National cups are something special for many teams and supporters. Today's match will decide whether it's Spartak Moskva or Yenisey that keep their silverware dream alive.
These teams have little in common geographically as Yenisey have to travel 4100 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
It's no vacation for neither Spartak Moskva nor Yenisey as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.

Yenisey form and stats
Yenisey's mission in Russian Cup last season failed in the group stage.As the visiting team in FNL matches, Yenisey have produced an overall stat of 8-2-9 so far.
The attacking players of Yenisey have been feeble for some time now, the team not scoring a league goal in the last 202 minutes.
Yenisey lost away at Krasnodar II (0-4) in their previous game and are perhaps starting to feel homesick. As you can see from the result above, the defeat against Krasnodar II was particularly ugly (0-4). The humiliation is still top of mind.
Ahead of that game was the 0-0 draw at home against KAMAZ in the FNL.A new game in only four days for Yenisey, the FNL home match versus Torpedo Moskva. Busy days.
