Sochi - Ural predictions

Though Sochi are more likely to win this, an away win would only be slightly surprising. It’s a relatively balanced matchup, which usually means we’ll see some exciting football.

An away win in this match would be a huge surprise and an equally big achievement for Ural who could consider themselves fortunate if they run away with a point in the bag.

Sochi must be feeling confident after the performance they gave the fans at Olimpiyskiy Stadion Fisht during the second half of the last round’s match. Despite the very difficult matchup against Spartak Moskva and mediocre first half, they nabbed a narrow 1:0 home win in the end.

Top online bookmakers expected Ural to lose their previous Premier League match even though they played as the hosts. Defying the 2.07 betting odds, they ultimately won the bout 2:1 after a draw at halftime, indicating a stronger form than bookies give them credit for.

The last 3 away games Sochi played ended in stalemates. Hopefully, they’ll muster a better performance this time around.

Considering they conceded more than 5 times in their latest 3 home games, there’s not a lot of confidence in Ural and their defenses. Hopefully, they’ll somehow do better as visitors.

It will be interesting to see if Ural manage to beat this odds in this, the second clash with Sochi this season. The first time around they lost with to a 1-point difference.

Sunday's match will see both teams at full strength, able to utilize all their players.
