Read on for our free predictions and betting tips.
Ural
Ural finished last season in twelfth position, so in principle, the main objective this season will be to earn enough points to keep them in the first division.
Despite being a lower-middle ranked team, Ural finished the previous season without conceding too many goals – 36 goals in 30 matches.
In their two meetings last season, Ural did not lose, winning one and drawing the other.
Krasnodar
Despite the terrible season Krasnodar suffered last year, the goal for this season will be at least to qualify for the European places. They are a modern team with a large financial capital who should be striving for the top spot every season.
Despite finishing tenth last season, Krasnodar were the third highest-scoring team in the league, an indication of their attacking prowess.

Ural vs Krasnodar Predictions
Both teams’ pre-season have shown that Ural are in better form than Krasnodar, who have not won a single match. The match is also played at Ural’s home ground, and Krasnodar seem to be continuing the poor form with which they ended last season, although their squad is far superior to the Ural team. Given these circumstances, a draw seems a likely result in this match.
