On October 17, the match of the 11th round of the Russian Premier League will take place, in which Ural Yekaterinburg will play at home with CSKA Moscow. The forecast for this match is given by the well-known in the past midfielder of Spartak Moscow, Spanish Celta and the Russian national team Alexander Mostovoy.
Uralians harnessed for a very long time at the start of this season, being unable to win in the first eight rounds of the RPL. But in the last two rounds, the Orange-Blacks were able to beat Arsenal at home (2-0) and Ufa away (1-0), which allowed them to get out of the direct relegation zone.
After the matches played on Saturday, the Army men occupy the fifth place in the standings, and if they win in Yekaterinburg, they will be able to reach the third place immediately. Before the October break, Alexey Berezutsky's team coped with a difficult calendar, beating Spartak in the derby (1-0), gaining the upper hand away from the unyielding Nizhny Novgorod (2-0), and also drawing at home with Krasnodar (0:0).
The statistics of full-time matches with CSKA at Ural are depressing – the bumblebees have not been able to defeat the Army men since 2009. Muscovites, of course, are the favorites in this match, but Alexander Mostovoy still does not believe in the victory of CSKA, which has enough "collections", so Alexey Berezutsky's team may be somewhat unbalanced in this meeting. "Ural" also had the opportunity to systematically prepare for this match with the whole squad for two weeks.
