This match features two teams living in the basement of the Premier League, Ural holding 12th place and Akhmat Grozny lying 11th. A good chance for both teams to improve their position.
- Ural have the fewest matches over the total-line (8) in Premier League
- Akhmat Grozny have the fewest dropped points from leading position (0) in Premier League
Akhmat Grozny could be less fresh than the hosts in this fixture, as they played a Russian Cup game only three sleeps ago.
Akhmat Grozny have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 2600 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
Relegation threatens Ural who should definitely be looking for some points here. Akhmat are still fighting for the big positions at the top of the table.
