The first series of matches has already passed in "Russia. Cup. RPL path. Group stage", the team Nizhny Novgorod will host the guests FC Rostov. The game will take place at the stadium Нижний Новгород (Нижний Новгород) - 14 August 2025 year.
The score 4:0 was recorded in the last match between these teams. At that time, the victory went to the club "FC Rostov", which was secured at their home arena.
A wonderful attacking performance by team FC Rostov combined with significant defensive errors from Nizhny Novgorod led to this unfortunate result for the latter..
These teams have a recent history of head-to-head matchups. These encounters showed roughly equal play, it cannot be said that one club looked better than the other.
Let's try to understand and analyze which team is stronger.
Nizhny Novgorod: It is in fourth place in the standings out of 4. Coach Shpilevski, Aleksey continues working with the team, which is in not their best form.
The team has had issues with finishing in recent matches, while defensive mistakes persist. Let's take a look at the statistics:
Last time The team played an away match against the club from the city of Ростов-на-Дону - Ростов 8 месяцев назад. The team can only hope that this game was an exception, as such a crushing defeat was clearly unexpected here.. . There were plenty of fouls in the match, resulting in 6 yellow cards. At 49 minutes, player Боселли, Хуан received a red card, leaving the team to finish the game with a reduced lineup. It could have had an impact on the negative result for the team. In the previous match 9 месяцев назад the team played an away match against the club Динамо Москва. Team Пари Нижний Новгород failed to execute their game plan and secure a victory at home. The score was 3:1.
FC Rostov: Occupies second place in the standings out of 4. This team is coached by Alba Cabello, Jonatan. The team is in good form.
The statistics show a clear imbalance for the guests towards attack. Information about the previously played matches:

Fakel VoronezhIt is preferable to bet on Nizhny Novgorod in the match against Rostov, as the hosts have a long streak of losses that they need to break. The cup is the perfect opportunity for them to do so, especially considering that Rostov has a league match coming up and may rotate their squad. Nizhny Novgorod is in greater need of a win to make up for their previous losses. Taking all these factors into consideration, it is reasonable to expect success for Nizhny Novgorod in this Russian Cup match.
Pari NN is struggling both defensively and offensively, and is mentally unstable. The team shows weak performances at home. Rostov is coping well with Pari NN and has a chance to repeat success. The visitors are mentally prepared for the game and can continue winning. Moreover, in previous meetings, Rostov has shown a higher level of play. Prediction: Rostov win.
In the match Parizh Nizhny Novgorod - Rostov in the Russian Cup, I expect low scoring. Both teams have problems with scoring goals, indicating a lack of efficiency in attack. The teams have a history of playing cautiously, trying to avoid conceding goals. It's also worth considering the significance of the match, which may lead to a defensive style of play. All these factors support the under 2.5 goals total in this game.
Arguments for the prediction: Shpilevsky aims to play attacking football, which can lead to more goals in the match. Pari Nizhny Novgorod is on a losing streak of six matches, but now different line-ups are playing, which can affect the result. Knowing the history of the teams' meetings, it can be assumed that today Nizhny Novgorod will be able to score more than their opponent.
