Match Preview
In the upcoming Russian Cup clash, FK Nizjni Novgorod will host Dynamo Makhachkala at Stade Municipal 1 on Tuesday, 16 September, at 16:30. Nizjni Novgorod enters this match with a mixed bag of results, having won two of their last five outings but suffering three consecutive defeats recently. In contrast, Dynamo Makhachkala has shown more consistency, drawing their last two matches and securing victories in the preceding fixtures.
A significant aspect to consider is the historical head-to-head record, which heavily favours Nizjni Novgorod, with two wins, one draw, and only one defeat in their last ten encounters. Notably, these matches have been low-scoring, with no games featuring over 2.5 goals or both teams scoring. Given Nizjni Novgorod's home advantage and their previous success against Makhachkala, they may look to assert dominance early on. However, Makhachkala's recent form suggests they will be a tough opponent, making it an intriguing matchup to watch.
