Sochi vs Ulyanovsk Prediction & Betting Tips (16 October)

Ulyanovsk recent away form leaves a lot to be desired, with the team in claret and blue suffering nine defeats in 13 League One trips. Promotion-chasing Sochi seem to have come through what was a sticky period, winning two of their previous three matches at this level, including a win success during their past games.

Since losing home, Ulyanovsk have been involved in 37 consecutive top-flight away games in which three goals or fewer have been netted. Although Sochi cannot compete with the consistency shown by their visitors, it is true that 16 of their last 20 matches at the top table of the Russian Cup have also been of the under 3.5 goals variety.

Sochi home games in the Russian Cup have certainly been full of excitement recently, with both teams on target in 11 of their previous 16 encounters. Ulyanovsk are no strangers to hitting the back of the net on their travels either, doing so in 17 of their last 19 trips at this level, so goals are expected at both ends when the sides lock horns.
