On Friday, the fifth round of the Russian Premier League will open with one match, in which Voronezh "Torch" will play at home with Yekaterinburg "Ural". We bring to your attention the forecast for this duel of outsiders.
"Torch"
"Torch" at the start of the championship earned a lot of flattering words about his game with exorbitant dedication, which compensated for the lack of players in individual skill against stronger opponents. Voronezh players drew with Krasnodar on the road (2:2) and lost to Akhmat (1:2), after which they pulled out a draw with Dynamo at home (3:3). In the last round, Oleg Vasilenko's team won the first half, but the gasoline ran out and it lost in Moscow to CSKA (1:4).
"Ural"
The first change of the head coach in the RPL took place in the Urals, which is not surprising, because Yekaterinburg remains the only team without points scored in the championship. The Uralians first lost dry on the road to CSKA (0:2) and Orenburg (0:3), after which they were weaker at home than Krasnodar (1:3) and Spartak (0:2). The bosses of the club did not continue to trust Igor Shalimov, having dismissed him. Evgeny Averyanov, who has been working as an assistant in the coaching staff of the club for more than ten years, became the acting head coach.
Statistics and figures
- Fakel has not won a single match this season (2 draws + 2 defeats);
- In all four matches of the "Torch" this season, the bet was "Both teams will score + Total more than 2.5";
- Fakel has a 6-match unbeaten streak at home (4 wins + 2 draws);
- Ural has never lost in full-time matches to Fakel in history (6 wins + 2 draws);
- Ural has lost all 4 matches this season with a total score of 1:10;
- In eight of the last ten matches of Ural, the Total bet was more than 2.5;
- Ural has won only 2 matches out of the last eight away matches, losing 5 times.
Forecasts
It is difficult to expect a special surge on the part of Ural – after all, no one is talking about the chance of Evgeny Averyanov to remain as head coach - the management is actively looking for a new specialist for this position. But the Yekaterinburg team was still not so bad, despite 4 defeats, rather, bad luck is to blame for everything here, which can stop at any moment. "Torch" started the season too abruptly in terms of dedication, so fatigue accumulated quickly enough, and Oleg Vasilenko does not have a special clip. "Ural" will be able not to lose here at least.
