Rostov

However, the team has failed to keep a clean sheet in seven consecutive league matches. In the standings, Rostov is firmly in eighth place with 20 points.
- The team has not lost in 8 of their last 10 home matches in the RPL (5 wins, 3 draws).
- Both opponents scored in 5 of the club's last 7 home league matches.
- At least four goals have been scored in 4 of Rostov's last 6 home games in the Premier League.
Pari NN
In the previous round, Viktor Goncharenko's side played to a goalless draw with Dynamo Makhachkala on their home turf. Over the last seven league matches, Pari NN has picked up points in five games (2 wins, 3 draws). Additionally, they failed to score for only the second time in their last eight RPL outings. The team is in ninth place in the standings with 16 points. Notably, Pari NN ranks among the top five clubs for points earned away from home in the current championship (11 points).
- The club has not lost in 4 of their last 5 away matches in the Premier League (2 wins, 2 draws).

- The Nizhny Novgorod side scored exactly one or two goals in 11 of their last 12 away league matches.
Rostov vs. Pari NN: Match Prediction
Valery Karpin's side plays confidently at home and strives to delight fans with attacking football. Rostov often succeeds in this: in their last 24 home league matches, they failed to score only three times. In 15 instances, the team scored at least twice, and in the current RPL season, Rostov has already netted 13 goals at home – only four teams have a higher tally.
The Nizhny Novgorod team often poses problems for opponents' defenses even in away matches: in their last 12 away games in the Premier League, they failed to score only once. However, their defensive efforts leave much to be desired, as Pari NN has conceded in 18 of their last 22 away league matches.
I anticipate a high-scoring encounter with goals from both sides. My prediction: Both teams to score – Yes
