Ufa form and stats

The story so far in the Premier League for Ufa at their home stadium is 2 wins, 4 draws and 3 defeats. When Ufa hosts teams that live in the bottom of the table (like Rostov, Ufa, Arsenal Tula, Ural and Khimki), they have won 1 of 2 matches! Regardless of arena the trend is looking very unhealthy for Ufa with their four defeats in a row. Not since the Spartak Moskva game, 102 days ago, have they avoided a loss.

Ufa lost their last game at Zenit (placed 1st) after a 0-2 scoreline. Midfielder Fishchenko was the best player on the team with a rating of 7.35 (out of ten) in that game. Fishchenko hit one key pass and had 21 successful passes (of 24 total).

A defeat was the result before that one, 1-2 away at Akhmat Grozny.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Ufa have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found four games) they have won two times, drawn one and lost one.

The Ufa fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 11 in 9 matches. Ufa have conceded 12 in these home matches.
