Anapa Women vs Ryazan Women: match preview on 16 September 2026

Anapa Women to win. The gap in recent form is too wide to ignore: Anapa have taken 6 points from their last five matches while Ryazan have failed to win any of their four, conceding 12 goals in the process.

Anapa's record shows two victories and three defeats across five matches, with 8 goals scored and 11 conceded. They beat MBA Moscow 3-0 away and Primorochka 3-2 at home before losses to Tulitsa, Severstal Cherepovets, and Minchanka. Ryazan's four matches have all ended in defeat. They lost 0-3 to Yenisey Krasnoyarsk, 2-3 to Metar Chelyabinsk 2, 0-3 to Uralochka-NTMK 2, and 0-3 to Omsk. The difference in points is stark.

Only Metar Chelyabinsk 2 managed to score more than once, finding the net twice. Anapa have been similarly vulnerable, conceding 11 goals in five matches, but they have also found the score themselves more consistently. Their 8 goals in 5 matches averages 1.6 per game, compared to Ryazan's 0.5.

A draw suits Ryazan — and given how they run matches when under pressure, that is the main threat. If they can absorb Anapa's early pressure and hit on the counter, the cup format gives them a path. Anapa have lost three of five, so they are not invincible. Their defensive record shows they can be exposed, and one sloppy period could hand Ryazan the advantage they need.

Anapa should take all three points. Their recent results show they can beat teams in this competition, and Ryazan's four consecutive defeats suggest they are still searching for answers. The visitors have not found a way to win recently, and without a change in personnel or tactics, that pattern is likely to continue.
