⭐ Editor's Pick
In assessing this match, we looked at the current form of both sides. SKA-Khabarovsk are in a prolonged slump and have one of the worst defences in the division - they have already conceded 11 goals, with only KAMAZ, who sit bottom, faring worse. Nizhny Novgorod lead the table not just on points but in goals scored, having netted 21 - eight more than their nearest rival. For a bet on this match, Total Goals - Over 2.5 is worth considering. The hosts' attacking quality should tell, and they will be motivated to bounce back after their first defeat of the season. The statistics support this too: Over 2.5 has landed in all seven of Nizhny Novgorod's matches in this First League campaign. Predicted score: 2-1.
