apart.

Akhmat Grozny form and stats

Akhmat Grozny have played three Premier League home games so far, perhaps enough to set expectations for the season. In that case, only 3 points from these matches could be a signal of rough times ahead. With three straight defeats the pressure is piling up on Akhmat to get some points in this home game. Akhmat are very eager to stop a potential losing streak at Akhmat Arena, having lost their two previous games here.

Stress levels are on the rise for Akhmat's attacking players as they have now played 302 minutes without scoring in a league game. B. Berisha was their last goal scorer.

Akhmat lost their last game at Dinamo Moskva (placed 6th) after a 0-1 scoreline. In the game before, an away victory in the Russian Cup match versus Znamya Noginsk with a 3-0 scoreline.

The defeat against Dinamo Moskva was especially painful as the deciding goal against was scored one minutes into stoppage time (by I. Ordets).

The home team are moderate favourites in this game. How does Akhmat handle that role? We have found five games in our database similar to this one, based on the home odds. The stats for these games are zero wins, five draws and zero defeats.

Akhmat are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 3 goals in 3 games. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 5 goals have been conceded.
