Match Prediction: Dynamo Moscow vs. Pari NN
Dynamo's challenging start to the season continues. In the last round, the team conceded three goals in the first half, responding only once. Valery Karpin's side has secured their only victory in the current championship against Rostov, who are even lower in the standings. The win was achieved with a minimal margin.
Nizhny Novgorod received a significant boost of positive emotions after their long-awaited victory. It's worth noting that before the last round, Alexey Shpilevsky's side also won a cup match. The psychological state of Pari NN players is likely better than that of Dynamo, who have yet to meet fans' expectations.
I believe the Moscow club will soon start delivering better results, but even a match against a lower-ranked opponent won't be an easy walk for Dynamo. I think Nizhny Novgorod will hold a positive handicap. My prediction: Pari NN with a handicap (+1.5)
