Nizhny Novgorod has only 2 points after 4 rounds. However, this is not a poor result for a team that spends only its second season in the Premier League, especially since the team played against CSKA, Lokomotiv, and Sochi at the start of the season. We should note that Nizhny Novgorod scores in almost every match (except for against Khimki away), but they conceded 2 times more than they scored.
Rostov drew twice and won twice in the first 4 rounds, with all draws being high-scoring on the road. Valery Karpin’s team is progressing with every game, but the defensive play is still far from ideal.
Last season, both head-to-head meetings ended 1:2. A similar score is likely to be today, as Nizhny Novgorod consistently scores and concedes at home, and we can say the same about Rostov's play on the road.
Our prediction: both teams to score. We recommend the “BTTS- Yes” bet, odds 1.86
