Fancom
Vyacheslav Protsenko's team has advanced through two rounds in this edition of the national cup. In the previous stage, they triumphed over Kirov's Dynamo in a penalty shootout (0-0, pens. 13-12), and before that, they progressed without playing due to Kazan's Sokol withdrawing. Notably, Fancom is an amateur team competing in the "Golden Ring" zone of the Third League. This is their debut in the Russian Cup.

Vladislav Egorov – Nikita Drozdov, Renat Bagdashkin, Alexander Anidrianov, Igor Rodionov – Alexander Ivashov, Artem Fedchuk, Alexander Vasiliev, Artem Shcherbak, Andrey Spirin – Nikita Kirsanov.
Ufa
In the past two seasons of the national cup, Ufa reached the 4th round but exited in the next stage. Before that, they made it to the Round of 16, where they lost to Akhmat. The club's best achievement in the Russian Cup is reaching the semifinals in the 2016/17 season.

Fancom vs. Ufa: Match Prediction
Fancom has overcome two Second League teams but has not won in regular time. The level of Vyacheslav Protsenko's upcoming opponent will be significantly higher. Although Ufa is in the lower half of the FNL table, the team is currently showing decent results, and a win in the upcoming match will undoubtedly benefit Ufa.
Omari Tetradze's side boasts one of the best scoring records among the lower half of the FNL table. The club has 13 goals, and Ufa has scored at least twice in 4 of their last 5 First League matches. In their current form, Ufa should find the net against their next opponent. Considering the level of Kirov, it should not be limited to just one goal.
My prediction: Ufa to win and Total over 1.5 goals
* The starting lineup for each team is based on their last match.
