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 a 2-1 win at home to Akhmat Grozny in their most recent outing, last weekend. Sochi have won two and lost one, that one win coming against CSKA Moscow. They now face a Nizhny Novgorod side that come into this on the back of a three-match winless start as they sit down towards the bottom end of the table. Sochi will be expected to win this one, especially with home advantage.
