Command Analysis

Zauralye Kurgan

Current form
The current championship is not going very well for the Kurgan club. The team is in the zone of 16 best teams, but the position is not entirely confident. From the start of the championship, the team, in principle, shows a good game and fights with opponents on equal terms, but in some moments does not use the created scoring chances and thus loses points. The last game against Diesel was the third in a series of away games, and the team could not justify the hopes of fans and bookmakers. The club earned one point and suffered a defeat to the Penza club with a score of 1:2 after a series of shootouts. The game before, the Kurgan team emerged victorious in the match against Kristall, beating the opponent from Saratov (4:3 B). Zauralye won six victories in the last 10 games, and the team has had many wins this season - 24 victories. The club was able to score 118 goals and missed 108 goals. As a result, Artem Sedunov’s team has 53 points, 16th place in the tournament table, and the gap from those catching up is only additional indicators.
