It is clear that Sochi is a more prestigious team, which has a number of experienced players. Another thing is that the Ulyanovsk team has not yet lost in the Cup and can impose a difficult game on the opponent and will act quite cautiously. On the contrary, the southerners look much more powerful than their opponent, and we assume that the First League representative will confidently make it to the next round of the competition.
