Ufa form and stats

Things could have gone better for Ufa in their Premier League away matches, but 3 points from 2 games is all right.

Ufa might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Krylya Sovetov proved too strong as Ufa slumped to a 1-2 defeat in front of their own fans at Stadion Neftyanik. Bojan Jokić, who plays in defense, got the "man of the match" on his team with the rating 7.3. Jokić hit two key passes and won 8 of 10 duels.

Preceding that match was the 1-1 draw at home vs Zenit.

It's early days yet, but Ufa has scored 2 and conceded 2 goals from their travels in the league so far (2 games).
