All you need to know about the Ural - Rostov game:

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.

It's quite the trip for Rostov when visiting Ural as the cities are 1500 kilometers apart.

Ural form and stats

As mentioned below, Ural are feasting on a winning streak here so far with maximum points from their first 2 games. Hopes of three in a row are alive for Ural after consecutive victories at their own ground.

In their previous game, the manager D. Parfenov led his Ural to a defeat in the Premier League match away at Dinamo Moskva. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Ekaterinburg Arena. Before that, Ural had a home game versus Akhmat Grozny which ended with a victory 3-0.

Early season goal statistics from Ural's 2 home games: 6 goals, 2 conceded.

Rostov form and stats

A perfect away game record so far for the visitors, but they have only played once. Last season their away game stats were 4 wins, 5 draws and 6 defeats from 15 matches.

It's the second away game in a row for Rostov, but there's smiles all around after the 3-2 victory versus Arsenal Tula in the Premier League last time out. Preceding that match was the 2-2 draw at home vs Spartak Moskva.

It's early days yet, but Rostov has scored 3 and conceded 2 goals from their travels so far (1 game).

Head 2 Head

Ural-Rostov H2H statistics last ten meetings regardless of arena: Ural 1 win, Rostov 6 wins, 3 draws. 2 of these ten matches had three or more goals (over 2,5).
