The blue-and-whites started the away week with a tough 3-2 victory over Akron in Samara. Nicolas Ngamaleu converted a penalty in the first half and provided a pass to Arthur, after which the hosts managed to equalize, but Konstantin Tyukavin's goal in the fifth minute of stoppage time earned our team three points.

Kostya recorded his seventh goal in the RPL this year, sharing the lead with Jhon Cordoba. We also note Igor Leschuk's first match in 2026, making several key saves.

"We understand our situation perfectly well. This is more about our reputation. Everyone understands what Dynamo Moscow means to us. Everyone must understand that we must go out and play to win every match. Yes, our standings aren't the best, but that doesn't mean we're giving up on the league," Rolan Gusev emphasized at the press conference.

After a weak first half, Nizhny Novgorod finished the 2025 season with victories over Akron and Dynamo Makhachkala. They also had a strong start to the spring season, defeating Sochi (2-1) and Krylia Sovetov (3-0). Yegor Smelov, who joined Dynamo on loan in September, provided assists in both matches.

Experienced Uruguayan striker Adrián Balboa has fit in well with the team, now forming a highly mobile and technical attack with Renaldo Cephas and Olakunle Olusegun.

However, Nizhny Novgorod has yet to escape the playoff zone. Two consecutive victories were followed by painful defeats – an away loss to Krasnodar (0-5) and a home loss to Rostov (0-1). In the final round, Alexey Shpilevsky's team snatched a draw in stoppage time in Kaliningrad, becoming the third team this season to upset Baltika twice in a match (2-2).

"Regarding the game, we're disappointed with the result, as we lost two points. I told the guys the same thing after the match. We've had some kind of chronic problem: we keep conceding goals in the first five minutes of the second half. We've tried everything, but it's probably a matter of concentration," Shpilevsky remarked after the match.

Pari NN's starting right back, Maxim Shnaptsev, will miss Saturday's match due to an accumulation of yellow cards.

Egor Smelov, who joined the Dynamo system in 2021, may play against his hometown club for the first time (13 matches, 2 assists this RPL season).

And for Vyacheslav Grulev, the match against the former team may already be the 40th in the Pari NN T-shirt (17 matches, 1 goal).

Another Nizhny Novgorod player who played for the Dynamo Academy is midfielder Andrey Ivlev (20 matches).

The teams have crossed paths 12 times, and Dynamo has a big advantage: seven wins, three draws and two defeats. The goal difference is 25:11.

The top scorers of the confrontation are: Daniil Fomin (5 goals), Yaroslav Gladyshev (4), Fedor Smolov (3), Konstantin Tyukavin (3) and Nikolai Kalinsky (3).

The match will be officiated by Andrey Prokopov, who will be assisted by line judges Maxim Gavrilin and Andrey Bolotenkov. Sergey Tsyganok and Artur Fedorov will be responsible for the video Referee Assistance System (VAR).

Previously, a 30-year-old referee from Yaroslavl has never worked at Dynamo matches. This year he made his debut in the RPL, having judged three games.
