THE PREDICTION

The Russian Premier League concluded last season in bizarre and fairly surreal circumstances. As Russia waged war on Ukraine, following the February invasion, football in Ukraine stopped but Russia continued. Russian clubs have been banned from UEFA competitions for an indefinite amount of time and that has, as unimportant as it seems in the circumstances, killed the competitiveness and meaningfulness with little to play for between top spot and the relegation zone. So, that will have another bearing on the standard and style of these matches - and that must be noted. The home team come into this on the back of an impressive 1-1 draw at home to reigning champions Zenit Saint-Petersburg last weekend. They now face a Nizhny Novgorod side that also earned an impressive point on the opening day of the season, against Zenit Saint-Petersburg. Another draw for the two sides would appear the likeliest outcome for this one.
