Nizhnyi Novgorod take on Sochi in the Playoffs of Russia on May 31, with the match kicking off at 14:00 UTC.
3 days after their last meeting in Playoffs, anticipation reaches a fever pitch as Nizhnyi Novgorod and Sochi meet again. In their last encounter, Nizhnyi Novgorod secured a 1-2 win. Following their win against Sochi in Playoffs last Wednesday, Nizhnyi Novgorod head into this clash with renewed confidence. However, their defensive frailties have been apparent as they have been conceding goals for five consecutive matches now.
Sochi, in comparison, are enduring a rough patch, entering this game after suffering three losses in a row to Nizhnyi Novgorod, Chernomorets and Torpedo, having failed to win in their last four outings. Their backline has lacked consistency, with goals conceded across five consecutive matches.
This Playoffs match offers a platform for Nizhnyi Novgorod and Sochi’s goal-scorers to step up and leave their mark on the contest. Juan Boselli and Nikolai Kalinski have been pivotal for Nizhnyi Novgorod’s attack, under the tactical direction of Viktor Goncharenko, combining to deliver important goals and assists. Troshechkin has emerged as Nizhnyi Novgorod’s leading scorer in Playoffs this season, netting one goal, as Kalinski continues to lead their creative efforts in the tournament with one assist. Nizhnyi Novgorod have also relied on Viacheslav Grulev, Valeri Tsarukyan and Ze Turbo to energize their attack through key shots and passes.
Meanwhile, Sochi’s attacking options, with Robert Moreno at the helm, have been bolstered by Pavel Meleshin, the team’s top scorer, and Martin Kramaric, both of whom have contributed crucial goals. Pasevich leads Sochi’s scoring charts in Playoffs this season with one goal. Supporting them are Vladimir Pisarskiy, Ruslan Bart and Ruslan Magal, who have also chipped in with important goals and assists, adding depth to Sochi’s attack.
