The season is still fairly new and the Premier League table has to be read with caution. So far Sochi find themselves in 2nd position and Ural are placed 11th.
Both teams have had enough rest since their last competitive action. Let's hope for an energetic game!
Ural have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 2700 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
