- The draw or Ural double chance is the recommended bet here, but there is also a possibility for a narrow win for the away side.

Prediction
- These two sides are very evenly poised and another draw seems the most likely outcome, although this could also go the way of the visitors on the day.
- In the matchup of two of the divisions' most in-form sides, there is a feel of a tactical clash with Ural's high-tempo transitions set to test Spartak's solid block.
- Roman Berezovskiy has the hosts in a compact 4-2-3-1 which is disciplined in defence and can be patient in build-up when required.
