Rewritten Article:

Krasnodar, the reigning champions of the Russian Premier League, took a hit in Round 16, losing to Ural with a score of 1:3. This defeat reduced their chances of overtaking Zenit, who secured a 3:0 victory over Sochi the previous day.

The match began promisingly for Krasnodar, with John Cordoba, one of the league's top scorers, putting them on the board at the 21st minute. However, Ural leveled the score before halftime with a precision shot from Emerson Illya-Ayet. In the second half, Andrei Egorychev and Alexei Kashatanov scored two more goals for Ural, on the 59th and 86th minutes respectively.

After their defeat in Yekaterinburg, Krasnodar now trails Zenit by a point and leads the nearest contender, Moscow's Dinamo, by four points. Oddly, Krasnodar's loss came against a team that hadn't won in the league since late August, with a streak of ten matches without a victory (three draws and seven losses).

By toppling the previous season's leader, Viktor Goncharenko's team moved up two spots and now shares the 10-11th position with Fakel from Voronezh.

In the next round, Krasnodar will host Orenburg, while Ural will travel to Nizhny Novgorod.

As for sports betting, while up-to-date data on the most popular bets in Krasnodar isn't readily available, we can make educated guesses based on general trends and the teams' performance. Given the city's pride in local sports, it's likely that football bets, particularly those involving matches from the Russian league, are quite popular.

Some popular bets might include match outcomes, over/under goals, and correct score predictions. With Krasnodar's recent performance in mind, bettors might favor underdog bets on opponents like Ural. For those seeking higher odds and the possibility of lower-scoring matches, under 2.5 goals might be an attractive market.

As with any sports betting, it's crucial to research teams, players, and playing styles to maximize your potential winnings. Keep an eye on odds, promotions, and offers from sportsbooks like 1xBet and 22Bet to increase your chances of profit.

Happy betting, and may the best team win!
