This match features two teams living in the basement of the Premier League, Ural holding 12th place and Ufa lying 15th. A good chance for both teams to improve their position.
- Ufa have the fewest clean sheets (3) in Premier League
It's no vacation for neither Ural nor Ufa as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
Ural form and stats
Ural have played 9 Premier League games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 3-4-2 (wins-draws-losses). With three draws from their last three games overall it has been a case of neither great nor terrible for Ural.
The home team returns to Ekaterinburg Arena after being equal after 90 minutes with Ufa (placed 15th) on their last time out; the Russian Cup game ended 0-0. A 2-2 draw away in the Premier League before that, with Krasnodar the opponent.
The Ural fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 9 in 9 matches. 9 goals have been conceded.
Ufa form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Ufa, who have the fewest clean sheets (3) in Premier League, so far with only 7 points returning home. The records show 2-1-8 (win-draw-lose). Recent form does not give Ufa much hope, as the visitors have lost three games in a row. Ural will be a tough nut to crack. Three consecutive losses in away matches means Ufa are growing more and more desperate for a good performance on the road.
Ufa delivered a 0-0 draw playing at home against Ural (placed 12th) in their previous match; a Russian Cup game. Preceding that game, the 1-2 loss visiting Khimki's place.
Many goals are not expected from the visiting Ufa as they have only managed to score 7 times from 11 away games in the league. Ufa have conceded 22 goals in these games.
Head 2 Head
The most recent history between these sides is the Ufa - Ural 1-2 played earlier this season. Last ten meetings between the teams: Ural won four, Ufa won three and three draws. three games with over 2,5 goals, seven matches with two goals or less.Top Goalscorers
