This game is likely to be decided late in the first half, as FK Nizjni Novgorod have scored 28% of their total goals in the 31-45 minute period over their last 30 matches, while Volga Ulyanovsk concede most heavily in the 16-30 minute period at 26% and also 21% in the 31-45 minute period. This means the 15 minutes before half-time is when the home side are most likely to score. The home side have won 4 of their last 5 matches, and the 3 wins by a margin of 2 or more goals all saw them score 3-5 goals (5-1, 3-1, 4-2). Meanwhile, Volga Ulyanovsk have lost 3 of their last 5 matches, with 2 losses by a 2-goal margin (0-2, 1-3). If the home side take the lead before half-time, the likelihood of Volga Ulyanovsk opening up in the second half increases the chances for the home side to add more and win by 2 goals as this angle requires.
