Krasnodar
Murad Musaev's team overcame Tyumen in the first stage of the quarter-finals only in a penalty shootout, despite leading by three goals during the match (3-3, 4-2 on penalties).

Notably, Krasnodar has scored only seven goals in the current edition of the tournament, which is the lowest among the clubs still participating in the national Cup.

Akhmat
Sergei Tashuev's side found themselves in this bracket of the Russian Cup after being eliminated from the RPL Path in the quarter-finals by Zenit over two legs (0-3 and 1-2). Akhmat's current losing streak in this tournament is three matches, having previously lost to CSKA in the group stage (0-1).

Krasnodar vs. Akhmat: Match Prediction
At home in cup matches, Krasnodar aims to achieve maximum results with minimal effort. The team does not strive to score as many goals as possible and often settles for one goal – as seen in 6 of their last 7 home matches in the Russian Cup. Meanwhile, Krasnodar does not give opponents many opportunities and has not conceded more than one goal in 7 of their last 9 home matches in this tournament.
Akhmat has mixed success in cup encounters on the road, but the team often struggles to achieve the desired result. Creating scoring opportunities is particularly challenging: in the last ten away matches in the national Cup, the Grozny team left the field without scoring in half of the games. Simultaneously, in 4 of their last 5 away matches in this tournament, the club has not conceded more than one goal.
I do not expect high scoring from the teams in this match, so my prediction: Total under 3 goals
