Match Prediction Overview: FC Chelyabinsk vs Yenisey

Chelyabinsk is among the top 5 teams in the league in terms of effectiveness, yet in 8 matches this season, they have scored exactly 1 goal. Goal-scoring surges for Roman Pilipchuk’s side occurred in two matches against tournament outsiders, and surprisingly, against Rodina Moscow, where the club scored three times in the final 15 minutes. Nevertheless, even one successful strike is usually enough for Chelyabinsk to earn points. Moreover, at home in the 2025/26, the club has not lost a single match, keeping 4 clean sheets.

Yenisey, on the other hand, is experiencing its second 5-match winless streak this season. In the previous round, the team lost at home to Torpedo, who are currently in the relegation zone. Away from home, Andrei Tikhonov’s men have failed to win in 6 of their last 7 matches (3 draws, 3 losses), and in 5 of those games, the club didn’t manage to score. However, Yenisey also doesn’t concede much: the team has not allowed more than one goal in 6 of their last 7 First League matches.

Detailed Analysis and Betting Tip

Considering these facts, my prediction is: “Chelyabinsk to win or draw and Under 2.5 goals” with odds of 1.85
