Match Prediction: Chernomorets vs Ufa

Ufa’s recent draw against Torpedo, despite the latter’s current struggles, highlights their potential, as Torpedo is a respected team, generally possessing more quality than Omari Tetradze’s charges. For the upcoming fixture, Ufa is once again considered the underdog, this time against Chernomorets, who are currently rooted at the bottom of the league table. The away draw against the Moscow side ended Ufa’s run of three consecutive away defeats in the current championship, though all their opponents during that period were top-5 contenders.

Chernomorets has earned all their FNL-2025/26 points away from home. On their home turf, the team has lost all three matches, scoring only one goal. Their issues with goal-scoring could hinder Chernomorets from securing a positive outcome against their upcoming opponent. Ufa boasts the fourth most reliable defense in the tournament and the second-highest number of clean sheets (4).

My prediction: “Ufa to Win or Draw” with odds of 1.78
