The first stage of the quarter-finals of the Fonbet Russian Cup 2025/26 between KAMAZ and Krylia Sovetov will take place on November 27 at the KAMAZ Stadium in Naberezhnye Chelny. KAMAZ vs. Krylia Sovetov: prediction and betting odds, statistics.
KAMAZ
In the previous round, the team from Naberezhnye Chelny overcame Chelyabinsk (0-0, 4-3 on penalties). Thus, the team has not lost in regular time in 5 of their last 6 Russian Cup matches (2 wins, 3 draws), keeping a clean sheet in 4 of those games. However, KAMAZ has struggled in front of goal, scoring at least two goals in only one of their last 7 games in this tournament. The last time they faced a Premier League side was in the 2021/22 season, losing 0-6 to Zenit in the round of 16.
- At least one opponent failed to score in 11 of KAMAZ's last 14 national cup matches.
- At home, the team scored exactly 1 or 2 goals in 10 of their last 11 games in this tournament.
- In 6 of their last 8 home games in the Russian Cup, the club did not concede more than one goal.
Predicted lineup for KAMAZ (3-5-2)
Evgeny Zamerec – Daniil Marugin, Maxim Burko, Saveliy Ratnikov – Alexander Deryugin, Surkhaykhan Abdullaev, Artem Sukhanov, Daniil Shamkin, Ruslan Apekhov – Daniil Motorin, David Khubaev.
Krylia Sovetov
The Samara team started the group stage well, not losing in regular time in their first three matches (1 win, 2 draws), but only managed two points in the second round. As a result, Magomed Adiev's side finished three points behind a playoff spot in the RPL Path. With only 7 goals scored, they were the lowest-scoring team in their group, although Krylia Sovetov failed to score only in both matches against Dynamo. Last season, the club finished last in their group.
- The Samara team conceded at least twice in 9 of their last 11 national cup matches.
- Away from home in this tournament, the team lost after 90 minutes in 5 of their last 7 matches (1 win, 1 draw).
- In 6 of their last 7 away games in the Russian Cup, Krylia Sovetov did not score more than one goal.
Predicted lineup for Krylia Sovetov (4-3-3)
Nikita Kokarev – Roman Evgeniev, Nikita Chernov, Ivan Lepsky, Nikolay Rasskazov – Sergey Babkin, Kirill Pechenin, Fernando Costanza – Ilzat Akhmetov, Ivan Aleinikov, Vladimir Ignatenko.
Forwards Ivan Oleynikov, Vadim Rakov, Vladimir Khubulov, midfielder Sergey Babkin, and defenders Tomas Galdames, Dominik Oroz are injured.

KAMAZ vs. Krylia Sovetov: Match Prediction
This match is highly anticipated in Naberezhnye Chelny. It has been more than three years since KAMAZ faced a Premier League team in an official match. Memories of the last visit from high-profile guests are not the best. The upcoming opponent of Anton Khazov's team is not at the level of Zenit, who thrashed the hosts in 2022, but it will still not be an easy game. Nevertheless, I believe KAMAZ has a good chance not only to progress but at least to score against Samara.
KAMAZ is the most prolific club in the current First League campaign, with a scoring streak of 8 matches. The team also performs well in attack in the Russian Cup, scoring in 10 of their last 11 home games.
Samara is experiencing defensive issues this season. In the RPL 2025/26, Magomed Adiev's team has only three clean sheets. In the group stage of the Russian Cup, they conceded the most goals among all third-place teams. Moreover, Krylia Sovetov has failed to keep a clean sheet in 13 consecutive away matches in this tournament.
My prediction: KAMAZ individual total over 0.5
