Nizhny Novgorod have been the real deal this season, bossing the league like proper champions with ten wins from twelve matches and sitting pretty at the top. Their attack is on another level, banging in 36 goals already, which works out to three goals per game on average, and the fans back home dey shout their names every weekend.
Team Form
The team came into the break looking sharp after that six nil thrashing of Leningradets on home soil, where Vyacheslav Grulyov grabbed a brace and kept his spot as top scorer. Only Veles Moscow and Volga Ulyanovsk have managed to stop them so far, but even then those sides needed to score three and two goals themselves to snatch anything.
- Ten wins in twelve games
- 36 goals scored this campaign
- Grulyov leading the scoring charts
- Only two teams have taken points off them
Tactical Analysis
Yenisey on the other hand dey struggle to find the net, with just one win in recent weeks against Arsenal Tula where they managed three goals. The new coach Vyacheslav Molchanov is trying to bring fight for promotion but the first part of the season has been tough for the Siberian side and they lack the cutting edge to trouble a side this hot.
- Yenisey average under two goals per game recently
- Only one win on their current run
- Struggling to create clear chances away from home
- New manager still settling the team
When these two sides meet, expect Nizhny to dominate possession and keep pushing forward with their fast attacking play while Yenisey will look for counter chances but likely fall short against such a strong defense and midfield.
Betting Proposal
The home side should win comfortably with at least a one goal margin given how they are firing on all cylinders right now.
Nizhny Novgorod to win with handicap minus one at 1.85 and both teams to score over two and a half goals at 1.68.
These types look very strong based on current form and the way Nizhny are scoring for fun at the moment.
