Ural — Volga Ulyanovsk : Match Preview and Prediction for August 25,2025

Ural’s Premier League Ambitions

Last season, Ural narrowly missed their return to the Premier League. Yet, there’s a pervasive sense that the Yekaterinburg side is on the cusp of achieving their ambition. Year after year, they consistently advance closer to their ultimate objective.

Current Season Performance: A Strong Start for Ural

The previous season saw a heartbreaking conclusion with the playoff fixtures against Akhmat. Indeed, the entire tail-end of that campaign was packed with drama. Fast forward to the current season, and Ural’s performance has been nothing short of spectacular. They notched four consecutive wins in their first four rounds. Their only recent setback was a truly unfortunate loss to Torpedo, a team known for its controversies last season, in a match played in Khimki. Despite the defeat, Ural’s head coach expressed considerable optimism, highlighting that Romashchenko’s squad demonstrably outperformed their rivals in both opportunities created and shots taken.

Volga Ulyanovsk: A Recent Promotion Story

Volga Ulyanovsk competed at a lower tier just last season. Despite this, the Ulyanovsk squad successfully earned promotion, albeit securing their spot from second place in their group. Notably, they maintained an impeccable away record throughout the previous campaign, remaining undefeated on the road.

Volga Ulyanovsk: Current Season Struggles and Recent Victory

Volga successfully retained the services of Kamenshchikov, a forward who was a sensation last season, though he’s only found the net once so far this term. The team itself finally clinched their first victory of the season in the most recent round, a dominant home performance against SKA. The Khabarovsk side appeared utterly bewildered on the pitch, failing to execute their strategy whatsoever. Belov’s squad exerted relentless pressure on their opponents throughout the encounter. However, Volga has already experienced a decisive away loss this season against Chelyabinsk, where they objectively appeared significantly outmatched.
