This is a domestic cup game in the Russian Cup where Fakel host Akhmat Grozny at home. The two teams have met often enough to know each other well, with both goalless draws and away wins at the other's ground, but this time it is a cup game with a different atmosphere from a normal league fixture. Fakel have just lost 0-1 at home in the league, after earlier winning 2-0 in the cup and winning 2-1 in the league. As for Akhmat Grozny, they have lost 3 matches in a row, their defence leaking goals in every game of this spell, so neither side comes in in a particularly confident state. The game is likely to play out with the hosts sitting deep and waiting for the moment to counter, because Akhmat Grozny are the side who will have more of the ball and have to be the ones to open up and attack. If Fakel defend tightly and use their counter-attacks well, the game has a chance of ending close or with the hosts edging it.
