Head-to-head statistics Baltika - Pari NN
Baltika Kaliningrad Team Overview
Baltika have emerged as one of the most consistent teams in the Russian Premier League following the winter break. Under the guidance of Andrey Talalaev, they have suffered just one defeat in their last five matches. Such performances have propelled Baltika into the top four of the league standings, with just a single point separating them from the top three.
In their last outing, Baltika traveled to Kaspiysk and drew 2-2 against Dynamo Makhachkala. The result was largely fair. Although Baltika enjoyed more possession (56% to 44%), both teams created an equal number of dangerous chances, with 13 shots apiece. The hosts had to come from behind in the first half, but the second half saw a shift in momentum, allowing Baltika to snatch a draw in the 81st minute.

Pari NN Team Overview
Aleksey Shpilevskiy's Pari started the second half of the season quite well, securing two wins in the first three rounds of the RPL. Notably, all these victories came at home. However, the team from Novgorod have failed to earn any points in their last two matches. This has pushed them down to 14th place. Currently, the gap to the relegation zone is smaller than the distance to the safe 12th spot: one point versus two.
In the previous round, Pari hosted Rostov and suffered their first home defeat since the winter break. It was a deserved loss: despite both teams almost equally sharing possession (51% to 49% in favor of the visitors), Rostov were more frequent and effective in their attacks (11 shots with 1.18 xG compared to 8 shots with 0.36 xG). The match was decided by a goal from Ronaldo in the 29th minute.

Latest news
Baltika Kaliningrad
🎙 With Andrey Talalaev suspended, Yuri Nagaitsev takes charge on the sidelines for Baltika. Reflecting on the draw against Dynamo, he said: "We settled a bit too early: the game was going well, everything was fine. We couldn’t shake the guys up to play until the end. We talked about it during the break, that we needed to approach the second half just like we did at the start and middle of the first. But we couldn't get through."
❌ Besides the head coach, Andrey Mendel might also miss the upcoming match. The midfielder sustained a shoulder injury in the previous game. His availability for the next fixture is still being assessed by the medical team.
Pari NN
🎙 Paris NN head coach Aleksey Shpilevsky commented on Renaldo Cephas's late arrival from the Jamaica national team: “Cephas today... The fact that he arrived on the day of the game is something we need to address within the club. How is it possible for a key player to land just three hours before kickoff? It's madness.”
❌ Since last season, Alexander Ektov has been sidelined with a knee issue. In the last round, another defender, Ilya Kirsh, joined him in the team's injury list.
🟨 Yellow Card Prediction
Baltika achieve their results largely through a physical style of play. This trend has been evident in most of their matches this season, particularly highlighted by recent statistics post-winter break: in 4 out of 5 games involving the team, there have been at least four bookings. Pari NN are fighting for survival, so they will undoubtedly contest every inch of the pitch, especially away from home. Our prediction: total yellow cards over 3.5.
⚽️ Goal Prediction
Baltika are not among the most prolific teams in the RPL. In the first half of the season, it was common to see the Kaliningrad side securing results through pragmatic victories by a margin of one or two goals. However, in their last two matches, they have netted six times. Whether it's the absence of Talalaev on the sidelines affecting the team or the level of their opponents, these factors will converge again in the upcoming round. It seems reasonable to back Baltika's total goals over 1.5.
🚩 Corner Prediction
Depending on their opponent's level, Baltika switch between a 5-4-1 and 3-4-3 formation. It's clear that against Pari, they will opt for the latter. In both cases, their style isn't heavily reliant on wing play, as reflected in their average corners: Baltika are second-to-last in the RPL with 3.39 corners per game over 23 rounds. Moreover, the Kaliningrad side have not taken more than five set pieces in seven consecutive official matches. The odds suggest a bet on Baltika's total corners under 6.5.
Editor's Prediction
Without Andrey Talalaev on the sidelines, Baltika seem to have found new freedom in attack, surprisingly upping their goal tally. Yes, their defense faltered in the recent clash against Dynamo Makhachkala, but at home, Baltika are expected to be more solid at the back. Meanwhile, Novgorod have managed only six points from eleven away matches in the league, and they haven't drawn a single game yet. Given these circumstances, it seems unlikely they'll secure even a point in Kaliningrad. Our prediction: Baltika win. Expected scoreline - 2-0.
