Krasnodar hosts Ufa in round 19 of the Russian Premier League. The match will be played on Thursday, December 17th at Krasnodar Stadium (Krasnodar)
Krasnodar rewrote its history this fall. The Bulls are a project that is developing and progressing. On the second attempt, the team got the opportunity to debut in the main round of the Champions League. It turned out more than worthy - the only victory for all Russians in the group stage, four points scored in matches with Rennes, dramatic meetings with Sevilla, and a 1-1 draw in the last match with Chelsea in London. Most importantly, Krasnodar took third place in the quartet and got the right to participate in the Europa League. However, the team is sinking in the RPL. There were even five defeats in seven rounds. Only in December, the Bulls managed to rectify the situation. They managed to destroy an outsider Rotor Volgograd and strong Lokomotiv with the same 5:0 score!

Ufa is fighting for survival. The Citizens” have to fight not only with opponents but also with the referees. Recently, they have become victims of a scandal in which Kazartsev became the main "hero." Instead of a penalty awarded against Rotor (and, most likely, a yellow card, which would have become the second for Mikeltadze), the referee did not find grounds for punishment even after reviewing the moment, but soon he sent Morozov off. As a result, Ufa lost to a direct competitor (0-1) and remained in 14th place. However, Rashid Rakhimov's men showed good football in previous meetings. If a 4-0 victory over Tambov can be attributed to the situation of an opponent who is on the verge of extinction, then, on December 6, the club managed to defeat the ambitious Rostov on its field. Andric scored the only goal in the 70th minute, and this was already the third goal for Komnen, who came from Dinamo Zagreb this fall.
If we look at the last seven head-to-head meetings, Krasnodar won five times, while the Citizens gained only one victory. The Bulls won in Bashkiria four times in a row, and the last game ended with a 3-0 score. However, Ufa earned points in three meetings before the last defeat in Krasnodar. It is unlikely that the Bulls will win 5-0 for the third time in a row. However, they are much stronger, so you can bet on their victory with a -1 handicap.
Prediction for the match: Krasnodar to win with -1.0 handicap
