Head-to-head statistics Neftekhimik - SKA-Khabarovsk

Neftekhimik Nizhnekamsk Team Overview
In their previous Liga PARI match on 25 October 2026, Neftekhimik drew 1-1 at home with Leningradets. The visitors had more than twice as many shots - 11 to 5 - but Neftekhimik led on shots on target: 3-2.
Neftekhimik go into this match having lost four and drawn one of their last five games. Over their last ten matches they have won just twice and lost seven, which points to a deep slump in form. Their attacking output has been low - just 0.9 goals per game over that run, and even lower across the season as a whole at 0.73. They have been conceding more than one goal in almost every match, and the defence looks vulnerable even against sides directly around them at the bottom of the table. Their motivation is high given the need to climb out of the relegation zone - every match at this point feels like an opportunity to turn things around.

Prediction for the 1st half
SKA-Khabarovsk have scored in the first half in 8 of their last 9 matches. That trend is directly relevant to the selected bet and covers nine games, though there are no separate first-half away statistics available. With that limitation in mind, the bet is SKA-Khabarovsk to Score in the First Half at 2.24*.
Total Goals Prediction
Over 1.5 goals have landed in 13 of SKA-Khabarovsk's last 14 matches. In their last ten away matches, the team averaged 1.8 goals scored, while Neftekhimik averaged 1.8 goals conceded per game in their last ten home matches. At the same time, under 3.5 goals came in in 10 of Neftekhimik's last 11 matches, which doesn't contradict the chosen line. The bet is Total Goals - Over 1.5 at odds of 1.44*.
Corners Prediction
Total Corners - Over 8.5 has landed in 6 of Neftekhimik's last 7 matches. It's a relevant run on the right line, though there are no corner averages for either side in the available data. The basis is therefore limited to one sample, but it's enough to consider Total Corners - Over 8.5 at odds of 1.51*.
High-Risk Bet
SKA-Khabarovsk have drawn their last three away matches and have gone without a win on the road in 13 of their last 14 away games. This season they have three away draws, but Neftekhimik have only one draw at home against six defeats - a notable limitation on any prediction. Given the heightened uncertainty, a draw in this match is worth considering at odds of 3.10*.
Safer Bet
Neftekhimik have scored under 1.5 goals in 9 of their last 10 head-to-head meetings. More recent figures support the selection too: at home this season they average 0.63 goals per game, and across their last ten home matches the figure is 0.8. The head-to-head record serves as an additional argument here; the bet is Neftekhimik Team Total - Under 1.5 Goals at 1.36*.
Correct Score Prediction
According to the probability distribution provided, the top three most likely scorelines are 1-1 (13.46%), 1-0 (10.35%) and 0-1 (10.02%). The 1-1 draw has the highest probability, while the figures for 1-0 and 0-1 are close to each other.

⭐ Editorial Prediction
A match between two sides in the relegation zone often tends to be cautious, but SKA-Khabarovsk's recent statistics point to a fairly high scoring rate from the visitors' side, while Neftekhimik's defence regularly makes mistakes even at home. The main factor here, however, is the trend for Total Corners - Over 8.5 for Neftekhimik, which has consistently come in in almost all of their recent First League matches and does not depend directly on the number of goals scored or how the scoreline develops. The editorial's main prediction is Total Corners - Over 8.5.
