Pari NN vs FC Dynamo-Makhachkala Prediction 16 September 2025
🔊 Can Dynamo Makhachkala secure an early playoff spot in the RPL Cup via the League Path? To achieve this, they need a victory over Pari NN at the Mordovia Arena. However, Makhachkala have some unpleasant memories tied to Saransk. It was here that they suffered a defeat in the league against Nizhny Novgorod, who have been and still remain among the main underdogs. Therefore, the visitors are gearing up for revenge, though they are not the favorites. On our end, we will explore various scenarios to ensure a well-founded prediction.
Head-to-Head
📊 Over the course of their last four head-to-head clashes, Pari NN hold the advantage with two wins, one loss, and a draw. This season, the teams have already faced each other twice. In the Russian Cup, the Makhachkala side kept a clean sheet and snatched a late victory (1-0). A month ago, they met again in the league, where Pari NN secured their second win of the season (2-0), though luck played its part.
Head-to-head statistics Pari NN - FC Dynamo-Makhachkala
Pari NN Team Overview
Pari NN are one of the unluckiest teams in the RPL. To illustrate, they haven't played a single home game and have had to wander across Russia. They've found a temporary home in Saransk, where Alexey Shpilevsky's squad have secured all their victories this season. They defeated not only Dynamo Makhachkala but also Orenburg (3-1) last weekend. Juan Boselli stood out with a brace, while Olakunle Olusegun contributed with a goal and an assist.
In the Russian Cup, Pari NN's sole victory came against Rostov (1-0), also in Saransk. Once again, it was Juan Boselli who made the difference in the 74th minute after their opponents were reduced to ten men. Following that, they suffered a heavy defeat to Spartak (0-4), but it's not fair to judge the Nizhny Novgorod side solely on that result. As a result, they sit third in the group and are unlikely to aim for anything more substantial.
Match Results: Pari NN
Dynamo-Makhachkala Team Overview
Dynamo Makhachkala are performing to their potential in the Russian Premier League, hovering near the playoff zone. They have demonstrated a strong home presence, securing 7 out of their 8 points on their own turf. Notably, they clinched a victory over the Moscow side in the Dynamo derby (1-0) before the international break. However, in the last round, Makhachkala couldn't find an answer against Rubin (0-1). The opponent forced them to take the initiative, opening the scoring in the 27th minute, while the "White-Blues" are more effective on the counterattack.
While Dynamo Makhachkala's league performance might be unremarkable, they've surprisingly taken the lead in their group in the Russian Cup with three victories. Although they only managed to edge past Spartak in a penalty shootout (2-1), they comfortably handled Rostov in the following round (3-1). It's worth noting that both of these encounters were played away from home for the "White-Blues."

Latest news
Pari NN
🎙 Alexey Shpilevsky shared his thoughts on whether the match against Orenburg was the best for Pari NN this season: “Probably, yes. It was a solid performance from us. We could have wrapped up the game earlier to avoid the nerves... I think we had plenty of chances in the first half as well. Overall, 70-75 minutes were really strong from us… I'm very pleased. A deserved victory, well done.”
❌ In the upcoming match, Alexander Ektov, Valery Tsarukyan, and Edgardo Farina will be sidelined due to injuries. These are significant losses for the team, although they remain on an upward trajectory.
Dynamo-Makhachkala
🎙 Dynamo Makhachkala head coach Khasanbi Bidzhiyev addressed his players in the locker room following their defeat to Rubin: “I want to thank you, especially for the second half. We played much better in the second half than in the first. At one point in the first half, we eased up a bit, which led to a penalty. What does this tell us? We can never let up. We need to stay close and tight at all times. We started the second half with intensity - it was a completely different game. We had chances and could have scored.”
❌ In the upcoming match, Yan Dapo will be sidelined due to injury. Alexander Sandrachuk has recovered but has been out for a long time, so he is unlikely to feature on the field. Mehdi Mubarik picked up an injury against Rubin and will be out for three weeks. Additionally, Temirkhan Sundukov is suspended due to an accumulation of yellow cards in the Russian Cup.
🟨 Prediction on Yellow Cards
In the Russian Cup, Pari NN hold the edge in yellow cards (2.3 compared to 2). In their two head-to-head encounters this season, they led in this category (2:1, 5:0). Looking back at last season, Dynamo Makhachkala never received more cautions than the team from Nizhny Novgorod. Thus, we suggest betting that Pari NN will not lose in yellow cards.
⚽️ Prediction on Goals
Matches involving Dynamo Makhachkala traditionally tend to be low-scoring affairs. In a stretch of 15 matches, only two saw more than two goals. None of their direct encounters have surpassed this mark either. Therefore, a bet on total goals under 2.5 seems well-founded.
🚩 Prediction on Corners
In the Russian Cup, Pari NN have the upper hand in corners (4.7 compared to 3.3). Matches involving them feature fewer than eight corners. This was the case in their first-round cup match, and even fewer were seen in the league. Hence, it's worth considering a bet on total corners under 9.5.
Editor's Prediction
The upcoming clash doesn't feature a clear favorite, though a slight edge goes to Pari NN, who recently secured a home victory. Dynamo Makhachkala face another away game, and their success on the road has been limited. However, in the Russian Cup, the "White-Blues" remain unbeaten, so regulation time might end in a draw, potentially with a scoreline of 1-1.
Expecting more than two goals in this match seems unlikely, considering both teams struggle to find the net frequently, even with Pari NN's three-goal haul against Orenburg in mind. Additionally, none of their head-to-head encounters have seen more than two goals, with only one side managing to score each time. Therefore, our key bet will be on total goals under 2.5.
