Nizhny Novgorod

WLLLLD

In their last game, Nizhny Novgorod drew 1-1 in the Premier League match with Dynamo Moscow.

The only player to score from Nizhny Novgorod was Aleksandr Troshechkin (59'). Yarolsav Gladyshev (71') was the scorer for Dynamo Moscow.

It is worth noting that Nizhny Novgorod have been starved of goals over their last 6 clashes, netting the unsatisfactory return of only 4. In those matches, Nizhny Novgorod have also seen the overall goal tally of opposing teams equal 10. Nevertheless, it remains to be seen whether that trend will continue on in this game.
