Tekstilshchik (home)
- Tekstilshchik are on a 5-match winless run across all competitions (D1, L4).
- Tekstilshchik's recent form has seen them lose 4 of their last 5, with defeats to Rotor Volgograd, Gazovik Orenburg and YFK Shinnik Yaroslav continuing a 3-game losing streak that has them propping up the rest of the league.
- Dmitri Pyatibratov's side, who have been under his stewardship since 1st July 2026, have tried to play with a little more creativity than the team that preceded them, but they have leaked plenty of goals and continue to do so.
- At home, they've played 6, won 0, drawn 2 and lost 4 in the FNL 2026/2027, so they have by no means been a safe haven for the hosts.
- Tekstilshchik's average of 0.67 scored and 2.00 conceded per match at home tells the story of a team who sit 18th in the FNL 2026/2027 with 7 points from 13 matches.
Chelyabinsk (away)
- Chelyabinsk have lost 1 of their last 5 games across all competitions (Won 2, Drawn 2).
- Chelyabinsk are in much better form, going unbeaten in 4 of their last 5 across all competitions (Won 2, Drawn 2) and have put some real momentum to their campaign.
- Roman Pilipchuk's side, who have been under his watch since 19th April 2024, have played some of their best soccer since he took the helm in their recent run of 2-1 win over FC Ufa, 1-1 draw with Yenisey Krasnoyarsk and 4-2 away win over Neftekhimik.
- Chelyabinsk average 1.43 scored and 1.57 goals conceded per away match, which should ensure a live game.
- Chelyabinsk are 11th in the FNL 2026/2027 with 15 points from 13, comfortably in the clear from the relegation zone, but still in search of a winning run.
Key Players
- Arseniy Filev is their top scorer in the league with 2 in 11.
- Matvey Urvantsev has been on a scoring streak for the visitors, bagging 4 in their last 5 as they've netted 8 times in that period.
- Ramazan Gadzhimuradov is their main finisher in the FNL 2026/2027, however, with 6 in 12 and he'll be the one to watch on Sunday.
Betting Insights
- FC Chelyabinsk are set to be the slight favorite at 2.35 for their FNL 2026/2027 clash against FK Tekstilshchik TeleCom Ivanovo on Sunday, which makes the double chance option on the visitors very attractive.
- The home team are 3.1 on the result market.
- Under 2.5 goals at 1.7 should keep the game tighter than Chelyabinsk's odds suggest, but we're going for both teams to score at 1.84 and a Chelyabinsk win here.
Prediction
- Under 2.5 goals at 1.7 should keep the game tighter than Chelyabinsk's odds suggest, but we're going for both teams to score at 1.84 and a Chelyabinsk win here.
- Away from home, they've won 2, drawn 2 and lost 3 from 7 trips, so they're beatable, but it's more likely that the momentum they're building will see them nick a goal in a more controlled game.
