BETCITY PARMA: The Perm team’s 5-game winning streak was snapped by Zenit in St. Petersburg. The game was on October 29, so PARMA had a rare 8-day break – a great opportunity to prepare for Uralmash. The game is extremely important. Evgeny Pashutin team is currently at 4th place with a 5-3 record. The ambitious Uralmash (4-4), which did not start so successfully, is aiming for roughly the same place. The Ural derby will bring together clubs that want to challenge the traditional favorites and claim high places. We will soon find out which of them is better prepared to accomplish these tasks right now.
Uralmash: Despite the return of injured players, Rostislav Vergun team is still searching for its best shape and team chemistry. After traveling to Moscow for the game against CSKA (-23), which the Yekaterinburg team want to forget as soon as possible, Uralmash followed up with a less than convincing home win over Samara (+7). Now Uralmash faces a trip to UDS Molot, where PARMA has not lost this season (5-0). This game could be a turning point for the team, which will try to prove the capability of tackling serious challenges.
