It's early days in the Premier League and both Ufa and Rostov are still hoping for a flying start in order to set the tone for the season. Three points can make a big difference at this stage.
There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
It's quite the trip for Rostov when visiting Ufa as the cities are 1300 kilometers apart.
Ufa form and stats
Ufa have less points than they have played home games in the Premier League so far. Their two previous attempts here have produced 1 point.
The spoils were shared in Ufa's previous game, also at home. Visiting Spartak Moskva (placed 6th) travelled back with a draw after a 1-1 scoreline. In the game before, an away victory match versus Arsenal Tula with a 3-2 scoreline.
There will be little rest for Ufa after this match as they are travelling to Rubin Kazan' for a Premier League game in only three days.
At Stadion Neftyanik, Ufa has the goal stats of 1-4 (for/against) from 2 league fixtures.
Rostov form and stats
Rostov are doing rather OK so far in their away games in the Premier League, having played 2 games and collected 3 points (1 win, 0 draws and 1 loss).
Rostov have been frustrated by their lack of goals lately, as they haven't scored in the league since they found the net 249 minutes ago. P. Mamaev was the goal scorer.
Rostov are travelling again after losing away to Dinamo Moskva in their previous match (0-2). The game before that, was lost at home, a 0-2 defeat against Zenit.
A quick return to home after this game, as Rostov are hosting Ural in the Premier League only three days away.
It's early days yet, but Rostov has scored 1 and conceded 2 goals from their travels in the league so far (2 games).
Head 2 Head
Numbers for the last ten meetings between these two teams are: three wins for Ufa, three draws and four wins for Rostov. Over 2,5 goals: three times; under 2,5 goals: seven games.Top Goalscorers
