Kemerovo secured a 2:3 victory over hosts Yaroslavl in the Russian Cup on Wednesday, 10 September 2026. The match took place at 13:30 local time and saw the visitors claim all three points away from home.
The result adds to a difficult run for Yaroslavl, who sit second in the table with eight points from six games. They have lost three of their last five matches, including a streak of defeats to Surgutsky Rayon ending 1:3 on both occasions. The hosts had not lost to Kuban prior to this encounter.
Kemerovo arrived with momentum of their own, having won their previous meeting against the same opposition 3:0 on 5 April. More recently, they claimed a 3:0 victory over Gor'kiy Nizhny Novgorod on 9 September, showing they were in good form ahead of this cup clash.
The standings now shift slightly for both sides. Yaroslavl remain in second place but their winning streak has been halted. Kemerovo move up the table with this away victory, though the exact position depends on other results across the competition.
Our prediction had backed the visitors to win with 73% confidence, and the result vindicated that assessment. Kemerovo worked hard in the channels and took their chances when it mattered, while Yaroslavl failed to close out a game they might have expected to win at home.
