CSKA vs. Paris NN: Match Prediction
In the last round, the "Army Men" confirmed their status as the best home team in the RPL 2025/26. In their own stadium, the Moscow side has won 6 matches, dropping points only against Krasnodar. However, they managed to score against the reigning champions, and CSKA's home scoring streak now stands at 15 matches.
Aleksei Shpilevski's side, on the other hand, has not picked up a single point away from home in the current championship. Moreover, Nizhny Novgorod has lost 14 consecutive Premier League matches, failing to score in 11 of them. Breaking through CSKA's defense, which ranks in the top four for reliability, will be challenging with such statistics. Meanwhile, Paris NN has conceded at least twice in 5 away matches in this tournament edition.
The Moscow side has defeated Nizhny Novgorod in their last four RPL meetings, scoring 14 goals during this period. This is another factor supporting the prediction "CSKA to win and Total Over 1.5 goals".
