This match features two teams living in the basement of the Premier League, Ufa holding 11th place and Sochi lying 16th. A good chance for both teams to improve their position.
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
It's quite the trip for Sochi when visiting Ufa as the cities are 2200 kilometers apart.
Ufa form and stats
When playing at home in the Premier League, Ufa have managed 4 wins, 2 draws and suffered 3 defeats from 9 games. Two draws in a row at home now for Ufa.
Ufa drew their last game, 0-0 away at Orenburg (placed 7th). Preceding that game was the home draw versus Lokomotiv Moskva that ended 1-1.
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 9 in these home matches.
Sochi form and stats
Sochi have only collected 9 points from their away games in the Premier League, after 2-3-4 (9 played). Recent form does not give Sochi much hope, as the visitors have lost three games in a row. Ufa will be a tough nut to crack.
Sochi failed to get anything from their last game, a Premier League home match vs CSKA Moskva (placed 4th) that ended with defeat 2-3. A 1-2 loss hosting Tambov before that.
Sochi goalkeeper Soslan Dzhanaev had a great day against CSKA Moskva, but despite making 6 saves the loss could not be avoided.
Sochi have scored 9 goals on their travels this season, from 9 away games in the league. As opposed to that, Sochi have seen the ball go into their own net 13 times on the road.
