Carrying a 2 point edge in the league standings, Spartak Moskva fans want to see their beloved team win maximum points from this match vs Ufa.

Insights:
  • Spartak Moskva have the most matches under the total-line (5) in Premier League
  • Ufa have the most scored goals in the second half (10) in Premier League

Ufa could be less fresh than the hosts in this fixture, as they played a Russian Cup game only three sleeps ago. That game was also an away game, at Legion Dynamo. It will be interesting to see if they are fully ready and rested for this match, and/or if some changes in the lineup is necessary.

These teams have little in common geographically as Ufa have to travel 1300 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
