⭐ Editor's Pick
The bookmakers have Nizhny Novgorod as clear favourites, and the early-season form backs that up. Three wins from three - the only side in the First League yet to drop a point. They look like genuine promotion contenders and are noticeably stronger than Shinnik in terms of squad quality. With the home crowd behind them, the league leaders should control this one and keep the winning run going. Nizhny Novgorod win is the call. Predicted score: 2-1.
