⚽️ 20:00: Krasnodar – Pari Nizhny Novgorod, RPL, round 3
Intrigue: Will Vladimir Ivic’s team get the third victory of the season?
Krasnodar surprises at the start of the season. The team has already won two victories over Dynamo and Sochi, showing a confident game. There was talk of Krasnodar being a contender for the top 3 in the championship. The upcoming match with Pari NN can help the bulls to gain a foothold in this status. Sergei Yuran’s team scored just one point in the first two rounds, but they don’t look like a weak opponent. However, it is important for Krasnodar to regularly score points in order to fight for the highest places. You cannot lose points in a home game with a stranger.
