Pari NN vs Akhmat Prediction 20 September 2025
🔊 Can Pari NN escape the relegation zone in the Russian Premier League? To achieve this, they need a victory in Saransk at the "Mordovia Arena," where the team still plays their home games. The move to Nizhny Novgorod is expected only in October. A win would allow them to catch up with Akhmat, who, under Stanislav Cherchesov, consistently collects points but struggles to secure a spot in the middle of the standings. The visitors are considered favorites, but we'll explore different scenarios to make a well-founded prediction.
Head-to-Head
📊 Over the last 10 head-to-head encounters, both sides have claimed five victories each. Last season, Akhmat twice defeated Pari NN in the Russian Cup (4-1, 2-1). However, in the Russian Premier League, they failed to secure any points (0-2, 0-1).
Last season, the Nizhny Novgorod side scored in every match. Considering previous seasons, this streak has now reached eight games. Pari NN have never outclassed Akhmat, but they consistently find the back of the net against them. Therefore, it's worth considering the bet - home team to score.
H2H Stats Matches and Previous Teams Results
Pari NN Team Overview
Pari NN in the RPL have managed just two victories. The first came in August against Dynamo Makhachkala (2-0). They had to wait four weeks for the second. In the last round, under Aleksey Shpilevskiy, they delivered their best performance yet, defeating Orenburg (3-1) - a fellow contender in the relegation battle. Juan Boselli scored twice, and his impact on the attack is hard to overstate. The coach oddly referred to the match against Orenburg as a nine-point battle. Well, he succeeded in that, but it's crucial to build on this success.
During the week, Pari NN played their fourth match in the Russian Cup. They were close to defeating Dynamo Makhachkala again. At least Juan Castillo put the team ahead in stoppage time of the first half, and they gained a numerical advantage in the second half. Surprisingly, the Nizhny Novgorod side not only allowed their opponents to equalize but also lost the match (1-2). Their chances of advancing to the RPL Path playoffs are almost gone, but they can still fight for third place in the group and continue their campaign in the Russian Cup.
Match Results: Pari NN
Akhmat Grozny Team Overview
Under Stanislav Cherchesov, Akhmat remain unbeaten in the RPL. However, they've settled for draws in three consecutive rounds. In their clash with Orenburg (2-2), the team managed to level the score despite being down a man. Meanwhile, in encounters with Rostov (1-1) and Lokomotiv (1-1), the Grozny side struck first. In the latter match, they conceded 11 minutes before full time. Throughout the game, Cherchesov made attacking substitutions, clearly aiming to net a second goal.
This week, Akhmat traveled to Saint Petersburg to face Zenit with nearly their best lineup. Yet, this wasn't enough to overcome the "Blue-White-Sky Blues," who had a much deeper rotation. By the hour mark, Cherchesov's squad were already trailing by two goals. They only managed to narrow the gap late on (1-2). Following this defeat, Akhmat dropped to the bottom of the group, but they still have a shot at advancing to the RPL Path playoffs.

Latest news
Pari NN
🎙 Aleksey Shpilevsky attributed the defeat to Dynamo Makhachkala in the Russian Cup to the inexperience of his players: "I think everyone saw that we were giving young guys a chance. The first half was very strong... In the second half, especially after the sending off, we beat ourselves, as in many other matches... Unfortunately, the guys are inexperienced. Makhachkala brings on Agalarov, Miro, and with all due respect, who do we have coming off the bench? But I am very proud of the guys. They did everything they could, the plan was executed, but such childish mistakes cannot be made."
❌ In the upcoming match, Aleksandr Ektov, Valery Tsarukyan, and Edgardo Farina will be sidelined due to injuries. Yaroslav Krashevsky will miss the game due to suspension after receiving a red card four minutes after coming on as a substitute in the match against Orenburg.
Akhmat Grozny
🎙 Stanislav Cherchesov commented on the defeat to Zenit in the Russian Cup: "It's never easy against Zenit, and we anticipated a match like this. We struggled with set pieces today, even though we did score from one. Still, it doesn't align with our standards of understanding. We'll keep working harder. I'm grateful to the guys for their performance, especially in the second half."
✅ Akhmat are preparing for the match with a full squad.
🟨 Yellow Card Prediction
In the Russian Premier League, Pari NN are more frequently shown yellow cards, averaging 3.3 compared to 1.9. They nearly double their opponents' average (1.8). Meanwhile, Akhmat's opponents have similar figures to those of Nizhny Novgorod (3.5). Therefore, betting on a home win in yellow cards seems justified.
⚽️ Goal Prediction
Pari NN have scored in 8 of their last 9 home matches in the Russian Premier League. The team has been on an upswing lately, making it likely they will find the net, especially considering Akhmat have kept only one clean sheet in their last 26 away games. Thus, a bet on the hosts to score is recommended.
🚩 Corner Prediction
The teams do not typically produce a high number of corners in the Russian Premier League. Akhmat hold a slight edge (3.5 compared to 3). Matches involving Akhmat average 7.4 corners. In their last four head-to-head encounters, there have been no more than nine total corners. Therefore, betting on total corners under 9.5 makes sense.
Editor's Prediction
Ahmat have drawn their last three matches, but in their last ten head-to-heads, there has always been a winner. This streak is likely to end with a victory for the Grozny side, especially since they remain unbeaten under Cherchesov in the league. We suggest a potential scoreline of 1-2 in their favor.
Pari NN have adopted a more attacking style this season, though they initially struggled with scoring. Recently, they've found some consistency in front of goal, notably netting three against Orenburg. While goals can be expected from the hosts, the visitors are favored to outscore them. Therefore, our key bet is on both teams to score (yes), which has come through in six of Ahmat's last seven matches.
