FC Sochi hosts Ural on 1 November 2026 at 17:00 in the First League. Sochi has won four straight matches, most recently beating Tekstilshchik 3–1 with Mikhail Ignatov scoring twice and Zakhar Fedorov converting a penalty. The club has settled into First League football after relegation from the Premier League and sits among the division's strongest performers under Igor Osinkin. Defender Marcelo Alves anchors a defence that has kept Sochi competitive at the top of the table.
Form and H2H
Sochi's last ten matches show seven wins, one draw, and two losses at home, averaging 1.50 goals for and 1.00 against. Ural's away record over the same span is five wins, two draws, and three losses, with 1.60 goals scored and 1.10 conceded per game. The head-to-head record between the sides is split. Sochi won 2–0 in August 2021 and 2–0 in August 2022, but Ural took 2–0 victories in August 2022 and won 3–2 in October 2022. Two matches ended level: 0–0 in August 2020 and 1–1 in November 2021.
Best bet
Sochi does not lose. The home side's recent form, defensive stability, and four-game winning streak make them the safer play in this fixture. Ural's away record is mixed, and Sochi's control at the Fisht has been consistent enough to back them to avoid defeat.
