It's early days in the Premier League and both Ural and Lokomotiv Moskva 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.
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Ural and Lokomotiv Moskva.
Everyone involved with the away team has to get their travel gear ready for this match as there's a whopping 1700 kilometers to cover before arriving at the match.
Ural form and stats
The home fans saw their team lose the first Premier League game of the season here at SKB-Bank Arena. Last season these fans witnessed 5 wins, 2 draws and 8 losses from Ural's 15 home games.
Ural drew their last game, 1-1 away at Rubin Kazan' (placed 12th). Ahead of that match, Ural lost 0-2 at home to Dinamo Moskva.
Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Krasnodar are coming to town in three days.
At SKB-Bank Arena, Ural has the goal stats of 0-2 (for/against) from 1 league fixture.
Lokomotiv Moskva form and stats
A perfect away game record so far for the visitors in the Premier League, but they have only played once. Last season their away game stats were 9 wins, 4 draws and 2 defeats from 15 matches.
Did you know that the longest clean sheet streak is 1816 minutes? This record is held by Mazaropi when he played in Vasco da Gama. Lokomotiv goalkeeper Guilherme Alvim Marinato is eager to challenge this, with his 289 minutes of keeping balls out from the net.
Impressive finishing from Aleksey Miranchuk secured the home win 1-0 against Krasnodar in their previous game. Preceding that game was the away victory against Rubin Kazan' with the score of 2-0.
Lokomotiv has another fixture away, a Premier League game, against Spartak Moskva in just four days. A tough schedule for the visitors!
Lokomotiv Moskva have the goal stats of 2-0 (for/against) from 1 business trip in the league at this early stage of the season.
