On May 11, the second leg of the 1/2 finals of the Cup of Russia will take place, in which Spartak Moscow will play at home with Yenisei Krasnoyarsk. The forecast for this match is given by the former Spartak player Eduard Mohr.
It is difficult to overestimate the importance of the upcoming match. "Yenisei" will go down in history if it manages to reach the final of the Russian Cup, and Spartak needs to win, including from the point of view of the reputational factor. This season, the Red and white celebrated the 100th anniversary of the club, but failed in the championship, being in the bottom half of the standings. And winning the cup trophy could brighten up the season for the Spartacists.
Last weekend, Yenisei lost outright to Krasnodar's doubles (0:4) on the road, but this result should not be misleading – Krasnoyarsk already received two red cards during the first half, which predetermined the outcome of the meeting.
The "Red-Blue" are a fairly playing team, and you should not expect that they will "put the bus" on the "Opening Bank Arena", but will try to deprive Spartak of the ball. Do not forget that Yenisei defeated Lokomotiv in the 1/8 finals in Moscow (4:0). Therefore, we can expect a very interesting game, a lot of goals scored, and, according to Eduard Mora, the victory will eventually be celebrated by the "red and white".
