The Round 2 match of the Regions Path in the FONBET Russian Cup 2025/26 between Kosmos Dolgoprudny and 2DROTS will take place on August 20 at the Salyut Stadium. Kosmos Dolgoprudny vs. 2DROTS: prediction and betting odds, statistics.
Kosmos Dolgoprudny
The club from the Moscow region was founded in 2022, so its history in the Russian Cup is still brief. In their first season in this tournament, the team reached the 4th round, which remains their best achievement. In the last edition of the national cup, Andrey Proshin's side advanced only one stage. In the national championship, Kosmos is ranked 13th in their group.
- The team has not lost in regular time in 5 of their last 7 Russian Cup matches (3 wins, 2 draws).
- The club has scored in their last 7 matches in this tournament.
- At least one goal was scored in both halves in 5 of Kosmos's last 7 games in the national cup.
Predicted lineup for Kosmos Dolgoprudny (4-4-2)
Dmitry Rebrov – Danila Gordeev, Andrey Zhurin, Maxim Abramov, Artyom Yapryntsev – Danila Matvevnin, Semyon Radostev, Mikhail Naumov, Ilsur Valeev – Maxim Khalilov, Samir Masimov.
2DROTS
Dmitry Smirnov's team narrowly advanced from the previous stage. Only a goal in added time allowed the Moscow side to overcome Vladimir Torpedo (1-0). Notably, the capital club has scored in 7 of their last 9 matches in the national cup. Thus, 2DROTS reached the 2nd qualifying round of the Russian Cup for the fourth consecutive time. However, in the last edition of the tournament, the team failed to progress past this round.
- At least one opponent failed to score in 6 of 2DROTS's last 7 matches in the national cup.
- The team has not lost in 90 minutes in 7 of their 9 matches in this tournament (6 wins, 1 draw).
- 2DROTS opened the scoring in 7 of their last 9 Russian Cup games.
Predicted lineup for 2DROTS (4-5-1)
Dmitry Landakov – Fedor Kudryashov, Alexander Panchenko, Nikita Vasilyev, Sergey Evtushenko – Stanislav Manaev, Vladislav Levin, Vladimir Oslonovsky, Boris Fortuna, Mikhail Chernomyrdin – Kamil Mullin.

Match Prediction: Kosmos Dolgoprudny vs. 2DROTS
I believe the upcoming match will be very similar to the last cup game for 2DROTS. Their opponents are once again a team from the Second League fighting for survival. In their group, Kosmos is only ahead of a couple of the tournament's outsiders, with just a two-point gap from the relegation zone. Additionally, Andrey Proshin's side has not won in 9 of their last 10 championship matches (3 draws, 6 losses).
2DROTS should comfortably confirm their status as favorites. It's worth noting that 2DROTS have played more Russian Cup matches than Kosmos. Moreover, they have won six of these matches in regular time. Meanwhile, the club from Dolgoprudny was eliminated by another media football representative, Amkal, in the last edition of the national cup.
My prediction: Victory for 2DROTS
