Saratov vs Ural Prediction & Betting Tips (15 October)

It would be fair to say that Saratov have been struggling on their own patch of late, with eight of their previous ten Russian Cup fixtures ending in defeat, and they are currently on a run of four games without a goal as well. Ural had not been in great form on the road themselves prior their next match, but they had still only lost once in seven.

Saratov have not been involved in too many thrillers recently, with seven of their previous nine Russian Cup matches producing a maximum of two goals. This has also been the case in 13 of the last 18 Ural away games at the top table of the Russian Cup, so defences should be on top when the two teams lock horns with one another.

Over the course of their last 21 away matches in the Russian Cup, Ural have been involved in just five contests in which they have both scored and conceded during the same 91 minutes. What’s more, 13 of the previous 18 Saratov games at this level have seen at least one of the two sides pitch a shutout, so it would come as a surprise to see both teams score.
