Rotor Volgograd vs Yenisey

Both R. Volgograd and Yenisey sit level on 10 points in the lower half of the FNL table, with R. Volgograd 10th and Yenisey 11th heading into this one. Neither side has found early-season rhythm, so it's an early chance for either to build some separation from the chasing pack. R. Volgograd arrive in poor form, having lost three straight league games and won just once in their last five. Yenisey have avoided defeat in four of their last five but keep drawing, including back-to-back goalless draws, most recently 0-0 with Shinnik. Abou-Said Eldarushev leads Rotor's scoring with four goals this season, while Marat Tlehugov tops Yenisey's charts with three. Historically R. Volgograd hold the edge with six wins to Yenisey's four in 14 meetings, though the sides played out a goalless draw the last time they met, in November 2025. Our prediction: 1-1
