Ural Preview – Can Ural chalk up first win?
Following a 2-0 defeat at home to Dinamo Moscow on the opening day of this new Premier League season along with last week’s 1-1 draw on the road at Rubin Kazan, Wednesday’s hosts, Ural, are still searching for their first win of the new term but they’ll be up against stiff competition here.
Overall, it’s now five matches without a win in the Russian top flight for Ural as they suffered three defeats on the trot at the end of the last campaign to Krasnodar, Arsenal Tula and Wednesday’s opponents, Lokomotiv Moscow, while results at home have also been a concern.
Ural have registered just two wins out of their last 11 matches at their Ekaterinburg Arena which were victories over Tambov and Dinamo Moscow but eight defeats within this period show why Ural are expected to be amongst the teams fighting against relegation in this season’s Premier League campaign.
Lokomotiv Moscow Preview – Can Lokomotiv Moscow maintain 100% record?
Two wins out of their opening two matches of this new Russian top flight season has given Wednesday’s visitors, Lokomotiv Moscow, the perfect start to their campaign following victories over Rubin Kazan 2-0 away from home and a 1-0 home win against Krasnodar.
It’s now a sequence of 13 matches without defeat in the Premier League for The Railwaymen who are also unbeaten in their last six matches on their travels too which includes wins at Rostov, Rubin Kazan, Ural and again at Rubin Kazan, while the bigger picture paints an even more impressive outlook as Lokomotiv have lost just one of their last 15 matches on the road.
Therefore, Lokomotiv Moscow will be in confident mood ahead of this clash and having won the previous three encounters on the trot against Ural, the visitors will be eyeing off another three points on Wednesday afternoon.
