Kryliya vs Pari NN Prediction 25 July 2025
🔊 Which team will secure their first victory in the Russian Premier League? After the opening round, Krylia Sovetov have at least one point on the board. This is crucial for a team unlikely to contend for a spot in the upper half of the standings. The same can be said for Pari NN. It's doubtful anyone would be surprised if these opponents end up battling to avoid the relegation playoff zone. Therefore, a win is significant for both sides. It's worth noting that the match will take place at the Samara Arena.
Head-to-Head
📊 Over the course of their last 14 head-to-head encounters, Krylia Sovetov hold the upper hand with a 50% win rate. Last season, they confidently defeated Pari NN at home (3-1). However, in the return fixture, Nizhny Novgorod surprisingly took revenge with a 5-2 victory, where Juan Boselli netted four times for them.
Pari NN tends to play an attacking style, which Krylia Sovetov can exploit, especially in the second half. They have scored in the second half in five consecutive home head-to-head matches. On the flip side, Nizhny Novgorod have managed to keep a clean sheet in the second half in just 1 of their last 9 away games. Therefore, a potential bet could be - Krylia Sovetov to score in the second half.
Head-to-head statistics Kryliya - Pari NN
Krylya Sovetov Team Overview
🔵 Krylia Sovetov are in a rebuilding phase - a new lineup, a fresh coaching staff with a different football philosophy, and changes in the management department. All of this impacts the team's results and will affect the entire season.
⚪️ Heading into the first round, Krylia Sovetov had drawn with Spartak (2-2) and lost to Akhmat (0-1). The key takeaway is that the team gained some momentum and managed to establish at least some connections. However, they didn't appear as favorites in the latest Samara region derby, especially since Akron seemed more cohesive. The first half belonged to the Togliatti side, who scored a goal right before the break. After halftime, Krylia struggled to seize the initiative but eventually leveled the score (1-1). Vadim Rakov scored in his debut game. So far, the 20-year-old forward, on loan from Lokomotiv, appears indispensable in Krylia Sovetov's attack.
🔝 Ivan Lepsky is spending this season with Krylia Sovetov on loan. He belongs to Dynamo Moscow, but securing a spot in their starting lineup amidst such competition is challenging. Last season, he even moved to Sokol for more playing time. Yet, in the match against Akron, the defender not only started but also emerged as the best player on the pitch with a rating of 8.6. He led in touches (68), won 64 percent of aerial duels (7/11), and 83 percent of ground duels (5/6), all while facing off against Artem Dzyuba. Remarkably, Lepsky committed only one foul.

Pari NN Team Overview
⚪ Pari NN retained their spot in the RPL not through sporting merit. Even before the lineup of participants was finalized, the club decided to change their coach. Viktor Goncharenko was shown the door, replaced by fellow countryman Alexey Shpilevsky, often compared to Julian Nagelsmann. Shpilevsky is instilling an attacking style in the team, but there's a difference between implementing such a game plan at Kairat or Aris and achieving success, and doing so at Pari NN, where the squad lacks the necessary talent pool.
🔵 In their opening match, Pari NN became victims of their new style, conceding three unanswered goals to Krasnodar. However, it wasn't a major setback as the teams have different objectives this season. The match was far from dull, with Nizhny Novgorod creating chances. Juan Boselli and Danylo Lisovyi stood out, although they failed to score, and individual defensive errors led to a disappointing outcome. It's worth noting that Pari NN had to play their home match in Kazan.
🔝 Juan Boselli was Pari NN's top scorer last season with 11 goals. He was also the most active player against Krasnodar, registering three shots-more than any other player on the field. However, the Uruguayan only shot from outside the box, resulting in a low xG of 0.29. Interestingly, he had the same expected assists figure. Boselli frequently attempted dribbles but only succeeded 38 percent of the time (3 out of 8).

Latest news
Krylya Sovetov
🎙 Krylia Sovetov's head coach shared his thoughts on the draw against Akron: “We are lacking in every aspect: emotionally, in terms of cohesion... Our games will be inconsistent and fragmented until we find our rhythm. I'm pleased the players are following our instructions. I anticipate we'll improve as the season progresses. However, at this moment, we are not where I'd like us to be.”
