The Premier League season is still fresh and sports bettors should be cautious. This meeting between Rubin Kazan' and Ufa promises to be an interesting one.

It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Kazan' and Ufa.

Rubin Kazan' form and stats

Rubin Kazan' have less points than they have played home games in the Premier League so far. Their two previous attempts here have produced 1 point.

Happy days for Kazan' in their previous game, a Premier League match away at CSKA Moskva (placed 8th) that ended with a 2-1 victory. Heartbreak before that as Rubin Kazan' lost 2-3 at Sochi's place.

Rubin Kazan' goalkeeper Yuri Dyupin did an outstanding job against CSKA Moskva with six saves, so vital to securing the victory. The victory against CSKA Moskva came after Denis Makarov's winning goal. The Rubin Kazan' manager L. Slutskiy was very happy afterwards with the decision to bring on that player in the 62nd minute. A late climax in the match against CSKA Moskva as the winning goal came four minutes into overtime; scored by Denis Makarov.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Rubin Kazan' have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found six games) they have won three times, drawn one and lost two.

Some members of the home team might already be thinking of their next match, the Premier League game versus Tambov in only four days. This game is also played here at Kazan' Arena.

It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the Rubin Kazan' at home in the league. 1 on target and 3 scored by the opposition; from 2 matches.

Ufa form and stats

A perfect away game record so far for the visitors in the Premier League, but they have only played once. Last season their away game stats were 3 wins, 8 draws and 4 defeats from 15 matches.

This game can not go any worse than the last one, a Premier League home defeat versus Rostov with 0-1 on the scoreboard. Ahead of that game was the 1-1 draw at home against Spartak Moskva.

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

After this away game Ufa return home for a Premier League game against Dinamo Moskva. That game is only four sleeps after this.

3 goals so far away for Ufa, while their defence has allowed the opposition to score 2. All from 1 league match away.

Head 2 Head

As for the last ten games between these two teams, there's three Kazan' victories, six draws and one Ufa win. Over/under statistics; four of these games ended with three goals or more, six matches with two goals or less.
