Command Analysis

PFC Sochi

Russian Federation

Last season Sochi got a ticket to the Conference League qualification and started the new season with a home game against Kesla Azerbaijan. Vladimir Fedotov's team defeated the visitors with a score of 3:0 and later managed to win the away game, too (4:2). Between these matches, the Leopards lost 0:1 to Nizhny Novgorod - they had to use rotation, and the team was noticeably tired.

Sochi won their first league game in the last round. The away victory over Akhmat was easily achieved, the Leopards were leading 2:0 and allowed the opponents to score a consolation goal at the very end of the game (2:1). On Thursday, Sochi came very close to defeating Partizan in the Conference League qualification. The draw still leaves them chances to advance to the next round.

Ural

Russian Federation

Ural had a really weak previous season. The Bumblebees avoided the relegation battle, but at the same time, they sent the whole season in the bottom half of the table, finishing in 12th place. In the first round of the new season, Yuri Matveyev's team looked good in the first half against Krasnodar, but they lacked endurance - the Bulls won 3: 0 in Yekaterinburg.

In the second round, Ural hosted Nizhny Novgorod and were considered the favourites. The Bumblebees scored a goal in the 32nd minute but didn't try to increase the advantage. As a result of their passivity in attack, Nizhny Novgorod scored an equalizer and the game finished in a draw. With just one point in the asset, Ural are in 14th place in the standings.

Tip and bets

1.68Handicap (+1) to Ural

Sochi had a tough, physically draining game on Thursday in the Conference League qualification. Moreover, in a few days, the Leopards will play a return match, where they will have to devote all their strength. The hosts will be forced to use rotation for the League game, and their minds will already be in Belgrade. Ural should take advantage of this and earn points. Last season, the Bumblebees scored four points in two games against Sochi.

We believe that the guests have a chance. Our prediction - Asian handicap (+1) to Ural.

3.8Draw

Sochi will not be able to give a hundred percent of their abilities in this fixture. They will also have to use rotation - the European competition at this point is more important to the Leopards. A draw would be an acceptable result for the hosts, and as for the guests, they will also be happy with one point.

Our second bet - a draw.
