Analysis and forecast for the match of the 1st round of the group stage of the Russian Cup “Fakel” – “Sochi” (07.26.2023)
The new season of the Russian Premier League has started. The matches of the 1st round of the RPL have calmed down. Four Russian Cup group stage matches are scheduled for July 26. In one of them, at the Voronezh Central Union Stadium, the local Fakel will host Sochi. The starting whistle will sound at 18:30 Moscow time.

In the match of the first round, Fakel lost to Rostov (1:2). He opened the scoring and was able to equalize at the end. The “flammable” midfielder Nikita Motspan wasted an excellent chance. In the stoppage time of the second half, he went one-on-one with rival goalkeeper Sergei Pesyakov, but he did not hit the ball in the best way.

Rostov had more dangerous moments. He often owned the initiative and generally seemed more collected. On the other hand, Voronezh could take points from Rostov along the way – this says a lot. At the start of last season, the ‘Inflammable’ didn’t look so confident.
Fakel’s development vector changed Vadim Evseev’s appointment as head coach at the end of the last RPL draw. In the last five games under his leadership, the Blue and Whites only lost to Lokomotiv (0-1) and Zenit (0-1). And in both cases, they acted on the road.

In the play-offs for the right to retain a residence permit in the RPL, the Voronezh team defeated Enisey (1:0 and 2:0). The match with Rostov showed that this was not a temporary action related to motivation to avoid relegation to the First League. Wards Evseev continue to progress.

Sochi in the match of the first round of the RPL beat Baltika at the home stadium (2: 0). For Kaliningraders, the match was the first in the elite division in the last 25 years. Despite this, in some places they looked even more preferable than the home team.
Baltika won on ball possession and had several excellent chances to level the score. Also, the experienced Sochi goalkeeper Nikolai Zabolotny repeatedly helped. In addition, there are questions about some controversial court decisions that were interpreted in favor of Sochi residents.
In general, it was not without luck. He won Sochi only due to superior class. Otherwise, things are not going very well for you. After the departure of Vladimir Fedotov to CSKA, the club still hasn’t found its coach. Last season, the Sochi leadership gave a chance to Vadim Garanin, Kurban Berdyev and, finally, Dmitry Khokhlov, who is now the head of the Sochi team.
Until now, the Sochi bosses trust Khokhlov, which is surprising. In the last eight meetings in the last draw of the RPL, the Sochi team under his leadership beat only Torpedo (3: 1) and Rostov (1: 0), which had been relegated to the First League. They also drew with Zenit (1:1), who lost motivation after the next championship. All points were scored at the home stadium.

In this situation, the best bet option is 1X + TM 3.5 balls by a factor of 2.10. With the arrival of Vadim Evseev, the quality of Voronezh’s defensive line increased considerably. In nine games under his management, the Blue and Whites conceded only five goals. And four of them are out. And this despite the fact that the rivals were mostly leaders.

The support of the local stadium gives the “flammable” a solid advantage. In 15 matches in the last RPL draw as hosts, they only lost three times. During the same period of time, the Sochi team had only three away wins and a draw once. They scored just 11 goals, while they themselves conceded 36.
Forecast and bets for the match of the Russian Cup “Fakel” – “Sochi” on July 26, 2023
Fakel did not start the season in the best way. But first of all, it was an away game. Second, the opponent was not one of the weak. Voronezh until the end was able to hold on to a draw, but there was no luck. The progress of the “flammable” under the leadership of Evseev is impressive. It seems that at home at least he will not lose to Sochi, who have big problems with travel. Winning the game with Baltika is not an indicator. But the bad results at the end of last season – very even.
