Enisey
In the previous round, the team secured a 2-1 away victory over Amkal. Krasnoyarsk has been delivering uncompromising results in the Russian Cup, achieving 13 wins and 8 losses in their last 21 matches. However, Enisey has conceded in their last five encounters in this tournament. Notably, Andrey Tikhonov's side has already surpassed last year's performance in the national Cup, but the 5th round remains an elusive target since the 2022/23 season.
- The club has not scored more than once in 5 of their last 7 Russian Cup games.
- They have a streak of 5 home victories in this tournament.
- At least three goals have been scored in 9 of Enisey's last 11 home matches in the national Cup.
Predicted lineup for Enisey (4-4-2)

Ufa
In the previous stage, Ufa lost to Fancom, but due to the opponent fielding an ineligible player, Ufa was awarded a technical victory. However, the club has failed to win in regular time in their last 8 Russian Cup matches (5 draws, 3 losses). Moreover, Ufa has kept a clean sheet in only two games during this period. Additionally, the team has been unable to advance beyond the 5th round for two consecutive seasons in this tournament.

Match Prediction: Enisey vs. Ufa
In the previous round, Krasnoyarsk avoided squad rotation and managed to defeat the much-talked-about media team. Now, they have a good chance to progress further. Enisey has not lost in 6 of their last 7 home matches in the Russian Cup (1 loss), with most of their opponents during this stretch being representatives of the RPL. Even against teams of such caliber, Krasnoyarsk has maintained solid defense, conceding more than one goal only once in this period.
Meanwhile, Ufa struggled against amateurs in the previous round and only advanced due to non-sporting factors. Their journey in the Russian Cup might end here: Ufa has not won in 6 of their last 7 away matches in this tournament (3 draws, 3 losses). Additionally, they have not scored more than one goal during this period, failing to find the net in 4 matches entirely.
My prediction: Enisey will not lose and Total under 3.5 goals
