Volga vs Chertanovo Prediction, H2H Stats & Statistical Bets 5 November 2026
🔉 FC Volga Ulyanovsk head into this Russian Cup tie on the back of a run of low-scoring home games. Chertanovo, by contrast, have scored in nearly every match over an extended period. That contrast makes the visitors’ attack against the hosts’ defence an intriguing matchup. Chertanovo won the teams’ 2019 head-to-head meeting 3-2, but both sides’ current form and recent trends tell a very different story.
First Russian Cup match
📊 FC Volga Ulyanovsk and Chertanovo have never met in the Russian Cup. This match marks their first head-to-head meeting.

The hosts are hitting their stride.
FC Volga Ulyanovsk drew 1-1 at home to Tekstilshchik Ivanovo in their latest PARI League match on 31 October 2026. The hosts led 1-0 at half-time and also had the edge in shots, 12-9 overall and 7-6 on target.
FC Volga Ulyanovsk have not been prolific at home, scoring no more than once in each of their last five matches. They have averaged just one goal per game over their last 10 outings. Although they are unbeaten in their last five, with three wins and two draws, goals have remained hard to come by. Defensively, they have been solid, conceding an average of 0.9 goals per game over that 10-match stretch. But their lack of cutting edge in attack limits their chances of securing comfortable home wins.

⭐ Our prediction
Chertanovo play in the Second Division, and a win would take them into a Russian Cup play-off against Premier League opposition. That would be a major achievement, but FC Volga Ulyanovsk stand in their way. They have looked strong in recent First League matches, scoring regularly and defending well. The Ulyanovsk club are unbeaten in six matches across all competitions, with their last defeat coming in late September. Given the visitors’ strong motivation, we expect Chertanovo to score. Our pick: Chertanovo over 0.5 team goals.
