Head-to-head statistics Pari NN - Kryliya
Pari NN Team Overview
Under the guidance of Aleksey Shpilevskiy, Pari NN have spent just three weeks outside the relegation or playoff zone this season. They didn't start the second half of the championship well, suffering a defeat to Lokomotiv (1-2), despite having a numerical advantage. However, there's hope, as they managed to secure a victory against Sochi (2-1) in the following round.
While triumphing over the RPL's main underdog might not be particularly telling, especially since Sochi aren't a primary rival for Pari in their fight to stay in the top division, it's worth noting that the Novgorod side outshot Sochi almost fourfold (19 to 5) and also had a higher expected goals tally (1.15 to 0.9).

Krylya Sovetov Team Overview
Krylia Sovetov, unlike their upcoming opponent, spent a significant part of the first half of the RPL season among the top ten teams. However, throughout the championship, the Samara side have gradually slipped towards the relegation zone. Since the league resumed, their gap from the basement competitors has narrowed by three points and now stands at just two points.
Nonetheless, Magomed Adiev's team are still battling to retain their top-flight status by defeating direct rivals. In the previous round, Krylia Sovetov hosted Dynamo Makhachkala and secured a convincing 2-0 victory. Despite the visitors having a slight edge in possession (54% to 46%) and shots (9 to 8), the hosts were far more clinical, as reflected in the expected goals metric (1.12 to 0.88).

Latest news
Pari NN
🎙 Forward Krasnodar's Olakunle Olusegun, currently on loan at Pari NN, shared his thoughts on working with Nizhny Novgorod's head coach Alexey Shpilevsky. "Overall, I believe Shpilevsky could easily manage top RPL clubs. He has all the necessary qualities for it. I truly believe he could succeed," Olusegun stated.
❌ Since the summer, Alexander Ektov has been sidelined with an injury. Additionally, Edgardo Farina will miss the upcoming round due to an accumulation of yellow cards.
Krylya Sovetov
🎙 The head coach of Krylya Sovetov reflected on his team's victory over Dynamo Makhachkala. "We understand where we are right now. It's not the position that suits the team. It was a good and necessary win. We emphasize to the players that we can only help ourselves. Of course, some win, some lose, but we must focus on our own game and earn points ourselves," said Magomed Adiev.
❌ The only loss for Krylya in the upcoming round is Vadim Rakov. The top scorer for the Samara side has been out since November and is unlikely to return to help the team for the rest of the season.
⚽️ Goal Predictions
Krylya come into the upcoming match in high spirits, riding a two-game winning streak in both the cup and the league. In each of those matches, Magomed Adiev's squad found the net twice. Meanwhile, the team from Novgorod have also been consistently scoring since returning from the winter break. The head-to-head stats suggest an exciting encounter ahead: in 5 of their last 7 meetings, both sides have managed to score. With these factors in mind, we recommend a bet on both teams to score (yes).
🚩 Corner Predictions
Zaur Tedeev often employs variations of the 3-4-3 formation with Krylya Sovetov. Depending on the opponent's strength, this can shift to a 3-1-4-2 setup, as seen in the match against Dynamo Makhachkala. One constant is the crowded midfield, where their attacks typically originate, rarely spreading out to the flanks, which means the ball doesn't linger near the opponent's corner flags. This is reflected in their average corner count in the RPL, where Samara sit at the bottom. Given these insights, we suggest betting on Krylya Sovetov's total corners under 4.5.
Editorial Prediction
It's tough to predict who will emerge victorious in the battle for survival in the RPL. The teams seem evenly matched, and historically, their encounters have been quite balanced as well. In such situations, it might be wise to look at additional indicators. Their head-to-head clashes often feature intense battles: in five of the last seven meetings, there were at least four yellow cards issued.
Given the current standings, it's reasonable to expect a high level of intensity in this match-up. We believe there's a strong likelihood for a bet on total yellow cards over 3.5 to come through. As for the outcome, we wouldn't risk favoring either side; a draw (1-1) seems like a fair result.
