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 only one victory in the current championship, achieved against Rostov, who are even lower in the standings. The win came with a narrow margin.
Nizhny Novgorod received a significant boost of positive emotions after their long-awaited victory. Notably, before the previous round, Alexei Shpilevsky's team also won a cup match. The psychological atmosphere among Pari NN players is likely much better than that of Dynamo, who have yet to meet fans' expectations.
I believe the Moscow club will soon start delivering good results, but for now, even a match against a lower-ranked opponent does not seem like an easy walk for Dynamo. I think Nizhny Novgorod will hold a positive handicap. My prediction: Pari NN with a handicap (+1.5)
