Pari NN vs FC Dynamo-Makhachkala Prediction 18 August 2025
π Can Pari NN climb off the bottom of the Russian Premier League table? To achieve this, they need to secure a win against Dynamo Makhachkala in Saransk at the βMordovia Arena.β This venue will host Nizhny Novgorod's upcoming home fixtures. However, expecting a victory against such a well-organized opponent is quite challenging, especially since the team has yet to earn any points in the league. Nonetheless, there is no clear favorite in this matchup.
Head-to-Head
π Over the last three head-to-head encounters, the outcomes have been evenly split. Last season, Nizhny Novgorod triumphed away from home (1-0) but only managed a draw at home (0-0). This season, the teams clashed in the Russian Cup. The match was largely uneventful, but with just 10 minutes left in regulation, Makhachkala took the lead (1-0). Notably, Pari NN failed to register a single shot on target.
Only two goals have been scored across these three encounters, suggesting that the upcoming match is likely to be low-scoring. A potential bet to consider is under 2.5 total goals.
Head-to-head statistics Pari NN - FC Dynamo-Makhachkala
Pari NN Team Overview
π΅ Pari NN have had a dismal start in the RPL, failing to secure a single point across four matches. Despite this, the team hasn't looked entirely hopeless. The talk of a shift towards an attacking style seems somewhat exaggerated. It's telling that the team has only scored twice in the league, and both goals came against Lokomotiv (2-3). In the last round, Pari NN faced their table neighbors, Rostov. However, the outcome was decided by the 11th minute when the Nizhny Novgorod side were reduced to ten men. In such circumstances, they barely counterattacked and conceded just one goal (0-1). Pari NN's head coach, Aleksey Shpilevskiy, deemed the match unfair and vowed for revenge in three days.
π Indeed, the rivals met again shortly after, this time in Saransk for the Russian Cup. This time it was Rostov who were down to ten men, allowing Pari NN to clinch their first victory of the season (1-0), thanks to Juan Boselli's effort.

Dynamo-Makhachkala
π Dynamo Makhachkala's head coach Hasanbi Bidzhiev shared his thoughts on the victory over Spartak in the Russian Cup: "It was a tough match, with both teams rotating their lineups. Spartak started strong, but we managed to level the play. Our guys put on a commendable performance. It was crucial to monitor Spartak's transitions, and our players reacted well. It's unfortunate we conceded at the end. We made a mistake and gave away an unnecessary free kick. Our goalkeeper did an excellent job in the penalty shootout."
π Dynamo Makhachkala have found reinforcements for their attack. The club is expected to sign forward Hazem Mastouri from Tunisian side Monastir. Last season, he played 32 matches and scored 18 goals.
β Dynamo Makhachkala still miss the presence of Yan Dapo, Alexander Sandrachuk, and Soslan Kagermazov.
π¨ Referee and Yellow Cards
The main referee for the match is Inal Tanashev. Last season, he officiated 17 matches in the FNL, averaging 4.29 yellow cards per game. This season, Tanashev has been increasingly involved in the RPL, where he has officiated two matches, including one featuring Dynamo Makhachkala. Over this period, Tanashev has issued a total of 10 yellow cards.
This season, both teams rank high in terms of cautions, with Dynamo Makhachkala leading (4.3 compared to 3.5). Therefore, it's no surprise that matches involving these teams see an average of more than six yellow cards. In this scenario, betting on total yellow cards over 4.5 seems reasonable.
β½οΈ Goal Prediction
Pari NN have struggled to find the back of the net, scoring in only 2 out of 6 matches this season, including the Russian Cup. In 6 of their last 7 games, they have scored no more than one goal. Against a defense like Dynamo Makhachkala's, it's unlikely that the Nizhny Novgorod side will manage more. Thus, a bet on Pari NN total goals under 1.5 appears well-founded.
π© Corner Prediction
This season, Pari NN have an edge in corners (3.8 compared to 2.3). On average, their matches feature 8.8 corners, while Dynamo Makhachkala's see eight. Both teams come into this match with trends suggesting fewer set pieces of this kind. Therefore, a bet on total corners under 9.5 is likely to play out.
Editor's Prediction
Bookmakers offer nearly equal odds for either side to win, suggesting a high likelihood of a draw. However, much will hinge on how Pari NN performs. If they play openly, as they often do, the team from Makhachkala might seize their opportunity. Hence, we suggest a potential scoreline of 0-1.
The upcoming clash will largely depend on individual errors. The side that makes a critical defensive mistake is likely to lose. In such a scenario, it wouldn't be surprising if no goals are scored in the final match of the fifth round. Therefore, our key bet is on total goals under 2.5. Notably, this outcome has occurred in Dynamo Makhachkala's last ten matches.
