Shinnik

The Yaroslavl team reached the quarter-finals of the Regional Path with just one goal scored. In two rounds, Dmitry Cheryshev's side defeated their opponents in penalty shootouts after goalless draws in regular time: Dynamo-Vladivostok (3-2 on penalties) and Chaika (4-2 on penalties). Shinnik only managed a narrow victory over Ufa. Notably, the team had a longer "dry" streak in the national cup during the 2017/18 season. Additionally, Shinnik has suffered just one defeat in 90 minutes over their last nine Russian Cup matches (2 wins, 6 draws).

• At least one opponent failed to score in 5 of Shinnik's last 6 games in this tournament.
• No more than two goals have been scored in Shinnik's last 6 home matches in the national cup.
• The team has failed to score in 4 of their last 5 home games in the Russian Cup.

Akron

The Togliatti team finished third in their group during the RPL Path group stage. Zaur Tedeev's side secured three victories, one of which came via penalties, and suffered three losses. In Group D, the club kept just one clean sheet and conceded the most goals – 12. Akron's highest achievement in the Russian Cup was reaching the semi-finals in the 2022/23 season, where they lost to Krasnodar (0-0, 2-4 on penalties).

• Akron has not won in regular time in 5 of their last 7 matches in the national cup (1 draw, 4 losses).
• The team has conceded in their last 4 away matches in this tournament.
• The number "1" appeared in the final score in 4 of Akron's last 5 Russian Cup matches.

Shinnik vs. Akron: Match Prediction

Akron performed well in the RPL Path, and only a poor finish in the group stage prevented them from advancing in the tournament's upper bracket. Notably, Akron managed to take points from Zenit. Away in the national cup, the club has not lost in regular time in 5 of their last 7 matches (3 wins, 2 draws). In the Premier League, Akron is mid-table, with all their defeats coming against top-seven opponents. The class of their upcoming opponent, Shinnik, is significantly lower.

Yaroslavl is fighting for survival in the First League and rarely delights fans with victories in the Russian Cup. In regular time, Shinnik has won only two of their last ten matches in this tournament (6 draws, 2 losses), including a heavy defeat to Akron in the previous tournament edition (0-3). The last time they defeated an opponent at home in the national cup in 90 minutes was in August 2019.

My prediction: Akron with a handicap (0)
