Krasnodar
Murad Musayev's side overcame Tyumen in the first stage of the quarter-finals only in a penalty shootout, despite leading by three goals during the match (3:3, 4:2 on penalties). Krasnodar has now failed to win in regulation time in their last four Russian Cup matches (1 draw, 3 losses). Additionally, during this stretch, the team has not conceded fewer than two goals. Notably, Krasnodar has scored only seven goals in this tournament's current edition and does not surpass any club still participating in the national Cup in this regard.
- The team has not lost in regulation time in 13 of their last 15 home matches in the Russian Cup (8 wins, 5 draws).
- The club has scored exactly once in 90 minutes in 6 of their previous 7 home games in this tournament.

Stanislav Agkatsev – Giovani Gonzalez, Diego Enrique Costa, Kaio, Lucas Olaza – Kevin Lenini, Nikita Krivtsov – Joao Bachi, Alexander Chernikov, Victor Sa – John Cordoba.

Akhmat
Sergey Tashuev's team found themselves in this section of the Russian Cup after being eliminated from the RPL Path in the quarter-finals by Zenit over two legs (0:3 and 1:2). Akhmat's current losing streak in this tournament stands at three matches, having previously lost to CSKA in the group stage (0:1). Notably, Grozny has lost in regulation time five times already in this edition of the national Cup – more than any other club still in the competition.
- The club has lost in regulation time in 8 of their last 12 away matches in the national Cup.

- Grozny has conceded no more than one goal in regulation time in 5 of their last 7 away games in the Russian Cup.
Predicted lineup for Akhmat (4-4-2)
Giorgi Shelia – Darko Todorovic, Nader Ghandri, Turpal-Ali Ibisev, Arsen Adamov – Ismael Silva, Daniil Zorin, Daniil Utkin, Maxim Samorodov – Amin Talal, Georgy Melkadze.
Defender Miroslav Bogosavac and forward Bernard Berisha are unavailable due to injuries.
Match Prediction: Krasnodar vs. Akhmat
In cup matches at home, Krasnodar aims for maximum results with minimal effort. The team does not strive to score as many goals as possible and often settles for one goal – this has been the case in 6 of the club's last 7 home matches in the Russian Cup. At the same time, Krasnodar does not give opponents many opportunities, conceding no more than one goal in 7 of their previous 9 home games in this tournament.
Akhmat's away performances in cup competitions have been inconsistent, but more often than not, the team fails to achieve the desired result. Creating chances is particularly challenging: in the last ten away matches in the national Cup, Grozny has left the field without scoring in half of the games. However, in 4 of their last 5 away matches in this tournament, the club has not conceded more than one goal.
I do not expect high scoring in this match, so my prediction: Total under 3 goals
