Perhaps a welcome break from league football as Ufa & Ural face off to decide who makes it to next stage of the Russian Cup. All the pre-match information is available here!
Ufa form and stats
Ufa participated in Russian Cup the last season, where they reached the 8th finals.Ufa's struggle is real here at Stadion Neftyanik with only 6 points collected from 9 Premier League games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 1-3-5.
Ufa are anxiously hoping for a goal as it's been 200 minutes since the last one in league fixtures. (Scored by K. Andric).
The fans are hoping that Ufa will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 0-1 away loss in the Premier League game against Krasnodar. Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Krasnodar (0-1).
The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Ufa have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found ten matches with the results: Won two, drawn three and lost five.
Ufa have scored 8 league goals here from 9 matches, not a lot. 11 goals have been conceded.
Ural form and stats
Ural was sent out of Russian Cup in the semi-finals last season.There's been little loot from Ural's travels as they have only collected 8 points from 10 away games in the Premier League. Ural only have 1 win to counter their 4 defeats and 5 draws. Ural has drawn their two previous away games.
Ural has to pack their bags again for the second away game in a row. Last time they traveled to Tambov for a Premier League game that ended a draw (1-1). Preceding that game, the 1-1 draw paying a visit to Tambov.
So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Ural playing away and similar expectations, we found six relevant matches. Results were two Ural wins, three draws and one defeat.
The attacking power of Ural when travelling is not overwhelming with 7 goals scored from 10 league matches away. As opposed to that, Ural have seen the ball go into their own net 14 times on the road. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only -1 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 away matches.
Head 2 Head
Numbers for the last ten meetings between these two teams are: three wins for Ufa, three draws and four wins for Ural. Over 2,5 goals: three times; under 2,5 goals: seven games.Top Goalscorers
