Match Prediction: Chayka vs Ural

Chayka’s Current Situation

The Peschanokopskoe side continues to display surprising form. Dmitry Kombarov’s men have remained unbeaten in three consecutive league matches, even managing to take points from quite formidable opponents. It’s difficult to definitively say whether these improved results are due to the team’s own enhanced performance or simply a fortunate turn of events. However, it’s worth noting that in the Russia FNL 2025/26 season, the club has yet to secure a home win (2 draws, 4 losses), and Chayka has conceded a significant 16 goals during this period at home.

Ural’s Recent Performance

The Yekaterinburg team is currently experiencing a slight downturn, having secured only one victory in their last 6 First League matches. Nevertheless, the team continues to pose significant problems for opposing defenses. During this spell, only Rotor, who boasts the league’s tightest defense, managed to truly contain Ural’s attack. Miroslav Romashchenko’s charges urgently need a positive result in the immediate future, and recovering from their thrashing in the last round would also be highly beneficial for team morale. Away from home, the club has notably avoided defeat in 5 of their last 7 previous league games (4 wins, 1 draw), and they also managed to take points from Peschanokopskoe last season (1:1).

My prediction: Ural to not lose and Total Goals Over 1.5 with odds of 1.40
