Fakel Voronezh

• Fakel Voronezh lead the FNL 2025/2026 table with 52 points from 24 games.
• FNL 2025/2026 promotion-chasing leaders Fakel are odds-on favorites to beat Kamaz Nab Chelny at home on Saturday, and they certainly warrant their 1.72 label given their dominant home record and solid defence.
• 4-2-3-1 is Fakel’s favourite formation that sets up for a compact midfield and a talented No.10 to create chances and break lines.
• They dominate possession and create chances, while they are also solid enough at the back to keep the opposition at bay.

Kamaz Nab Chelny

• Kamaz Nab Chelny are 5th in the FNL 2025/2026 with 37 points from 25 matches.
• Kamaz favour a 4-4-2 system or 4-3-3 that keeps their shape compact, defends well and makes it onto the flanks quickly when they win the ball back.
• This should be a chess match between two well-disciplined teams that know what they are trying to achieve - Fakel promotion and Kamaz a playoff place.
• Fakel have won two and drawn two of their last four home games to keep their unbeaten home run going, while Kamaz have one win and one defeat from their last two away, so the leaders are in the better place.

• Pusi Belaidi has been the talisman for Fakel all season and is his team's top scorer in the FNL 2025/2026 with 14 goals in 24 games.
• He has scored two of Fakel’s last three goals and could make the difference on Saturday, whereas David Karaev is Kamaz Nab Chelny’s main threat with 11 goals in 25 FNL 2025/2026 games.
