Chayka vs. KAMAZ: Match Prediction
Chayka's matches this season have been entertaining in terms of goals. In the FNL, Dmitry Kombarov's team is on the verge of conceding 40 goals. However, in the Russian Cup, they have been more solid defensively, although recent major changes in the club should be considered. Therefore, a fourth consecutive clean sheet for Chayka in the national cup is unlikely in the upcoming match.
KAMAZ has scored in 5 of their last 7 Russian Cup matches. The defense of Peschanokopskoye, which has struggled this season, is unlikely to withstand the team's attack. However, KAMAZ should also be cautious at their own end. Chayka managed to score three times against Neftekhimik in the last FNL round, a team that rarely allows such defensive lapses. This success will boost Dmitry Kombarov's squad's confidence.
I believe both teams are capable of scoring. My prediction: Total over 2 goals
