Yenisey: cup progress amid league defeats
Recent results and venue split
Yenisey have lost four of their last five matches. Their current run is three consecutive defeats.
Attacking output and defensive exposure
The cup record is stronger: three wins from three, with nine goals scored and five conceded. Both teams scored and Over 2.5 goals landed in two of those games; one brought a clean sheet. Their sole home cup appearance produced two goals for and none against. That contrast with league results makes the competition split relevant, although three cup matches are too few to establish a dependable scoring pattern.
Tikhonov returns to a difficult position
Andrey Tikhonov returned as head coach shortly before the Leningradets match on 31 October. His immediate task is to improve a side described as among the league’s weakest. Tsesʹ has one cup goal in one appearance. Transfermarkt reports no information on injured or suspended Yenisey players; an empty absence listing does not establish full availability.

Cup scoring and a limited sample
Two cup wins have brought six goals for and one against. Both games exceeded 2.5 goals, while BTTS occurred once. Their only away cup appearance contributed two goals for and one against.

A recent competitive meeting favours the visitors
The only official meeting in the past five years was Nizhny Novgorod’s 5:0 home victory on 10 October. It is a direct comparison, though this tie reverses the venue. Three friendlies produced a Yenisey win and two draws; those results should remain separate from the competitive record.

Market confidence centres on the away side
Nizhny Novgorod are the clear 1X2 favourites, with a margin-adjusted market probability of 65.2%. Their price has shortened over the past 24 hours, while home-win and draw prices have lengthened. That direction is consistent with the contrast in recent results.
The goals markets are less decisive: Over 2.5 goals and BTTS No each carry a 53% assessment and have shortened. The combination reflects a slight preference for goals without requiring both attacks to contribute, rather than strong confidence in an open, two-sided contest.
