RIVNE, Russia (Interstat) — Peresvet II is a heavy favorite to advance against Kozmos Dolgoprudny when the clubs meet Friday in the Russian Cup of Cup tournament at Stadion Avangard.

Interstat’s ELO rating system gives Peresvet II a 63.60 percent probability of victory. The firm’s game simulator projects a 2-0 final score for the home side.

Peresvet II last took the field over two years ago, securing a 4-3 home victory against Metallist Korolev on Oct. 27, 2023. The long layoff introduces an element of uncertainty for the club from Trekhgorka.

Kozmos Dolgoprudny, meanwhile, looks to reverse its recent form after a 4-1 loss at home to Veles on Sept. 10, 2025. The visiting side has struggled offensively, having been shut out in two of its last four matches, including a 2-0 defeat at Tver on March 30, 2025.

Friday’s matchup will be a test of Kozmos Dolgoprudny’s ability to rebound against a Peresvet II squad that has been idle but is statistically favored to control the match.
