An important duel in the bottom section of the Premier League, with both Ufa and Tambov experiencing more worry than joy. This match is a classic "six-pointer" with the home team placed 16th and the visitors in 14th place.
- Ufa has the most conceded goals (29) in Premier League
- Tambov have played more matches over 2,5 goals away than home.
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.
These teams have little in common geographically as Tambov have to travel 1100 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
Ufa form and stats
With 0 Premier League wins, 3 draws and 5 defeats from their home games, Ufa, who have the most conceded goals (29) in Premier League, are certainly not brimming with confidence. All in all it has been a very rough period for Ufa who hasn’t won a league-game in their last 13 attempts. Their previous win was against Arsenal Tula, 106 days ago. Ufa are slowly digging their own grave here at Stadion Neftyanik with the depressing streak of not having won a home league game in eight attempts. The last victory here came in the Krasnodar match.
The Ufa fans got no joy from their last match, a Premier League game also here at Stadion Neftyanik: A 1-2 defeat against Khimki (placed 12th). A 1-1 draw away before that, with Sochi the opponent.
This is expected to be a close game, with Ufa perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Ufa as a small favourite), we find ten games. Ufa has won two of these, drawn three and lost five.
Ufa has huge difficulties finding the net and are scoring on average only once per two home matches in the league: 4 goals from 8 games. It's worth mentioning that 2 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. On the other hand, Ufa have conceded 11 goals.
Tambov form and stats
There's been little loot from Tambov's travels as they have only collected 5 points from 7 away games in the Premier League. Tambov only have 1 win to counter their 4 defeats and 2 draws. Three has not been a lucky number for Tambov as they have been defeated three times in a row since the Ural match.
Tambov have been frustrated by their lack of goals lately, as they haven't scored in the league since they found the net 206 minutes ago. G. Onugkha was the goal scorer.
There might be some fixture complaints from Tambov as they are again playing away from home after losing on the road in their previous match, the Premier League match against Krasnodar (0-1). A loss against Akhmat Grozny was the result prior to that, in a home game.
It's a bit worrying for Tambov that their goalkeeper Sergey Ryzhikov made seven saves in the Krasnodar game last time out, but still couldn''t prevent the loss.
So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Tambov playing away and similar expectations, we found four relevant matches. Results were zero Tambov wins, one draw and three defeats.
Many goals are not expected from the visiting Tambov as they have only managed to score 6 times from 7 away games in the league. Tambov have conceded 10 goals in these away matches. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 1 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 away matches.
Head 2 Head
The two sides played each other earlier this season: Tambov - Ufa 2-0. Numbers for the last three meetings between these two teams are: one win for Ufa, zero draws and two wins for Tambov. Over 2,5 goals: two times; under 2,5 goals: one game.Top Goalscorers
