Izhstal IzhevskForecast: "Southern Urals" has the advantage over "Olympia" due to better form and consistent play. "Olympia" is facing problems in defense, which could impact the outcome of the match. Despite this, the home arena may give "Olympia" additional motivation and support from the crowd. However, it is more likely that "Southern Urals" will come out on top due to their quality and experience.
The Southern Urals and Olympia show themselves strong in defense but struggle with attacking. A tough and low-scoring game is expected where goalkeepers will make many saves. Both teams display similar results, so the likelihood of goals scored is low. Considering these factors, it is assumed that in the match Southern Urals - Olympia, there will be fewer than 4.5 goals scored.
Based on the current form and statistics, I think "Yuzhny Ural" has the advantage in the match against "Olimpiya." The Orsk club looks more composed and strengthened, showing good performances in previous matches. On the other hand, "Olimpiya" is experiencing problems in attack and is inconsistent away from home. Considering "Yuzhny Ural's" home advantage and better results in previous encounters, they are likely to win with a score of 2-0 or 2-1.
