Neftekhimik Nizhnekamsk Team Overview
The team's most recent official fixture took place on in the Pari First League, with SKA-Khabarovsk hosting Neftekhimik. The hosts secured a 2-0 victory.
Here’s a breakdown of the match statistics (Neftekhimik vs SKA-Khabarovsk):
- Possession: 60% vs 40%;
- Corners: 6 vs 1;

- Shots on target: 6 vs 5.
Neftekhimik have traditionally been a strong home side. Over their last ten matches on home turf, they have picked up four wins, drawn five times, and suffered just a single defeat. During this run, the Nizhnekamsk outfit have scored 19 goals while conceding only 9. Their emphatic victories over Chernomorets (4-0) and Spartak Kostroma (3-1) especially highlighted their attacking potential. However, Neftekhimik approach this fixture in less than ideal spirits: they have lost three of their last four games, with a 2-2 draw against Volga providing their only positive result during this stretch.
It’s been a hectic summer for the club. No fewer than 13 players have departed, while Robert Yevdokimov has taken over as head coach. In many ways, Neftekhimik are entering a new era, and these friendlies are less about results and more about finding the right combinations and developing a new playing identity.

KAMAZ tend to play a pragmatic brand of football on the road. Over their last ten away fixtures, the team have picked up four wins, three draws and suffered three defeats. During this stretch, they have scored 10 goals and conceded 7. However, if you set aside their high-scoring victory against Chelyabinsk (7-2), their attacking output looks far less impressive.
The off-season has brought plenty of changes for the Naberezhnye Chelny side as well. Eleven players have left the club, and Anton Khazov now faces the challenge of rebuilding his squad’s core. On top of that, Roman Manuilov-an important figure in defence-could miss out due to illness. Nevertheless, KAMAZ remain a tough opponent for Neftekhimik and consistently manage to pick up points in their head-to-head encounters.
