Lokomotiv – Pari Nizhny Novgorod
Lokomotiv and CSKA will play at home
Also on Saturday, Lokomotiv will host Paris NN, the meeting will begin at 14:15 Moscow time. The railroad workers are in 6th place in the standings with 15 points. The Nizhny Novgorod team is in 8th position with 14 points. This game will be the seventh between the teams in official tournaments, Paris NN won once, this happened on August 31, 2022 in the Fonbet – Russian Cup match, the meeting ended with a score of 2:0.
Two-time Russian Cup winner with Lokomotiv Dmitry Bulykin believes that a victory over Zenit could have a negative impact on the team. “I expect a lot of goals, the teams will want to win and show a good game with great dedication,” Bulykin told TASS. — Let’s see what form Lokomotiv will be in after the victory over Zenit. I will say that Nizhny Novgorod is the kind of opponent that you can’t beat just like that, they showed this in the last meeting, so it will be a very interesting game. “Lokomotiv” may come out a little relaxed after “Zenith”, but the team may pay for it, considering how [главный тренер “Пари НН”] Sergey Yuran is a motivator. I think he will set the team up very well for Lokomotiv.
Bulykin believes that Lokomotiv forward Artem Dzyuba will have a chance to score in the match with Paris NN. “Yes, it’s time for Dzyuba to score, because he plays for the team, takes, wins the fight, this is a plus for any striker,” Bulykin noted. “But goals are important to a striker, so of course he will try to score. “Nizhny Novgorod is the club that he can score against, he will have opportunities, the main thing is that he realizes them.”
