This is a Russian Cup tie between Krylya Sovetov Samara and Zenit St Petersburg, with the round not specified in the build-up. CheckLive's data doesn't flag a clear favourite here, so it's genuinely hard to call — and a draw is a very real possibility.
Krylya Sovetov Samara have had a mixed run: a 2-1 win over Dinamo Makhachkala in the Cup, draws with CSKA Moscow and Dynamo Moscow, but defeats to Baltika Kaliningrad and Akron Togliatti. Zenit have won four of their last five, beating Baltika 1-0 in the Cup, Orenburg 3-0, Akron Togliatti 5-0 and Spartak Moscow 5-3, though they lost 2-1 to Rodina Moscow.
The head-to-head is tight: in four previous meetings, Krylya have one win, one draw and two losses, with the last encounter going Zenit's way 2-1 in the Premier League. With no standout favourite, the key is whether Krylya can raise themselves for the Cup against a Zenit side that has been scoring freely.
