Nova Novokuybyishevsk - UFA Ural predictions and free betting tips [20/02/2024]

Today a Super League match will take place between Novokuybyshevsk’s Nova and Ufa’s Ural.

Nova

The team is positioned thirteenth in the league table, yet showing its character. Admittedly, they struggle against top teams, but they can certainly snatch points from their rating neighbours. In their last encounter, they put on a decent show against "Kuzbass", although they did lose 1:3. In the current season, they have chalked up 8 victories out of 23 matches

Ural

In my opinion, they are undeserving favourites in this meeting. The club is twelfth and in danger of landing in the playoffs, but it does not seem to concern them much. They outright lost their last match to the tournament’s underdog "Yugra-Samotlor" with a score of 1:3. Out of 23 Super League games, the team boasts 8 victories and has suffered 15 losses.

Head-to-head 

Since 2019, the teams have faced each other five times. Nova dominated three games (3:1, 3:2, 3:1), while Ural claimed just two (3:0, 3:0).

Match prediction and betting tips

I reckon it would be prudent to simply go with Nova’s victory at 2.06, as Ural is clearly not in its best form at the moment. One might even consider Asian Handicap -1.5 at 3.5, but that's for those who like taking risks.
