Челјабинск против Урал

Chelyabinsk host Ural in the FNL with the two clubs in very different parts of the table. After 13 matches Ural are fourth on 25 points, while Chelyabinsk sit 11th on 15. That is a gap of ten points, and it frames this one as a test of whether the hosts can drag themselves up the standings. Ural's record reads seven wins, four draws and two defeats, with 21 goals scored and only 8 conceded. The latest defeat was a 1-2 loss to Veles on 10 October. Chelyabinsk have won four, drawn three and lost six, with a goal difference of 17-21. They have taken 7 points at home and 8 away. The recent meetings favour the visitors. Ural won 2-1 in Chelyabinsk in April 2026, after leading at half-time, and beat the same opponents 1-0 in November 2025. Our prediction: 1-2
