Perhaps a welcome break from league football as Volga Ulyanovsk & Ural face off to decide who makes it to next stage of the Russian Cup. All the pre-match information is available here!
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Ulyanovsk and Ural.
These teams have little in common geographically as Ural have to travel 1000 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
Volga Ulyanovsk form and stats
Last season their Russian Cup adventure ended in the 3rd round.Volga Ulyanovsk has recorded two wins in a row here, increasing their hopes of victory in this match.
Volga Ulyanovsk manager R. Aitov and his team return home after a 0-0 draw away versus Lada SOK in the Pfl. In the preceding match a 3-0 victory visiting Lada Tolyatti.
Some members of the home team might already be thinking of their next match, the Pfl game versus Nosta in only three days. This game is also played here.
Ural form and stats
Ural's mission in Russian Cup last season failed in the 8th finals.The Premier League season is young and Ural have only just started going through their travel schedule, with 3 away games done and still no victory. 2 draws and 1 defeat so far.
The supporters enjoyed Ural's previous game versus Khimki, a Premier League 3-1 win played at home. Preceding that game, the 0-0 draw paying a visit to Sochi.
After this away game Ural return home for a Premier League game against Zenit. That game is only three sleeps after this.
Ural are seemingly not capable of scoring regularly on their travels in the league. They have only managed 1 goal from 3 away games. Ural are defending well in their away games, having conceded only 2 times in 3 matches. For more goal statistics, check out the Statistics tab above.
