Ufa — Yenisey : Match Preview and Prediction for November 03,2025

Ufa’s Current Form and Struggles

Ufa’s performance this season has been far from impressive, with the team securing only three victories in 16 league matches. These results place them just two points above the relegation zone. While Ufa undeniably performs better at home than away, even on their own turf, their win rate falls below 50%. The home side doesn’t necessarily have a collapsing defense, yet they have conceded goals consistently in their last five matches. In recent league fixtures, 39-year-old Belenov has been in goal, conceding two goals in each of his last three appearances.

Ufa’s Offensive Challenges

Ufa’s attack offers little to highlight. Ortiz, with three goals, leads the team’s scoring charts, but there are significant concerns regarding the Colombian newcomer’s contribution. Two of his goals came against Chayka, and one was from the penalty spot.

Recent Cup Disappointment for Ufa

Midweek saw Ufa compete in the Cup, where they suffered a penalty shootout defeat to Neftekhimik. This demanding match drained significant energy and failed to provide any positive momentum.

Yenisey’s Inconsistent Season Form

Yenisey, much like their opponents, cannot consider the first half of the season a success. Andrey Tikhonov has a strong squad at his disposal, but the team’s performance remains inconsistent. Last week, Yenisey suffered a heavy 0-5 defeat in Naberezhnye Chelny, bringing an end to their three-match unbeaten run. The coach has pledged that lessons will be learned, and such a dispirited performance will not be repeated by his players.

Yenisey’s Defensive Solidity and Key Attackers

Krasnoyarsk (Yenisey) has maintained a reasonably organized defense throughout the season. Often, when the visitors manage to score, they also manage to secure points. In attack, hopes rest on Latkovic and Krashkulov, who collectively netted four goals in October.
