Shinnik vs KAMAZ

Shinnik host struggling KAMAZ in round 12 of the FNL's First League, and the table gap already says plenty. Shinnik sit 8th with 14 points, chasing the promotion pack, while KAMAZ are mired in 17th with just 5, deep in the relegation zone. For the visitors especially, points on the road are becoming scarce. Shinnik arrive unbeaten in three: a 2-2 draw with Rotor, a goalless stalemate at Yenisey, and a 3-1 win away at Volga Ulyanovsk. Under coach Artem Buloychik, set pieces have been a reliable weapon, with defender Daniil Kornyushin a recurring goal threat from dead balls. KAMAZ, meanwhile, remain winless in recent rounds and were beaten 2-0 at Ural last time out, their defense leaking goals all season. The two sides' last meeting, in April 2026, ended goalless. Our prediction: 2-0
