Ural battle Krasnodar for acclaim and sporting success.

Everyone involved with the away team has to get their travel gear ready for this match as there's a whopping 2500 kilometers to cover before arriving at the match.

There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.

Ural form and stats

Miskic was the last player to score a league goal for Ural and it's becoming a more and more distant memory as Ural haven't scored in 237 minutes.

Ural are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 0-3 away versus Orenburg. Pomazun had a busy but productive day in the Orenburg match. Despite making six saves the loss could not be prevented. Kuzmichev, defender, was given a rating of 7.22/10 in that game, top of the team. Kuzmichev won 5 of 5 duels.

Prior to that was the away defeat visiting CSKA Moskva (0-2).

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Ural have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found 8 matches with the results: Won 3, drawn 3 and lost 2.

Krasnodar form and stats

Krasnodar failed to get anything from their last game, a home match vs Spartak Moskva (placed 2nd) that ended with defeat 1-4. Spertsyan got a match rating of 7.11 in that game, top player of the team. Spertsyan scored one goal, hit one key pass and dribled past the opponent 3 of 5 times.

Ahead of that game was the 2-2 draw at home against Fakel.

As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found 9 similar matches played by Krasnodar in our archives, and the results are: 4 wins for Krasnodar, 2 draws and 3 defeats.
