FC Ural will be looking to snap a four-game winless run when they host the newly-promoted PFC Sochi in the Russian Premier League at Central Stadium of Yekaterinburg, on Monday night.
The 1-3 home loss to Krylya Sovetov was Ural’s 2nd consecutive defeat and 3rd in the last four games. Winning twice in the opening two games looks a thing of a distant past, and the reality is that the Ural are slipping down the order with each passing week.
That said, the game against PFC Sochi is a perfect opportunity for manager Dmytro Parfenov to guide his team back to the winning ways.
The visitors are only one of the two teams not to win a match in the Russian Premier League this season. However, Sochi have managed three consecutive draws, including two 0-0, which should give them some belief for their next game.
Match Details:
The Russian Premier League match will be played between FC Ural and PFC Sochi at Central Stadium of Yekaterinburg, in the city of Yekaterinburg in Russia. The ground has a capacity of 35,061. The game will start at 08:30 PM (IST), on Monday, August 26.

Captain and Vice-Captain Selection:
Eric Bicalfi: Hasn’t scored in the last three league games, but the 31-year-old is clearly the most dangerous players in this team. For he can be decisive with his passing, while his goal-scoring abilities can’t be questioned either.
This season:
Vladimir Iljin: He has been registering some serious stats this season, despite featuring mainly from the bench. Go with him in your Dream11 team.
More options:
Dmitriy Poloz: Scored the equalizer in the last game, his first goal of the season. Overall he had a fantastic game, giving both Shakhov and Sivakov many nervy moments in the match.
With the goal drought finally ending, the 28-year-old will be brimming with confidence.
Last season:
Christian Noboa: The engine of the team. A provider, good tackler with the passing range which makes him one of the standout players in this team.
Surely, Ural must have worked out some plan for him, because the 34-year-old can dictate the proceedings from the midfield.
