Team News

Baltika
Nizhny Novgorod
  • Serbian defender Ivan Ostojic missed the last couple of matches because of a recent injury and is a doubt here.
  • Apart from the Serbian defender, head coach Sergey Ignashevich has a full squad to choose from ahead of Saturday’s important match.
  • Midfielder Nikolay Kalinskiy is suspended after receiving his fourth yellow card of the season in last round’s match at Kazan.
  • Midfielder Ilya Zhigulev has been recovering from a recent surgery and will be out for an undisclosed period of time.
  • Juan Manuel Boselli remains sidelined because of a broken hand, but is likely to return to training in the near future.
  • Defender Dmitry Zhivoglyadov missed last round’s match because of illness and is a doubt here.

Prediction

  • FC Baltika haven't won a league match since October 2023 and remain in a perilous position in the standings. Sergey Ignashevich’s men are forced to get the three points here.
  • FC Pari NN pulled off a surprising win at Kazan last time out and on a good day might cause FC Baltika a major upset as well.
  • Judging by both sides’ recent performances, a draw is the most likely outcome.
