In the match of the 4th round of the Russian Football Championship, the players of Nizhny Novgorod and Ufa will come face to face. On whose side will the victory be in the upcoming confrontation?
"Nizhny Novgorod"
The players of Nizhny Novgorod spent the last season in the FNL, where they took third place and entered the RPL only " thanks "to problems with the stadium at Orenburg, which finished second. When preparing for friendly matches, Kerzhakov's team showed weak results and did not inspire confidence before the start of the season. However, a dashing start in the national championship forced us to look at this team from a different angle. The hosts started with a victory over Sochi, after which they painted a guest draw with Ural ,and in the last round they slammed Spartak. Seven points scored leave Nizhny Novgorod among the leaders of the RPL.
"Ufa"
The players of " Ufa " in the last season of the RPL were actively fighting for survival and were able to defend their right to play in the strongest division of the country. In preparation for the new season, the Bashkir team held 9 sparring matches, in which they managed to win 4 times, lost three times and drew 2 times. In the current championship, the guest team performs extremely poorly. At the moment, Ufa residents have earned only one point. It happened in the first round meeting against Lokomotiv, where Ufa could have won-1: 1.
