An important duel in the bottom section of the Premier League, with both Khimki and Ufa experiencing more worry than joy. This match is a classic "six-pointer" with the home team placed 11th and the visitors in 16th place.
- Khimki is in the best form (5-1-0)
- Ufa has the most conceded goals (31) in Premier League
Khimki and Ufa should both be in good shape for this meeting, as there's been enough days for both of them to train and rest since their last matches.
Ufa have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 1300 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
Khimki form and stats
Overall Premier League stats at home this season for Khimki are 5-1-4 (wins-draw-losses). Ever since the Zenit game Khimki has been unbeatable here at Arena Khimki producing four straight wins.
Khimki's previous game was also a home match, the defeat 0-2 versus Krylya Sovetov. Ahead of that match, Khimki won a home game hosting Lokomotiv Moskva (3-2).
The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Khimki have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found seven matches with the results: Won three, drawn one and lost three.
The Khimki fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 12 in 10 matches. Khimki's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 12 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.
Ufa form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Ufa, who have the most conceded goals (31) in Premier League, so far with only 7 points returning home. The records show 2-1-7 (win-draw-lose). The travelling fans think it's time that their travel expenses are covered with some points now, as Ufa have lost on their last two travels.
Ufa are looking to quickly end their 200 minutes long goal drought in the Premier League.
Ufa lost away at Krasnodar (0-1) in their previous game and are perhaps starting to feel homesick. Prior to that match, the Ufa manager R. Rakhimov faced defeat when travelling to Krasnodar and losing 0-1.
As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found ten similar matches played by Ufa in our archives, and the results are: three wins for Ufa, four draws and three defeats.
After this away game Ufa return home for a Russian Cup game against Ural. That game is only four sleeps after this.
The attacking power of Ufa when travelling is not overwhelming with 6 goals scored from 10 league matches away. The Ufa manager R. Rakhimov has some worries about the defense as 20 goals have been conceded in these travels. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 2 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 away matches.
