Yenisey
In the last round, the team defeated Amkal away (2:1). Krasnoyarsk has shown uncompromising results in the Russian Cup, securing 13 wins and suffering 8 losses in their last 21 matches. However, Yenisey has conceded in their last five matches in this tournament. Additionally, Andrey Tikhonov's side has already surpassed last year's performance in the national Cup, but the 5th round remains an insurmountable hurdle since the 2022/23 season.

Ufa was defeated by Fankom in the previous stage, but due to an ineligible player in the opponent's squad, the team was awarded a technical victory.

Match Prediction: Yenisey vs. Ufa
Krasnoyarsk did not rotate their squad in the last round and managed to defeat the media sensation in the tournament. Now, the team has a good chance to progress further. At home, Yenisey has not lost in 6 of their last 7 Russian Cup matches (1 loss), with most of their opponents during this period being representatives of the RPL. Notably, even against opponents of such caliber, Krasnoyarsk has not faltered defensively, conceding more than one goal only once in this stretch.
Ufa, on the other hand, failed to overcome amateurs in the last round, and only due to non-sporting circumstances did Omari Tetradze's side advance. But their journey in the Russian Cup may end here: away in this tournament, Ufa has not won in 6 of their last 7 matches (3 draws, 3 losses). Moreover, during this period, the club has never scored more than one goal, and in 4 matches, they failed to score at all.
My prediction: Yenisey will not lose and Total under 3.5 goals
