Krasnodar is still a young club by the standards of Russian soccer, which in February this year celebrated its 15th anniversary. In a short time, the Bulls have won three times bronze medals and played in the European cups. In the season 2020/21, they even made their debut at the UCL group stage. In addition, in 2014, they came incredibly close to their first trophy but lost on penalties to Rostov 0:0 (5:6) in the final of the Russian Cup. Vladimir Ivic has an excellent opportunity to make history, becoming their first coach to lead an ambitious team to triumph.

CSKA is more experienced and titled, with a history spanning more than 110 years. During that time, the team won the UEFA Cup once and won the national championship 13 times. Now they can reach the same victories in the Russian Cup. So far, there are 12 of them. The last time they became the champions was in 2013, after which they could no longer get to the cherished trophy. Vladimir Fedotov's charges can already take credit for this season, as they became the vice-champion in the Premier League. But they will not stop there, which is why they are in great shape.

The teams that played with relative success before the winter break. In the spring, they reached a completely different level, improving their Premier League position and reaching the cup finals. Both teams are in top form, which portends the persistent and emotional confrontation, but the title is more important for the Bulls. The Southerners have not won a trophy, so they'll be furious at the Luzhniki Stadium. CSKA is already the country's vice-champions, so their bare minimum is completed. 

More recently, the teams already met in the 29th round of the Premier League. That was a tedious and depressing match in the country's south, which ended in a nil-nil draw. Obviously, before the Russian Cup final, the opponents decided not to show each other their trump cards, but now there is no point hiding them. Both teams approach the decisive game with almost no losses in the offensive match. Therefore we can count on a bright and productive encounter. In the last seven meetings in the capital, they scored 23 goals (3.29 on average).
