Getting closer to the top teams is at stake when these two mid-table clubs battle it out. Both will be aiming to improve their league table standing, Ufa in 7th and Arsenal Tula in 8th place.
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!
It's quite the trip for Arsenal Tula when visiting Ufa as the cities are 1400 kilometers apart.
Ufa are staying put; they can neither be promoted or relegated this season and are fighting only for positions. Arsenal is no longer fighting for a cause; they can neither go up or down this season.
Ufa form and stats
Ufa have collected 20 points from their Premier League home games so far after 5-5-4.
Ufa's previous game was also a home match, the defeat 0-1 versus Dinamo Moskva (placed 6th). A 1-1 draw away before that, with Lokomotiv Moskva the opponent.
Ufa are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 15 goals in 14 games. From these home matches, Ufa have conceded only 13 goals.
Arsenal Tula form and stats
As the visiting team in Premier League matches, Arsenal Tula have produced an overall stat of 7-1-6 so far. Winning streaks in away matches are not that common, but Arsenal are close to a proper streak after winning their two previous away games.
It's the second away game in a row for Arsenal, but there's smiles all around after the 3-1 victory versus Ural (placed 11th) in the Premier League last time out. That result followed a home victory 2-1 versus Tambov.
Arsenal are scoring more than one goal per away game on average, having accumulated 16 away goals from 14 games (in the league). As opposed to that, Arsenal Tula have seen the ball go into their own net 17 times on the road.
