After a 100% perfect Sunday run, we continue with tricky Russia, so caution advised.

With the football schedule packed in weeks to come, I am aiming to post picks on a daily basis to provide as high volume as possible.

As for the game in context, these are some generous odds for the home win, considering what a mess Ural is this season.

The club went almost literally inactive through the entire transfer window, despite obvious issues in a number of compartments, especially in the final third of the pitch. Basically, they have overweight Panyukov, who can never make it past the 60 minute mark and aging, rapidly declining veteran Bicfalvi. Alternatives are either players used out of primary position, if moved to centre-forward role, or too inexperienced at this level.

Midfield and defense are simply not good enough either. Last minute additions of centre-back Mamin and fullback Goglichidze are not going to solve Ural’s problems. Both are players of 2nd Division level.

Earlier in the season the club had a change of manager going for a speculative figure of Igor Shalimov, who had never been a “crisis manager”. The team has shown no reaction to his arrival, earning 1 fortunate point in 3 games - in the last round before the international break against Rostov (1-1).

Rubin has had a short-term decline in form and results, but still sit inside the European cups zone in 5th. They’ve been unable to win for 3 in a row, however, one of the main reasons for it was the absence of 2 key figures - striker Despotovic and winger Kvaratskhelia. The big news before the Monday face-off is the availability of both. They were training during the week and are expected to be involved in the game. Rubin is dependent on these 2 more than any other club in the Premier League is dependent on 2 individuals. Amongst other good news in favour of Rubin’s success vs. Ural is the last week signing of Danish winger Anders Dreyer from Dutch champions Midtjylland. A big transfer for a relatively adequate fee of 7.0m EUR. 23 year oldDreyer has the qualities to be an instant hit with Rubin. 3 goals + 5 assists in 6 Superligaen games this season speak for themselves.

There are plenty of hefty arguments suggesting Rubin should be taking 3 points on Monday and returning to winning ways after some slow weeks.

在100%完美的周日运行后，我们继续棘手的俄罗斯，所以谨慎建议。

在接下来的几个星期里，我的足球日程排得满满的，我的目标是在每天的基础上提供尽可能多的选择。

就比赛而言，考虑到乌拉尔本赛季的混乱状况，主场获胜的几率相当大。

俱乐部在整个转会窗口几乎都是不活跃的，尽管在一些区域出现了明显的问题，特别是在球场的最后三分之一。基本上，他们有超重的Panyukov，他永远不能超过60分钟，和衰老的，迅速衰退的老将Bicfalvi。替补球员要么是被踢出主力位置的球员，如果被转移到中锋位置，要么是缺乏经验的球员。

中场和防守也不够好。最后时刻的中后卫马民和后卫格格利奇泽的加入并不能解决乌拉尔的问题。两人都是二级联赛的球员。

在本赛季的早些时候，俱乐部更换了主教练伊戈尔·沙利莫夫(Igor Shalimov)，这是一个投机性的人物，他从来都不是一个“危机管理者”。球队对他的到来没有任何反应，幸运地在3场比赛中得到1分——在国际比赛前的最后一轮对阵罗斯托夫(1-1)。

鲁宾的状态和成绩在短期内有所下降，但仍然排在欧冠区域的第5位。他们已经三连败，然而，其中一个主要原因是两名关键球员的缺阵——前锋德斯波托维奇和边锋克瓦拉茨克利亚。在周一的对决之前，最大的新闻是双方都可以参加。他们在这周进行了训练，有望参加比赛。鲁宾对这两个人的依赖超过了英超其他俱乐部对两个人的依赖。鲁宾在对阵乌拉尔的比赛中取得成功的另一个好消息是，他在上周从荷兰冠军米德日兰签下了丹麦边锋安德斯·德雷尔。这是一笔相当可观的转会，费用为700万欧元。23岁的德雷尔有能力在鲁宾面前一马当先，在本赛季的6场超级联赛中，3粒进球+ 5次助攻说明了一切。

有很多有力的论据表明，鲁宾应该在周一拿到3分，在经历了几周的缓慢之后，重新回到胜利的道路上。
