In this Russian Cup tie, it's clear both teams want to advance, but the two sides' recent form has gone in opposite directions. Chertanovo just won in the league 1-0, taking their latest match, while Tekstilshchik just lost in the league 0-2 and are on a losing run. Chertanovo are clearly in the better rhythm. This season they have won 14 of 25 matches, scoring 47 and conceding 23, a team that creates chances consistently. Tekstilshchik, meanwhile, have won only 1 of 13 this season, scoring 8 and conceding 21, with clear problems at the back, and they have faced as many as 6.8 shots on target per game over their last 10 matches. But cup games are not league games, and the past meetings have been very even. In the last six, they have traded wins three apiece, no one has won by a wide margin, and almost all of them ended by a single goal or a draw. If Tekstilshchik defend tightly and don't open up to trade blows from the start, this game could end up closer and more drawn out than the form suggests. The first thing to watch is how solidly Tekstilshchik can set up defensively in the first half.
