Chayka outlook
A 4-1 home defeat to FC Yenisey Krasnoyarsk just 11 days ago was followed by a 2-1 away loss to Volga Ulyanovsk in the last round of fixtures for Chayka. Dmitri Kombarov’s side are solid and have the ability to hold their opponents at bay and counter when the opportunity arises.
The pragmatic 4-4-2 formation favoured by the coach focuses on a compact low block, defensive discipline and counter-attacking through the wings.
Kamaz outlook
The Kamaz Nab Chelny style of play is not for the faint-hearted. They will press medium-high, flood the flanks with numbers and get the ball down quickly and play positive in transition. Anton Khazov’s men are much more likely to be involved in a lively contest with lots of goals, which they have been since he took charge in October 2025.
Kamaz Nab Chelny to make it a hat-trick of wins
The odds are stacked against Chayka in this one. The home side are a much better team with an excellent home record, while they also have a decent head-to-head record against their visitors this term.
Chayka have struggled on the road in the FNL 2025/2026 this season, picking up just two wins, four draws and nine defeats from their 15 away matches, conceding an average of 2.20 goals per game.
Kamaz Nab Chelny have won five, drawn six and lost three of their 14 home matches in the FNL 2025/2026 this term, scoring an average of 1.86 goals-per-match - 26 in total.
David Karaev is their biggest threat with 11 goals in 30 matches in the competition.
FC Chayka’s top scorer is Artem Sokolov, who has hit 10 goals in 24 appearances and has scored three times in his last five games.
This game is likely to be open and end-to-end. The attacking flair of Kamaz Nab Chelny against the counter-attacking threat of Chayka should make for an exciting 90 minutes.
- The odds for Kamaz Nab Chelny to win this one are 1.5 and that looks too short for us, although they do justify their spot as favorites.
- However, both teams will likely find the net in this clash and ‘Both Teams to Score - Yes’ is available at 1.97, while ‘Over 2.5 Goals’ comes in at 1.9 - both of which look good bets.
