FC UFA hosts Spartak Kostroma on 15 November 2026 at 14:30 in the First League. UFA plays at the Neftyanik stadium and enters as home favorites. UFA have lost just once in nine home league matches this season, while Kostroma arrive winless in six of their last ten games across all competitions. UFA have never lost to Kostroma in their last five official meetings.
Form and H2H
UFA lost 1–2 away to Shinnik on 7 November, extending a run of three straight matches without a win. A 0–0 draw with Rotor and a 0–1 defeat to Nizhny Novgorod preceded that loss. At home, UFA concede fewer than 1.5 goals in nine of their last ten league matches. In eight of their last ten First League games, UFA score a maximum of one goal, averaging 1.7 goals per match overall.
Kostroma suffered a heavy 0–4 home defeat to Nizhny Novgorod on 8 November. They have scored fewer than 2.5 goals in ten consecutive matches across all competitions. In eight of their last ten league games, Kostroma also score a maximum of one goal, with an average total of 2.3 goals across those ten matches.
In six of their seven most recent head-to-head meetings across different seasons and competitions, both teams combined for fewer than 2.5 goals. Low-scoring results are the norm between these sides.
Best Bet
Under 2.5 is the play. UFA average 1.7 goals per match and Kostroma 2.3 across their recent league runs, yet both teams rarely exceed one goal in individual games. Their direct history shows six of seven recent meetings finished under 2.5. At 1xBet, the pick sits at 1.55 against Over 2.5 at 2.35. Defensive vulnerabilities exist—UFA conceded four to Nizhny Novgorod and Kostroma shipped four to the same side—but both teams lack the attacking threat to produce a high-scoring contest.
Odds to Watch
In the 1X2 market at 1xBet, UFA win trades at 2.61, the draw at 3.17, and Kostroma win at 2.86. UFA's home record and unbeaten run against Kostroma make the home win attractive, though the draw remains a realistic outcome given both teams' recent form. Kostroma's 0–4 loss last time out reflects defensive chaos rather than sustained attacking threat, making their 2.86 price less compelling than UFA's 2.61.
