LiontipsUfa vs Nizhny Novgorod. Prediction and Betting Tips for Russian Premier League (August 1, 2021).
Command Analysis
Ural performed extremely unsuccessfully last season, spending most of it at the bottom of the standings. But the Bumblebees escaped the relegation battle and finished in 12th place. In the first round of the new season, Ural faced Krasnodar. The Bumblebees lasted 62 minutes, and then the Bulls opened the scoring. Then Ural conceded two more goals, and couldn't score any themselves.
Nizhny Novgorod easily got promoted to the Premier League last season. Throughout the season, Nizhny Novgorod were in the top three and they eventually finished third. But due to Orenburg's disqualification, Nizhny Novgorod went to the Premier League instead. In the offseason, Alexander Kerzhakov took over the team and already in the first round created a sensation with his team - Nizhny Novgorod beat Sochi 1:0 at home.

Tip and bets
Ural lost to Krasnodar in the first round, but the Bumblebees didn't look so much weaker: they had a few chances but missed several excellent scoring opportunities. Physically, the hosts are ready for the season, they have a stronger lineup, plus Ural traditionally plays well at home.
We believe that the visitors have no chance. Our prediction - Ural to win.
Nizhny Novgorod will probably stay on the defensive. At least, they will not rush into the attack from the first minutes. Ural will definitely play more open football, but with an eye on their defenses - in the first round, Nizhny Novgorod have shown that they can use their attacking chances well. With this in mind, we suggest betting on the total under 2.5 goals.
