① Arsenal Tula should press from the start and exploit Volga Ulyanovsk's defensive gaps.

② Volga will rely on quick counters, but might struggle to break through the hosts' backline.

③ A clean home win is a reasonable expectation given form and home advantage.

① Yenisey Krasnoyarsk are strong at home and press high.

② Volga Ulyanovsk may struggle to cope with the pace and intensity.

③ A clean sheet for Yenisey is plausible.
