Match Preview
Temp Barnaul will face Uralets NT in the Russian Cup on Thursday, 7 August, with kickoff scheduled for 13:00. Both teams have struggled in recent matches, with Barnaul recording two draws, a loss, and two more defeats in their last five outings, while Uralets has managed just one draw and four losses in the same period. This poor form suggests that neither side is in peak condition, which could lead to a tightly contested match.
A notable aspect of this fixture is the historical head-to-head record, which shows no wins for either team in their last ten encounters, with only one draw and limited goal-scoring action. The lack of victories and the tendency for low-scoring matches—evidenced by just one instance of over 2.5 goals—indicates a potential for another closely fought game with few clear chances. Given the current form and the stakes of the cup, expect a cautious approach from both sides, making a low-scoring affair likely.
