Ufa — Yenisey : Match Preview and Prediction for November 03,2025

Ufa’s Current Form and Defensive Issues

Ufa has had a rather underwhelming season so far, managing just three victories in sixteen league fixtures. This poor run of form places them precariously close to the relegation zone, with only a two-point cushion. While their home performances are generally stronger than their away outings, their win rate at home still falls below 50%. Defensively, the hosts aren’t entirely collapsing, but they have conceded goals in their last five consecutive matches. In recent league games, 39-year-old Belenov has been guarding the net, allowing two goals in each of his last three appearances.

Ufa’s Offensive Struggles

Ufa’s offensive line lacks any standout performers. Ortiz leads the team’s scoring charts with three goals, but the Colombian newcomer has faced considerable criticism. Notably, two of his goals came against Chayka, with one being a penalty kick.

Recent Cup Performance and Impact

Midweek saw Ufa compete in the Cup, where they ultimately lost to Neftekhimik in a penalty shootout. This match was physically demanding and undoubtedly left the team in a somber mood.

Yenisey’s Inconsistent Season

Yenisey’s season so far has also been inconsistent. Despite coach Andrey Tikhonov having a talented squad, their performances have been erratic. Last week, Yenisey suffered a heavy 0-5 defeat in Naberezhnye Chelny, which brought an end to their three-match unbeaten run. The coach has since vowed that lessons will be learned, and such a dispirited display will not be repeated by his players.

Yenisey’s Defensive Organization and Key Attackers

Throughout the season, the Krasnoyarsk side has demonstrated a reasonably organized defense. Historically, if Yenisey manages to score an away goal, they frequently come away with points. In attack, much hope rests on Latković and Krashkulov, who collectively netted four goals in October.
