Nizhny Novgorod U19 vs FK Rostov U19 tips and predictions

Hosts won't threaten FK Rostov U19

Nizhny Novgorod U19 are currently in ninth place as they prepare to host second place FK Rostov U19.

FK Rostov U19 will be rubbing their hands together at the prospect of facing this test. The short price is not exactly good value though. Expect plenty of action as the visitors run out with the win.

The hosts start the match as huge outsiders. On their own soil Nizhny Novgorod U19's goal-scorers haven't been firing on all cylinders. They've been goalless in 9 of their last 18 game on their own soil and regardless of the actual line up they will be facing, that won't be good enough for this test. When defending Nizhny Novgorod U19's performances have shown some confusing signs. They need to tidy things up at the back. Letting in an average of 3.3 goals across their latest 4 games has given their rivals plenty of encouragement.

Unsurprisingly there isn't much argument against the short price available to back the away team. FK Rostov U19 have been victorious in 16 of their last 20 outings. Their best performances have been summarised by their cohesive play in the final third. They've scored three or more goals in 13 of their last 17 games and this is a match-up that will present them with plenty of scoring chances.

With the superiority of FK Rostov U19 it's likely they keep Nizhny Novgorod U19 out of contention. It might not be a popular opinion but the No BTTS bet is the pick.

The hosts come off a discouraging 8-1 defeat last week against CSKA Moscow U19.
