اورال مقابل ولگا اولیانوفسک

Ural host Ulyanovsk in round 17 of the FNL on Sunday. The hosts are third on 31 points and the visitors ninth on 22. Nizhny Novgorod lead on 43 and Sochi are second on 32, so a home win would move Ural within a point of second place. Ural have won their last two, 3-1 at Chelyabinsk and 2-0 at Sochi on 1 November, after back-to-back home defeats to Veles and Nizhny Novgorod. Martin Sekulic is their top scorer this season with six goals. Ulyanovsk are unbeaten in five, with two wins and three draws, the latest a 1-1 against Tekstilshchik on 31 October. They have conceded 23 goals in 17 games. Ural have won two of the three meetings between the clubs, including a 4-0 home win in August 2025. The other ended 0-0 in Ulyanovsk last November. Our prediction: 2-0
