Season ticket holders at SKB-Bank Arena haven’t seen too many victories this season, with Ural languishing in the 11th position so far. The guesting Sochi will be hopeful to defend their higher league position in this one.
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.
Everyone involved with the away team has to get their travel gear ready for this match as there's a whopping 2700 kilometers to cover before arriving at the match.
Ural form and stats
Ural have collected 10 points from their Premier League home games so far after 2-4-2. Their last two home games have resulted in two points, meaning they were both draws.
Ural drew their last game, 0-0 away at Rotor Volgograd (placed 15th). Before that, Ural drew at home versus Spartak Moskva.
The Ural fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 8 in 8 matches. Ural have conceded 9 in these home matches.
Sochi form and stats
The story so far for the visiting team on their Premier League travels is 3 wins, 2 draws and 3 defeats.
Sochi has to pack their bags again for the second away game in a row. Last time they traveled to CSKA Moskva for a Premier League game that ended a draw (1-1). Ahead of that game was the 1-1 draw at home against Ufa.
Sochi have scored 11 goals on their travels this season, from 8 away games in the league. Sochi's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 13 goals from these trips. It's worth mentioning that 7 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 away matches.
Head 2 Head
These teams' last encounter with each other was the Sochi - Ural 0-0 earlier this season. Head-2-head stats last three meetings: one - one - one (Ural wins - draws - Sochi wins). As for goals, one match ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), two had two or less.Top Goalscorers
