Competition: Russia Premier League

Match begins: 17:30 (UTC)
Venue: Stadion SKA SKVO (45000 seats)

The season is still fairly new and the Premier League table has to be read with caution. So far Rostov find themselves in 9th position and Ural are placed 10th.

There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.

These teams have little in common geographically as Ural have to travel 1500 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.

Rostov form and stats

The home fans saw their team lose the first Premier League game of the season here at Stadion SKA SKVO. Last season these fans witnessed 8 wins, 3 draws and 4 losses from Rostov's 15 home games.

It's back home for Rostov, who return with a good feeling about themselves after beating Ufa away with the result 1-0. Kento Hashimoto found the net in that victory. A defeat was the result before that one, 0-2 away at Dinamo Moskva.

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

There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Rostov as they are travelling to their away game against Krasnodar in the Premier League. That match is four days after this one.

It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the Rostov at home in the league. 0 on target and 2 scored by the opposition; from 1 match.

Ural form and stats

The visitors settled for one point in their first Premier League away game of the season. During their previous season 15 away games resulted in 4 wins, 6 draws and 5 defeats.

Ural had fun at their own home (Stadion SKA SKVO) last time out, beating Krasnodar 1-0. Vyacheslav Podberezkin scored. Preceding that match was the 1-1 draw at home vs Lokomotiv Moskva.

Ural goalie Ilya Pomazun was high and low in the Krasnodar game, contributing six saves towards the victory.

Ural are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is two wins, four draws and one defeat. From a total of seven matches.

The visitors will be packing their bags again in only four days as another away game awaits: The Premier League trip to Sochi.

1 goal so far away for Ural, while their defence has allowed the opposition to score 1. All from 1 league match away.

Head 2 Head