🎙 Governor of the Samara Region, Vyacheslav Fedorishchev, expressed dissatisfaction with the attendance at the Samara Arena: “You know, I'm not happy with the turnout. When I took office as governor of the Samara Region, Alexander Dyukov [head of the RFU] called me. The first thing he said was: ‘You have a big stadium, but very few people attend.’ We've increased the numbers, taking recommendations from the RFU and our partners. Yet, in such a large stadium, in a region where people love and breathe football, there should be more fans in the stands.”
📌 Robert Ter-Abrahamyan has stepped down as the general director of Krylia Sovetov. Tarkhan Dzabrailov, a member of the club's Board of Directors since January 2025, will take his place.
📝 Krylia Sovetov's transfer activity continues. Midfielder Ilzat Akhmetov from Zenit is expected to join the team soon. This will be a free loan, with Krylia Sovetov covering only part of his salary.
❌ Ivan Oleynikov will miss the upcoming match due to injury. Thomas Galdames was not included in the squad for the first round, so his participation in the upcoming fixture is uncertain.
Pari NN
🎙 Head coach Aleksey Shpilevskiy remains pleased with his team despite the heavy scoreline: “If we set aside the result, I can say I'm very, very satisfied with the guys. What we witnessed... it's painful to accept such a score. We're learning lessons and need to draw the right conclusions. But the team, which was relegated to the FNL just four weeks ago, at times outplayed the national champions today. They deserve a lot of credit. We're not hanging our heads and we're moving forward. I see the transformation in these guys. No one knows their limit yet, but we'll keep working.”
❌ Aleksandr Ektov missed the first-round match against his former team. He was also absent in the last friendly during the preparation period. It is known that the defender has a chronic knee injury and felt pain during training. Therefore, he might be sidelined for an extended period.
🟨 Prediction on Yellow Cards
Analyzing the match statistics over the past year, Pari NN have an edge in yellow cards, averaging 2.2 compared to 2. In the first round of the current season, they received three warnings. In 10 consecutive head-to-head encounters, the Nizhny Novgorod side have collected at least two bookings. Therefore, a bet on Pari NN total yellow cards over 1.5 is highly likely to come through.
⚽️ Prediction on Goals
Last season, Krylia Sovetov struggled significantly in defense. As a result, Magomed Adiev was brought in to strengthen this aspect of their game. However, even under his guidance, the Samara team conceded against Akron and could have allowed more. Thus, it's worth considering the option that Pari NN will score. Especially since Krylia Sovetov have conceded in 22 of their last 23 matches.
🚩 Prediction on Corners
Last season, Krylia Sovetov averaged more corners (4.3 compared to 3.9). However, both teams now have new coaches and a fresh approach to the game. Pari NN are expected to adopt a more attacking style, while Krylia Sovetov will likely focus on defense, at least at the start of the season. In the first round, Nizhny Novgorod outperformed Krasnodar in this aspect (5:3), while Krylia Sovetov fell short against Akron (2:7). Therefore, an intriguing bet would be Pari NN not to lose on corners.
Editor's Prediction
FC Krylia Sovetov enter the upcoming clash as favorites, though their preparation for the new season hasn't been ideal, as noted by their head coach due to understandable reasons. The squad will continue to evolve until the transfer window closes, and a similar scenario unfolds for Pari NN as well. However, their coach has opted for a risky approach, which the team seems to embrace. Despite this, achieving more than a draw in Samara seems unlikely, so we suggest a potential scoreline of 1-1.
Krylia Sovetov will play their second home game, which is an advantage they need to capitalize on for a win; otherwise, they risk slipping down the standings, making recovery difficult. It will be intriguing to see how Pari NN performs in the second round against a relatively equal opponent. If they replicate their performance against Krasnodar, the visitors might at least open their scoring account in the RPL. Hence, our key bet is both teams to score (yes).
