In this Russian Cup fixture, Yenisey host Kaluga, with neither side having won in their recent run, but the situations of the two teams are clearly different — one still has a chance of a good result, while the other is searching for its footing in this competition. Yenisey lost their latest league match, but before that they alternated draws and wins. Overall in the league, across 13 matches, the team has 3 wins, 5 draws and 5 losses, scoring at around a little over one goal per game, but also conceding more than they have scored. Kaluga are in a much tougher spot, having not won any of their 13 league matches, with 7 draws and 6 losses, scoring only six goals from thirteen games, while over the last ten matches their shots on target are clearly fewer than the hosts' (2.17 per game compared with 5 per game) and their possession is lower (44.5% compared with 53.8%). With this kind of form, the hosts are likely to have more of the ball and push forward more, while Kaluga, with fewer shots on target and less possession, will mainly sit deep and wait for counter-attacking chances. The game is unlikely to be an open exchange from the start, but rather Yenisey gradually pushing up in search of a goal while Kaluga wait for a chance from a mistake by the hosts.
