Struggling Ural will be hoping to pull off an upset when they welcome high-flying Lokomotiv Moskva in the upcoming league round. It’s 11th vs 2nd and the home crowd will have moderate expectations.
We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
It's quite the trip for Lokomotiv Moskva when visiting Ural as the cities are 1700 kilometers apart.
Ural can neither be promoted or relegated from Premier League. Lokomotiv are still fighting for top positions and their benefits.
