Ufa vs Spartak Moscow Prediction

The two sides are in almost identical form, although Ufa are more in need of the points to avoid dropping into the relegation zone. A defeat for Spartak Moscow could also leave them eerily close to the drop and the capital side will want to avoid this situation.

Although one side could nick the win, we are backing both teams to cancel out one another in a low-scoring draw.

Prediction: Ufa 1-1 Spartak Moscow
