Preview

Nizhnyi Novgorod go head-to-head with Fakel in the Premier League of Russia on May 17. The match is set to start at 16:00 UTC.

As Nizhnyi Novgorod and Fakel square off once more, the memory of the 1-1 tie in their friendly encounter from 3 months ago still lingers. Nizhnyi Novgorod enter this encounter after securing a victory over Kr. Sovetov in Premier League last Monday.

Fakel, compared to their opponent's recent win, are heading into this match following a defeat to Lokomotiv in the Premier League last Sunday, leaving them without a victory in their last thirteen outings. Their defensive frailties have been apparent as they have been conceding goals for seven consecutive away matches now.

This Premier League clash shines a light on the players who have played crucial roles in creating and converting chances for Nizhnyi Novgorod and Fakel in this campaign. Nizhnyi Novgorod’s top finisher Juan Boselli and Valeri Tsarukyan have played important roles in ensuring their attack, shaped by Viktor Goncharenko’s vision, remains effective. Boselli has already scored ten goals in Premier League this season, while also leading the team in assists, having set up two goals this campaign. Supporting them are Ze Turbo, Nikolai Kalinski and Aleksandr Ektov, who have also chipped in with important goals and assists, adding depth to Nizhnyi Novgorod’s attack.

Meanwhile, Evgeni Markov and Nikolay Giorgobiani have been pivotal for Fakel’s attack, carefully orchestrated by Igor Shalimov, combining to deliver important goals and assists. Markov has emerged as Fakel’s leading scorer in Premier League this season, netting four goals, and continues to shine as their top assist provider, with one goal-creating pass this term. Adding further support are Vladimir Iljin, Aleksey Kashtanov and Ilnur Alshin, who have combined to deliver key goals and assists for the team.
