In the match of the 3rd round of the Russian championship, the players of Spartak Moscow and Nizhny Novgorod will come face to face. On whose side will the victory be in the upcoming confrontation?
Spartak Moscow
Spartak Moscow started the season very uncertainly. Already in the first round, the team of Ruy Vitoria was defeated. In Kazan, the Red and white team lost to Rubin with a score of 0: 1, showing football of not the best quality. In the second round, Spartak got its first victory in the championship thanks to Sobolev's goal, defeating Krylia Sovetov. Another disappointment was waiting for the fans in the LCH qualification, where Spartak lost to Benfica on their own field (0: 2), almost losing the opportunity to reach the next round.
"Nizhny Novgorod"
The Nizhny Novgorod team was considered one of the main contenders for departure from the RPL, but the team of Alexander Kerzhakov played solidly in the first two rounds. In the first match, the Nizhny Novgorod team overcame Sochi with a minimal advantage, after which they painted a draw in Yekaterinburg with Ural - 1:1, showing a very good game in all lines.
Statistics and figures:
- Spartak is the favorite of the meeting;
- The Red-and-White team has 3 wins in 5 meetings;
- Nizhny Novgorod has a 2-match series without defeats;
- The rivals have not crossed paths before.
Forecast
In the last round, Spartak showed weak football in attack, and in the LCH they did not manage to score at all, conceding two goals from Benfica. We bet that each of the teams will focus their attention on the attack. Our forecast will be aimed at breaking through the betting total.
