The league table in Premier League tells a story about these teams so far, with Rubin Kazan' leading Ural by 9 points. Match preview to follow:
- Rubin Kazan' have the fewest conceded goals in the second half (1) in Premier League
- Ural have the fewest scored goals (2) in Premier League
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
These teams have little in common geographically as Ural have to travel 900 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
Rubin Kazan' form and stats
Seven points from three Premier League home games is a great start for Rubin Kazan', who are hoping to build on that form here at Kazan' Arena.
Kazan' are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 0-2 away versus Krasnodar. Montassar Talbi, defender, was given a rating of 7.13/10 in that game, top of the team. Talbi hit one key pass and won 4 of 4 duels.
Preceding that game was the away draw at Khimki that finished 1-1.Rubin Kazan' has scored 4 league goals at home this season, in 3 matches. From these home matches, Rubin Kazan' have conceded only 2 goals.
Ural form and stats
It's not happening yet for Ural on their Premier League travels, with zero points from their first 2 away games. Maybe today will be different? The travelling fans think it's time that their travel expenses are covered with some points now, as Ural have lost on their last two travels.
Ural's last game ended in a draw, the home match versus Rostov that finished 1-1. Midfielder Danijel Miškić was the best performer of that match, with a rating of 8.05. Miškić served one assist, hit one key pass and had 43 successful passes (of 49 total). Ilya Pomazun had red hot gloves after the game against Rostov, shaping the outcome of the game with six saves made. As mentioned above, Ural drew the match against Rostov. Manager I. Shalimov brought on Artem Maksimenko to rescue the draw from a losing position and it worked.
A 0-1 loss hosting Dinamo Moskva before that.It's early days yet, but Ural has scored 0 and conceded 3 goals from their travels in the league so far (2 games).
Head 2 Head
Numbers for the preceeding ten meetings between these two crews are: three wins for Kazan', four draws and three wins for Ural. Over 2,5 goals: three times; under 2,5 goals: seven games.Top Goalscorers
