Match Prediction: Yenisey vs. Ufa
Krasnoyarsk did not rotate their squad in the previous round and managed to defeat the media-savvy team. Now, they have a good chance to progress further. On their home turf, Yenisey has not lost in 6 of their last 7 Russian Cup matches (1 loss), with most opponents during this stretch being representatives of the Russian Premier League. Even against such high-level opponents, Krasnoyarsk has not faltered defensively, conceding more than one goal only once during this period.
Ufa, on the other hand, struggled against amateurs in the previous round, and only a non-sporting decision allowed Omari Tetradze's side to advance. However, their journey in the Russian Cup may end here: Ufa has not won in 6 of their last 7 away matches in this tournament (3 draws, 3 losses). Additionally, during this period, the club has never scored more than one goal, failing to find the net in 4 matches altogether.
My prediction: Yenisey will not lose and Total under 3.5 goals
