The first leg of the 1/4 final of the FONBET Russian Cup 2025/26 Regional Path 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 been modest in attack, scoring at least two goals in only one of their last 7 matches in this tournament. The last time they faced a RPL representative was in the 2021/22 season, losing to Zenit in the 1/8 finals (0-6).
- At least one opponent has failed to score in 11 of KAMAZ's last 14 Russian Cup matches.
- At home, the team has scored exactly 1 or 2 goals in 10 of their last 11 matches in this tournament.
- In 6 of their last 8 home games in the Russian Cup, the club has conceded no more than one goal.
Predicted lineup for KAMAZ (3-5-2)
Yevgeny Zamorets – Daniil Marugin, Maxim Burko, Saveliy Ratnikov – Alexander Deryugin, Surkhaykhan Abdullaev, Artem Sukhanov, Daniil Shamkin, Ruslan Apekhov – Daniil Motorin, David Khubayev.
Krylia Sovetov
The Samara side 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 team fell three points short of qualifying for the RPL Path playoffs. In Group B, the team was the least productive with 7 goals, failing to score in both matches against Dynamo. Last season, the club finished last in their group.
- The Samara side conceded at least twice in 9 of their last 11 Russian Cup matches.

Match Prediction: KAMAZ vs. Krylia Sovetov
Naberezhnye Chelny is eagerly anticipating this match. It's been over three years since KAMAZ faced a RPL representative in an official match. The memories of the last visit by high-profile guests are not the best. The upcoming opponent of Anton Khazov's side is not at the level of Zenit, who defeated the hosts in 2022, but it will not be an easy game. However, in my opinion, KAMAZ has a good chance to at least score against Samara.
KAMAZ is the top-scoring club in the current First League campaign, with a goal streak of 8 matches. They also look strong 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 Russian Cup group stage, the club had the worst defensive record among all third-placed teams. Moreover, Krylia Sovetov has not kept a clean sheet away from home in this tournament in 13 matches.
My prediction: KAMAZ Individual Total Over 0.5
