SPK vs NIN Dream11 Prediction: Spartak Moscow returns their attention to the Russian Premier League after suffering a disheartening 0-2 loss to Portugal based outfit Benfica in the UEFA Champions League qualifiers. It is the unbeaten Nizhny Novgorod who makes the trip to the Otkritie Arena, posing a stiff challenge for last season’s runner ups.
This should be a fairly comfortable home win. It is an encounter between one of the best sides in the country against a newly-promoted team. Spartak Moscow have began their season with a win and a defeat. That defeat came away against the fairly strong Rubin Kazan but Spartak will be concerned by the lack of rhythm so far. Nizhny Novgorod have picked up four points from their opening two with similarly stifling results of 1-0 and 1-1. The home team will be the favourites but, given the opening two matches of the two teams, both team can score in this clash.
