THE PREDICTION
The Russian Premier League concluded last season in bizarre and fairly surreal circumstances. As Russia waged war on Ukraine, following the February invasion, football in Ukraine stopped but Russia continued. Russian clubs have been banned from UEFA competitions for an indefinite amount of time and that has, as unimportant as it seems in the circumstances, killed the competitiveness and meaningfulness with little to play for between top spot and the relegation zone. So, that will have another bearing on the standard and style of these matches - and that must be noted. Following promotion last season, Fakel have started the 2022/23 campaign with no wins in their opening four matches. They have shown some attacking potential, though, with seven goals coming in those opening games. They now face a Ural Yekaterinburg side that only avoided relegation by the skin of their teeth last season and they begin this weekend’s round of fixtures sitting at the bottom-of-the-table. The visitors have lost all four games, scoring just once. Fakel, with their home advantage, will be confident of earning a win in this one.
