Baltika KaliningradPositive40%
Baltika has a stable defensive record with 4 clean sheets in their last 10 matches, showing the defense has been very effective at times.
Baltika demonstrated the ability to recover form after a defeat, as evidenced by their 2-0 victory over Krylya Sovetov immediately after a three-game losing streak.
The open playing style with a Both Teams To Score (BTTS) rate of 50% indicates a good ability to create goal-scoring opportunities and is not overly pragmatic.
A stable squad structure with key players such as goalkeeper Evgeniy Latyshonok and defenders Sergey Varatynov, Nathan Gassama, ensures continuity in the playing style.

7th place on the league table with 12 points after 10 matches shows the team is maintaining a moderate level of competitiveness in the tournament
The 5-4-1 formation remained stable during 70% of the match, but there has been no significant tactical change to improve performance.
The goals scored and conceded ratio is relatively balanced (1.2 goals per game and 1.0 goals per game), showing that the team can control the game well but is not overly impressive.
Negative30%
Poor disciplinary record with 29 yellow cards in 10 matches (average of 2.9 per game), reflecting a lack of emotional control and numerous dangerous fouls
The defense played inconsistently, with a match where they conceded 3 goals (a 1-3 loss against Zenit Petersburg) but also had a match where they kept a clean sheet
The lack of consistency in the playing style, between decisive victories and heavy defeats, reveals the difficulty in maintaining stable performance.
The reserve team lacks competitiveness, with substitute players such as Loris Mouyokolo or Eldar Ćivić not having stable performance to replace the starting players.
FK RostovPositive35%
Rostov has a stable core of players with key figures such as Andrey Langovich, Ivan Komarov, and Timur Suleymanov, playing a pivotal role in both defense and attack, maintaining consistent performance throughout the season.
Rostov has previously defeated strong opponents such as CSKA Moscow (2-0) and Lokomotiv Moscow (1-0), demonstrating their ability to create upsets against tough opponents.
The ratio of matches with goals from both sides reaches 50%, showing that Rostov does not rely entirely on a defensive approach and maintains initiative in matches.
Neutral30%
Rostov is in 12th place in the league table with 11 points from 10 matches, reflecting an average level of competition in the race for promotion.
Rostov tends to flexibly adjust their tactical formations (4-3-3, 5-4-1, 4-5-1) depending on the opponent, demonstrating adaptability but lacking consistency in applying different formations.
The average goal-scoring rate is 1.1 goals per game and the average goal-conceding rate is 1.7 goals per game, indicating a balance between attack and defense but not sufficient to create a significant advantage.
Negative35%
Rostov has gone through a period of unstable form with an inconsistent sequence of results, including 5 losses, 1 draw, and 4 wins, highlighting a lack of consistency in their style of play.
Weak defensive ability, conceding 17 goals in 10 matches (an average of 1.7 goals per game), with 30% of matches lost without scoring a goal, reflects a lack of focus and weakness in critical defensive situations.
The high number of yellow cards (17 cards) and 1 red card in 10 matches indicate a serious match discipline issue that could affect tactics and psychology in major matches.
The injury of Aleksey Mironov, an important central midfielder, has caused a major blow to the team's style of play, forcing the team to rely on less experienced players in the central position.
