Pari NN vs Baltika Prediction 26 October 2025
🔊 Can Baltika extend their clean sheet streak in the Russian Premier League? Considering they face Pari NN, a team averaging less than one goal per match, this seems quite likely. However, the "Sailors" are heading to Nizhny Novgorod not just for that but for the three points that would solidify their position in the top five. In our prediction, we'll highlight the likelihood of this outcome. It's worth noting that the match will take place at the Nizhny Novgorod Stadium.
Head-to-Head
📊 Over the last 10 head-to-head encounters, each side has claimed three victories, while four matches ended in a draw. In the 2023/2024 season, the match in Nizhny Novgorod ended goalless. Pari NN couldn't find the net in Kaliningrad either, whereas Baltika scored twice before halftime (2-0).
In Nizhny Novgorod, 3 of the last 4 head-to-head meetings ended in a draw with the same scoreline (0-0). Considering that 8 of Baltika's last 9 matches in the RPL have been low-scoring, it's worth noting the total goals under 2.5.
Head-to-head statistics Pari NN - Baltika
Pari NN Team Overview
Paris NN have suffered 10 defeats in their last 11 matches across all competitions. Any other coach might have been dismissed by now, but in Nizhny Novgorod, they still trust Alexey Shpilevsky and his vision. At times, the team does play impressively. However, they've only managed to collect six points. The situation isn't critical yet. They can still climb out of the relegation zone and move into the playoff spots. Achieving more than that seems unlikely, especially considering they lost to a lower-ranked Sochi (1-2) and failed to break through Akron's defense (0-1) in the last round, despite taking 25 shots on goal.
Recently, Paris NN faced Rostov in a battle for third place in their group and a spot in the playoffs of the Russian Cup's Path of Regions. A disastrous first half was slightly softened by a penalty converted by Juan Boselli in stoppage time. The performance improved after the break, but it wasn't enough to avoid a heavy defeat (1-4) and elimination from the tournament.

Baltika Kaliningrad Team Overview
After their return from the FNL, Baltika have quickly established themselves in the RPL. This is evident as they sit in the top five after 12 rounds and even hold a four-point advantage over Spartak, allowing them some margin for error. The "Sailors" are defensive juggernauts, having conceded just one goal in their last seven matches, suffering their first defeat of the season when they were reduced to ten men and couldn't hold on for a draw against CSKA (0-1). Baltika have also been improving in terms of scoring. They had several goalless draws but recently netted two unanswered goals against Makhachkala's Dynamo and even more against Rubin (3-0). Notably, these teams are often praised for their dueling skills and defensive organization. It seems that in these areas, Baltika are unmatched in the league.
In the Russian Cup, Baltika's approach is entirely different. Here, Andrey Talalaev opts to field reserve players. This was the case in their recent match against Lokomotiv (1-2). Despite this, the Kaliningrad side outperformed the "Railroaders" in many aspects. If not for VAR, which disallowed three goals, Talalaev's squad might have emerged victorious. Ultimately, they collected just five points but managed to advance to the playoffs of the Regional Path, where Baltika might find themselves more at ease.

Latest news
Pari NN
🎙 Aleksey Shpilevsky shared his thoughts after being knocked out of the Russian Cup: "You can't imagine how I feel every time. Again, in three or four days, we have to come out here and find excuses, words, about what will change. We need to show it on the pitch. We see teams with a simplified style of play topping the table, and we need to accept that as well. If the young players of Pari NN don't understand that they need to embrace this fight, this aggression, then nothing will happen. It doesn't matter what formation you play in."
❌ The only player on Pari NN's injury list is Alexander Ektov, who is recovering from surgery.
Baltika Kaliningrad
🎙 Andrey Talalaev commented on the defeat to Lokomotiv in the Russian Cup: "I'm satisfied with my players' performance. Was Baltika better than Lokomotiv on the pitch? Thanks for the compliment. The team that scores more goals plays better. In two months, no one will remember how many goals were disallowed or how many penalties weren't given; only the result will remain."
❌ In the upcoming match, Andrey Mendel will not play as he's been injured for over two months. Additionally, the team has lost two key defenders due to yellow card suspensions-Kevin Andrade and Vladislav Saus.
🟨 Referee and Yellow Cards
The main referee for the match is Inal Tanashev. This season, he's officiated six RPL matches, averaging 4.67 yellow cards per game. In two Russian Cup games, he was stricter, issuing a total of 11 cautions. This results in a fairly high average of yellow cards this season (4.88).
In the league, Baltika have the edge in yellow cards (3.1 compared to 2.9). The total number of cautions in their matches stands at 5.4. Pari NN also have a relatively high figure (4.9). Considering the referee's statistics, betting on over 4.5 total yellow cards seems reasonable.
⚽️ Goal Prediction
Baltika concede an average of just 0.5 goals in the league. No other team comes close to this statistic. They've kept clean sheets in 6 of their last 7 matches. Meanwhile, Pari NN score less than one goal on average, only outperforming Sochi and Dynamo Makhachkala. Therefore, it wouldn't be surprising if the visitors manage another shutout. Betting on Pari NN not to score could be quite profitable.
🚩 Corner Prediction
This season, Pari NN take more corners on average (3.9 compared to 3.3). Baltika have not taken more than five corners in seven consecutive rounds. A similar trend is observed in five consecutive away head-to-head matches. In this scenario, betting on the visitors' total corners under 5.5 makes sense.
Editor's Prediction
Baltika are the favorites for the upcoming clash. Recently, they have been solid defensively, while Pari NN struggle to convert chances into goals. Much of their attacking play hinges on the individual brilliance of Juan Boselli, but the visitors are likely to neutralize the Uruguayan's impact on the game. The "Sailors" appear more potent in attack, though they don't always convert their dominance into goals. However, they've improved in this regard lately, so we're predicting a potential scoreline of 0-2.
Throughout the season, Pari NN have only secured three victories (two in the league and one in the Russian Cup). All other matches ended in defeats, and another seems likely given their inability to cope with the level of competition Baltika will bring to the table. Moreover, Baltika remain in good physical shape, which is crucial to their style of play. Therefore, our key bet is on a victory for the visitors.
