Ural are welcoming Tambov for another important game after their 2-0 result against Shinnik.
Ural have less rest than Tambov in this fixture, as the hosts were involved in a Russian Cup game only four days ago. At least it's nice to return home after that away game at Shinnik.
It's quite the trip for Tambov when visiting Ural as the cities are 1600 kilometers apart.
Ural form and stats
Ural's struggle is real here at SKB-Bank Arena with only 11 points collected from 11 Premier League games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 3-2-6. With three straight defeats the pressure is piling up on Ural to get some points in this home game.
Ural are returning here after visiting Shinnik in a Russian Cup game and winning with a 2-0 scoreline. Yuri Bavin scored the goal(s). Ahead of that match, Ural lost 1-2 at home to Rubin Kazan'.
There will be little rest for Ural after this match as they are travelling to Orenburg for a Premier League game in only three days.
A decent goal production from Ural in their home games so far, with 17 goals from 11 league matches. Ural have conceded 22 goals in these home games, a significant number.
Tambov form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Tambov so far with only 9 points returning home. The records show 2-3-6 (win-draw-lose). Tambov has lost their two previous away games and are eager to kill a negative trend in its infancy.
Tambov play their second straight away game, having lost the previous one 1-2 to Ufa (placed 7th). That result followed a home victory 3-0 versus Krylya Sovetov.
It's a bit worrying for Tambov that their goalkeeper Georgi Shelia made six saves in the Ufa game last time out, but still couldn''t prevent the loss. Tambov were so close to getting something from the game against Ufa, but ended up with egg all over their face after conceding the deciding goal one minutes into overtime.
A new game in only three days for Tambov, the Premier League home match versus Zenit. Busy days.
The visiting Tambov have scored more than one goal per away game in the league so far. The grand total is 11 goals from 11 games. 16 goals have been conceded by Tambov in these games.
