- Team form: Kryliya Sovetov Samara have won four of their last five competitive meetings with Sochi, with no draws.
- Home record: Sochi’s home record reads: played 12, won 1, drawn 2, lost 9.
- Head-to-head goals: Both teams average 3.0 goals per game when Sochi hosts Kryliya Sovetov Samara in head-to-head encounters.
Krylya Sov. Samara to continue Sochi’s wretched home record
PFK Sochi may be better on their travels than at home, but they’ve lost two consecutive games in front of their own fans, while PFK Kryliya Sovetov Samara have lost two of their past five in all competitions and can get the better of the hosts on Tuesday.
Sochi have had a tough campaign in 16th place, bottom of the table in the Premier League 2025-2026, with just 12 points from 24 games played. Igor Osinkin’s team have recently played with more pace and aggression, trying to get numbers forward to press, and trying to create goal opportunities through quick transitions and vertical attacks. In the main, Osinkin has used either a 4-3-3 or a 4-2-3-1 shape this season.
- Sochi have found the net just nine times in 12 home league matches this season, so they aren’t prolific in their own backyard.
- Martin Kramaric has been a bit of a bright spot lately, scoring two of Sochi’s last three goals in a five-game period.
- Sochi's leading scorer Anton Zinkovskiy has scored three times in 23 league appearances.
Fireworks expected in Sochi
Kryliya form
Kryliya Samara have had a difficult season in 13th place in the table with just 22 points from 24 matches, but they are undoubtedly the superior side to Sochi. They have one win, two draws and two defeats from their last five games, which includes a 2-5 home defeat to CSKA Moscow in the Cup and a 2-2 home draw with FC Akhmat Grozny in the Premier League.
Sochi recent results
Sochi's next two matches saw a 0-1 defeat at home to Rubin Kazan and a surprising 1-0 win at CSKA Moscow.
Away form and head-to-head
Kryliya have just one win, two draws and ten defeats away from home in the Premier League 2025/2026. Kryliya have won four of the last five meetings in this fixture, which should make them more confident of continuing Sochi’s woeful home performance in the league. Vadim Rakov has been a standout in 10 Premier League games for Kryliya this term, scoring five times.
Back the visitors to win and both teams to score
Betting angle
The odds for an away win are quite attractive at 2.63, but we’re taking it with both teams to get on the scoreboard and over 2.5 goals at 1.97 and BTTS at 1.69, as these two teams have averaged 3.0 goals in their head-to-head encounters at Sochi and the narrative should be strong with Krylya having a recent managerial change.
Tactical outlook
Krylya play a defensive game where they control the risk through defensive discipline, selective pressing and counter-attacking and set-piece threats from a low-to-mid block, whereas Sochi play an aggressive, high-tempo game with a focus on transitions. There should be an open game here with chances at both ends.
