Kamaz Nab Chelny
- Kamaz Nab Chelny are playing a pragmatic system, prioritizing defensive solidity, discipline, and counter-attacking in a way that’s a little bit more aggressive than a strict counter-attacking setup, but still relies heavily on the structure, transitions, and pressing of the players.
- Under coach Anton Khazov since October 2025, they’ve posted a respectable record of 4-3-3 at home in the FNL 2025/2026, but they’re coming off consecutive home losses in this fixture.
- Their recent record stands at 1-2-2 in competitive matches, including a 1-1 home draw to Kryliya Sovetov in the Cup, a 0-0 away draw at Rodina Moscow, and a 1-0 away win over Kryliya Sovetov in a friendly match.
Arsenal Tula
- Arsenal Tula’s form has been slightly better of late, winning 2, drawing 2, and losing just 1 of their last 5 competitive matches.
- Dmitri Gunko took over the club in June 2025, instilling a possession-based, control-oriented style of play, where the team will build from the back and try to control the pace of the game with their quality midfielders and unlock defenses with their creativity.
- Their last 3 games have seen them draw 0-0 at home to Rubin Kazan in the Russian Cup before a penalty shootout win, followed by a 0-0 home league draw against Neftekhimik, and a 0-4 friendly home defeat against Dynamo Makhachkala.
Head-to-Head
Kamaz Nab Chelny have a stronger league record, home advantage, and have won 1 of the last 2 head-to-head matchups, which ended 2-1 in their favour 11 months ago , while Arsenal Tula haven’t won in their last 2 trips to Kamaz Nab Chelny.
Key Players
- David Karaev has been Kamaz Nab Chelny’s goal scorer this season, netting 10 goals in 21 appearances, but Daniil Shamkin has chipped in with 2 of Kamaz Nab Chelny’s last 6 goals, so he could be a player to watch in this matchup.
- Amur Kalmykov is Arsenal Tula’s main man in attack, notching 8 goals in 21 FNL 2025/2026 appearances, while Reziuan Mirzov has scored 2 goals in Arsenal Tula’s last 4, so he’s been involved in the action lately.
