Ufa U20 form and stats

There have been more unhappy faces than points at this arena so far this season, with Ufa U20 yet to win or draw a Youth League game here. The sad story at Stadion Neftyanik is: Ufa U20 played 4 games, lost 4 games. It's been an uphill battle for Ufa U20 in their home games for quite some time now, as four matches in a row are lost here. Not since the Krasnodar U20 game have they avoided the disappointment of defeat. Ufa U20 has three losses from their three previous games and the tension is increasing in the dressing room for both the manager and the players.

Ufa U20's previous game was also a home match, the defeat 0-2 versus Zenit U20. Preceding that match was a defeat to Rostov U20 (1-4).
