Each team's lineup reflects their starting eleven from the previous match in this tournament.
Tyumen
Igor Men'shchikov's side reached the quarter-finals of the Regional Path by defeating Chelyabinsk (2-0), Alania (0-0, 4-3 on penalties), and thrashing Amkar 3-0 in the previous round. Notably, for the first time in the 21st century, Tyumen kept a clean sheet in three consecutive matches in the national cup. The team last faced a Russian Premier League representative in the 2018/19 season, narrowly losing to Orenburg.
- At least one opponent failed to score in Tyumen's last 6 matches in this tournament.
- At home in the national cup, the club avoided defeat in 4 of their last 5 matches (2 wins, 2 draws in regular time).
- In 7 of their last 9 home cup matches, Tyumen conceded no more than one goal.
Krasnodar
For two consecutive years, Krasnodar has finished third in the group stage of the national cup. This tournament started excellently for Murad Musaev's team with three consecutive 1-0 victories. However, they then suffered three defeats, ultimately losing second place to Akhmat on tiebreakers. It is worth noting that Krasnodar scored only four goals – the fewest in their group, and among all RPL Path participants, only Fakel had fewer (2).
- No more than two goals were scored in 5 of Krasnodar's last 7 matches in the Russian Cup.
- The club has not drawn in their last 10 away matches in this tournament (4 wins, 6 losses).
- In 5 of their last 7 away matches in the national cup, Krasnodar conceded at least one goal.
Tyumen vs. Krasnodar: Match Prediction
The First League underdog unexpectedly defeated the recent league leader away in the last round. I'm confident that this result will boost Igor Men'shchikov's team's confidence, helping them perform admirably against a formidable opponent in the upcoming match. On their home turf in the national cup, Tyumen has performed well, avoiding defeat in regular time in 17 of their last 22 matches (9 wins, 8 draws). Only one of those defeats was by a large margin, even though CSKA and Zenit have visited Tyumen.
Krasnodar's class advantage is evident. However, Murad Musaev has regularly rotated his squad in the Russian Cup. It's unlikely that the head coach's approach will change in the lower bracket of the tournament. Especially since the team is competing for top honors in the RPL and has an upcoming clash with an in-form Spartak.
In Krasnodar's last 23 away matches in the national cup, they have only one victory by more than two goals. This is another factor supporting the prediction – Tyumen with a handicap (+2)
