In the previous round, the team advanced past Bryansk Dynamo only via a penalty shootout (0-0, 3-2 on penalties).

Match Prediction: Leon Saturn vs. Broke Boys
Vitaly Vicents' side is a mid-table team in the Second League. In their group, the team is in 7th place, trailing the leader by a whopping 32 points. It's important to note Leon Saturn's defensive issues. The club has conceded 31 goals, with only four opponents having a worse record. The team has kept a clean sheet in just one of their last 13 league matches. In the national cup, Leon Saturn has conceded at least twice in 4 of their last 5 home games.
The media team made headlines before the last round by signing Fyodor Smolov. In the upcoming game, their squad will be bolstered by Ari. The forward recently retired, having scored 66 goals in the Russian Premier League. It's unlikely that the player has lost his skills in such a short time. In the current Russian Cup campaign, Dmitry Kuznetsov's team has already scored 5 goals. I believe Broke Boys have the ability to score at least once against their next opponent.
My prediction: Broke Boys Individual Total Over 1
