FC Ufa
Russian FederationCurrent Form
FC Ufa's head coach Evgeny Kharlatev is in danger of losing his position as he struggles to get his team back on track. The squad has suffered six losses since the start of the season and currently sits just above the bottom of the league table. The primary goal for the team is to maintain their spot in the First League for the upcoming season, but they have yet to achieve this, trailing the safety line by two points. In their last match, Ufa was defeated at home by Chaika (0:1), despite playing the entire second half with an extra player. They failed to equalize, even with 19 shots taken throughout the match.
Injuries and Suspensions
Konstantin Troyanov is currently on the sidelines due to injury.

2.13Tip and bets
Considering the current form of the teams, Arsenal has a better chance of winning. The Gunners are showcasing consistent performance and remain unbeaten since the start of the new season, while Ufa appears less convincing. Despite the ambitions of the visitors' head coach Evgeny Kharlachev, we believe the Tula team will emerge victorious, outclassing their opponent.
Prediction – Arsenal to win with odds of 1.60
Bet on Team Goals
The home team has only failed to score in one match this season, while their opponent couldn't find the net in their last away game. In four out of the last five matches, there has been a goal exchange for the "Gunners," making it a reasonable bet that neither team will manage to score.
Prediction - both teams not to score at odds of 2.45
Bet on Total Goals
Clearly, Arsenal will take the initiative – the hosts need to secure three points and keep Ural at bay. Notably, the "Gunners" have finished four out of their last five matches with a total under 2.5 goals, and the visitors have done the same in their last three. We believe that today, the opponents will also struggle to surpass a total of 2.5 goals.
Prediction - total under 2.5 goals at odds of 1.57
