CSKA
Vladimir Fedotov has returned CSKA to the status of Russia's top club this season - the "army men" are doing well on all fronts. The path in the Russian Cup was started by a guest victory in the Moscow derby over Torpedo (2:0). After that, Krylia Sovetov were minimally beaten on the road (1-0), and Krasnodar managed to be declassified at home with a large score (4:1), thanks to which they managed to rise to second place in the RPL standings.
"Ural"
Viktor Gancharenko is also working hard at Ural, striving to return the status of a strong middle-class RPL to this club. In the Russian Cup, the team managed to defeat Sochi on its own field (2:0), the way is to play in an experimental composition. After that, Yekaterinburg lost to Dynamo Moscow on the road (1:2), and last Sunday they won Torpedo at home in a key match (2:0), but this has so far allowed them to rise only to 15th place in the standings.

Forecast
The victory in the first round over Sochi allows Ural not to strain too much in this match, in fact, sacrificing them. In three days, the Uralians will play in the championship with Akhmat, and at the moment it is much more important to score points and improve the standings there.
