In this Russian Cup tie, Leningradets host Luki-Energiya, with the two teams meeting in a cup competition where a loss means elimination. Both have played in this competition recently and each advanced without much trouble. Leningradets are in poor league form, losing 1-3 in their latest match, and before that they suffered a 0-6 defeat at home. Their defence is clearly a problem when you look at the number of goals they have conceded in the league. As for Luki-Energiya, although they lost 1-2 in their latest match, their overall league campaign still looks much better, having collected 13 wins from 25 matches and conceding the same number of goals as Leningradets despite playing 12 more matches. This game is likely to be one where Leningradets must try to control the match from the start, because if they let Luki-Energiya sit back and wait to counter in their preferred style, the pressure will only grow on the hosts, who are short on confidence. The first thing to watch is whether Leningradets come out attacking from the opening whistle.
