Ural form and stats

With 4 Premier League wins, 1 draw and 8 defeats from their home games, Ural are certainly not brimming with confidence. Three consecutive losses here at Ekaterinburg Arena is hard to swallow for the home team. Both players, staff and the home crowd are desperate to get something from this match.

The Ural coach Goncharenko and his team return home after a 0-0 draw away versus Olimpiyets (placed 14th). Defender Begić got the top score of the team in the match with a rating of 7.45/10. Begić won 3 of 7 duels.

Ahead of that match, a home loss in the Russian Cup against CSKA Moskva.

The manager Goncharenko will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Krasnodar in only four days.

The Ural fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 14 in 13 matches. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Ural defense is not exactly impregnable. 22 goals conceded from 13 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.
