Tambov are welcoming Ural for another important game after their 0-1 result against 9th-placed Rubin Kazan'.

Insights:
  • Tambov is in the worst form (0-0-6)
  • Ural has the most matches under the total-line (12) in Premier League

This should be an interesting game with lots of spark and energy as both teams are well rested since they last saw competitive action. Game on!

Ural have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 1600 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.

Tambov form and stats

With 2 Premier League wins, 1 draw and 6 defeats from their home games, Tambov are certainly not brimming with confidence. Regardless of arena the trend is looking very unhealthy for Tambov with their six defeats in a row. Not since the Ural game, 54 days ago, have they avoided a loss. Three consecutive losses here at Mordovia Arena is hard to swallow for the home team. Both players, staff and the home crowd are desperate to get something from this match.

The Tambov crowd went home unhappy last time out, seeing their beloved players lose 0-1 to Rubin Kazan' here at Mordovia Arena in a Premier League match. Heartbreak before that as Tambov lost 1-5 at Spartak Moskva's place.

Tambov aren't scoring a lot here at Mordovia Arena in the league, with only 5 goals from 9 games. Tambov's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 9 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.

Ural form and stats

There's been little loot from Ural's travels as they have only collected 6 points from 8 away games in the Premier League. Ural, who have the fewest scored goals (4) away in Premier League, only have 1 win to counter their 4 defeats and 3 draws. Ural has lost their two previous away games and are eager to kill a negative trend in its infancy.

Ural are travelling again after losing away to CSKA Moskva in their previous match (0-1). Preceding that game, the 1-5 loss visiting Zenit's place.

There's been a serious shortage of goals from Ural's away games in the league this season with only 4 goals from 8 matches. Ural have conceded 11 goals in these away matches. It's worth mentioning that 6 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 away matches.
