📏 Form Guide

Nizhny Novgorod

LLWLLL 📉

Nizhny Novgorod will be hoping to return to winning ways here following a 2-0 Premier League loss in their previous game against FC Khimki.

In that game, Nizhny Novgorod managed 53% possession and 15 attempts on goal with 5 of them on target. On the other side, Khimki had 13 shots at goal with 4 of them on target. Lucas Vera (22') and Butta Magomedov (86') scored for FC Khimki.

An interesting trait of more recent Nizhny Novgorod games is seeing a zero in the scoreline.

From their previous six clashes before this one, in 5 of them a bet on both teams scoring would've been a loser. Such a trend isn’t assured to be sustained into this match, though.

Orenburg

LLLLWL

After tasting defeat last time out to Dynamo Moscow in Premier League competition, Orenburg will be hoping to turn things around here.

In that match, Orenburg managed 45% possession and 11 attempts on goal with 6 on target. The only player on the scoresheet for Orenburg was Saeid Saharkhizan (77'). Dynamo Moscow had 23 attempts on goal with 9 of them on target. Jorge Carrascal (38', 41'), Bitello (60'), Luis Chávez (67') and Viktor Okishor (91') scored for Dynamo Moscow.

It is worth noting that Orenburg have made hard work of scoring goals over their previous six clashes, recording the disappointing return of just 3. In those fixtures, Orenburg have also seen the collective goal aggregate against them equal 11.

Coming into this clash, Orenburg are without an away win for the past 22 league matches. Their travelling supporters must be so depressed.

ℹ️ Team News: Orenburg

Due to a mostly healthy group, there is only a single fitness problem for the Orenburg boss Vladimir Slišković to be concerned with. Gabriel Florentín (Muscle injury) misses out for this game.

We think that Orenburg will have to perform well to get anything against this Nizhny Novgorod side who we reckon will get the vital goal that wins it.

We’re therefore anticipating a good battle with a 1-0 winning margin for Nizhny Novgorod at the end of this game.

Let’s see.
