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

Ufa’s Current Season Performance

Ufa has had a rather uninspiring season so far. The team has secured only 3 victories in 16 championship rounds, leaving them just 2 points clear of the relegation zone. While Ufa generally performs better at home than away, even their home win rate is below 50%. The hosts don’t necessarily have a porous defense, but they have consistently conceded goals in their last 5 matches. In recent league games, 39-year-old Belenov has been in goal, conceding two goals in each of the last three outings.

Ufa’s Offensive Struggles

In terms of attack, Ufa lacks standout performers. Ortiz leads the team’s top scorers with 3 goals, but there are considerable questions surrounding the Colombian newcomer. Two of his goals came against Chayka, with one being a penalty kick.

Recent Cup Elimination

Mid-week, Ufa participated in the Cup, where they were eliminated by Neftekhimik after a penalty shootout. This match undoubtedly drained significant physical energy and delivered a psychological blow, failing to provide any positive momentum.

Yenisey’s Inconsistent Form

Yenisey also cannot consider the first half of the season a success. Under Andrey Tikhonov, the team boasts a strong selection of players, but their performances have been inconsistent. Last week, Yenisey suffered a heavy 0-5 defeat in Naberezhnye Chelny. This result abruptly ended their three-match unbeaten streak. The coach has since promised that lessons will be learned, and such a display of helplessness will not be seen from his players again.

Defensive Solidity and Key Attackers

Throughout the season, Krasnoyarsk (Yenisey’s home city) has generally maintained an organized defense. If the visitors manage to score a goal, they often secure points. In attack, hopes are pinned on Latkovic and Krashkulov, who collectively scored 4 goals in October.
