Match Prediction: Fakel vs Arsenal Tula

In the previous round, Voronezh defeated an opponent who, along with Fakel, is a contender for promotion to the RPL. Oleg Vasilenko’s immediate opponent is unlikely to be pursuing such goals this season, and Arsenal’s overall form is far from ideal. Tula has not won in the First League for 8 matches (4 draws, 4 losses). Fakel, on the other hand, only loses away from home in the FNL-2025/26.

Fakel achieves good results thanks to their reliable defense. At home in the current championship, the team has conceded only one goal. Arsenal, however, lacks consistency in attack: the club has not scored more than one goal in 5 of their last 7 away FNL games. And even in the national Cup, where the level of opposition is lower, Tula rarely produces a goal fest. This usually happens in matches against Second League representatives.

Considering these facts, my prediction is: “Fakel will not lose and Total Under 2.5 goals”.
