The starting lineup for each team in their last match of this tournament is listed.
Tyumen
Igor Menshchikov's side reached the quarter-finals of the Regional Path by defeating Chelyabinsk (2-0), Alania (0-0, 4-3 on penalties), and thrashing Amkar 3-0 in the previous round. Notably, for the first time in the 21st century, Tyumen kept a clean sheet in three consecutive matches in the national cup. The last time they faced a Russian Premier League representative in the Russian Cup was in the 2018/19 season, losing narrowly to Orenburg.
- At least one opponent failed to score in Tyumen's last 6 matches in this tournament.
- The club has not lost 4 of their last 5 home matches in the national cup (2 wins and 2 draws in regular time).
- In 7 of their last 9 home games in the Russian Cup, Tyumen has conceded no more than one goal.
Krasnodar
For two consecutive years, Krasnodar has finished third in the group stage of the national cup. Although this tournament started well for Murad Musayev's team with three consecutive 1-0 victories, they then suffered three defeats and ultimately lost second place to Akhmat on additional criteria. Krasnodar scored only four goals in the group stage, the fewest in their group, and only Fakel (2) had a worse record among all participants in the RPL Path.
- No more than two goals have been scored in 5 of Krasnodar's last 7 matches in the Russian Cup.
- The club has not drawn in their last 10 away games in this tournament (4 wins, 6 losses).
- In 5 of their last 7 away matches in the national cup, Krasnodar has conceded at least one goal.
Tyumen vs. Krasnodar: Match Prediction
The First League underdog unexpectedly defeated the recent championship leader away in the last round. Such a result will surely boost Igor Menshchikov's team's confidence, helping them perform admirably against a formidable opponent in the upcoming match. Tyumen has also been strong at home in the national cup, avoiding defeat in regular time in 17 of their last 22 matches (9 wins, 8 draws). Only one of these defeats was by a large margin, despite hosting CSKA and Zenit.
Krasnodar's class advantage is evident. However, Murad Musayev has regularly rotated his squad in the Russian Cup. It is unlikely that the head coach's approach will change in the lower bracket of the tournament, especially as the team is competing for top honors in the RPL and is set to face an in-form Spartak in their next league match.
In Krasnodar's last 23 away matches in the national cup, they have only one win by a margin of more than two goals. This is another factor supporting the prediction: Tyumen with a handicap (+2)
