Enisey vs FC Sochi Prediction

Enisey host FC Sochi on 8 November 2026 at 09:45 in the First League. Sochi arrive as the pick to win. Enisey have lost four consecutive league matches and exited the Russian Cup midweek, falling 1-2 at home to Nizhny Novgorod. The squad is decimated: eight players are currently injured, and Andrey Okлaдnikov and Nikita Shershov picked up fresh knocks against Nizhny. Manager Andrey Tikhonov has minimal rotation options and little time to recover between fixtures. Sochi, by contrast, sit in the promotion zone despite a 0-2 home loss to Uralgan last time out. They have won six straight away matches, including victories over Rotor (1-0), Veles (2-1), and Torpedo (2-1). Only defender Litvinov is unavailable due to yellow card accumulation; Kalinin and Yezhov have returned to bolster the squad.

Form and H2H

Enisey's home record over the last ten matches reads two wins, two draws, and six losses, averaging 0.90 goals for and 2.20 against. Sochi's away form is far sharper: six wins, one draw, and three losses, with 1.30 goals scored and 1.10 conceded per game. The head-to-head record is split, but Sochi have won two of the last three meetings, including a 5-2 demolition in July 2023 and a 2-1 victory in March 2025. Enisey's sole recent win came 1-0 at home in August 2024.

Best bet

Back FC Sochi to win. Enisey are in freefall with four straight league defeats, often by heavy margins. The injury crisis leaves Tikhonov unable to rotate or adjust tactics mid-match. Sochi have the deeper squad, superior away form, and tournament motivation to climb back into the automatic promotion places after their slip against Uralgan. Enisey's defence has conceded at least two goals in four of their last five matches across all competitions. Sochi have scored two or more in half their league games this season and will find space against a stretched backline.
