📊 Form Guide

Sochi

DDDDDW 🤝

Sochi, who won their previous game, will hope for a similar result following the 1-0 Premier League triumph against Spartak Moscow.

In that match, Sochi had 48% possession and 9 attempts at goal with 4 on target. The scorer for Sochi was Yahia Attiat-Allah (76'). For their opponents, Spartak Moscow had 12 attempts at goal with 4 on target.

Robert Moreno's Sochi have hit the back of the net 8 times in their last six outings. The corresponding number of goals that they have conceded in that time stands at 7.

Ural

LLLDLW

Ural come into this match following a 2-1 Premier League win against Dynamo Moscow in their previous outing.

In that game, Ural managed 45% possession and 14 shots at goal with 6 of them on target. For Ural, the goals were scored by Danijel Miškić (10') and Aleksey Kashtanov (95'). On the other side, Dynamo Moscow had 8 attempts on goal with 2 of them on target. Konstantin Tyukavin (34') scored for Dynamo Moscow.

The strike force from Ural have suffered from a shortage of goals over their last 6 encounters, recording the unsatisfactory return of just 4. In those fixtures, Bumblebees have also seen the collective goal tally of opposing teams equal 10. Nonetheless, time will tell whether that trend will continue on here in this match.

Ahead of this clash, Ural haven’t won away from home in the past 9 league matches. It's not a good run at all.

🤜🤛 Head to head

Checking out their prior head to head duels going back to 29/11/2020, it’s been all-even between these two clubs with Sochi winning 2 of those games, Ural 2 and 2 being drawn after 90 minutes of play.

In all, 15 goals were produced between them in this period, with 9 of them for Belo-sinie and 6 belonging to Bumblebees. The average number of goals per game works out to 2.5.

The last league clash between these sides was Premier League match day 12 on 22/10/2023 when it finished Ural 1-4 Sochi.

That day, Ural managed 55% possession and 13 shots on goal with 2 of them on target. Their only player on the scoresheet was Andrei Egorychev (38').

Sochi had 9 shots on goal with 7 on target. Kirill Kravtsov (15'), Nikita Burmistrov (17'), Martin Kramarič (34') and Ivan Ignatjev (88') scored.

The match was refereed by Vladimir Moskalyov.

📋 Team News: Sochi

It’s our opinion that Belo-sinie look set to make use of the 4-2-3-1 formation in the match featuring Nikolay Zabolotnyi, Kirill Zaika, Marcelo Alves, Vanja Drkusic, Yahia Attiat Allah, Ignacio Saavedra, Kirill Kravtsov, Martin Kramarič, Artur Yusupov, Aleksandar Jukic and Saul Guarirapa.

📰 Team News: Ural

Out of a mainly full-strength group of players, there is only the lone fitness issue for the Ural boss Viktor Goncharenko to be concerned with. Vladislav Malkevich (Muscle injury) won’t be playing here. Aleksey Kashtanov is ineligible for this match because of suspension.

We’re of the thinking that Bumblebees will likely utilise a 3-4-3 formation, giving starts to Ilya Pomazun, Silvije Begic, Ítalo, Egor Filipenko, Denys Kulakov, Timur Ayupov, Danijel Miskic, Igor Dmitriev, Ilya Ishkov, Eric Cosmin Bicfalvi and Aleksey Ionov.

🧠 Prediction

We’re of the opinion that Ural will have their work cut out to be putting a goal past this Sochi side who we reckon should be able to get on the scoresheet themselves in a winning performance.

We’ve gone for a very even contest with a 1-0 winning score for Sochi at the end of the 90.

Should be interesting.
