Neftekhimik

Current Form
Neftekhimik recently played to a goalless draw against Alania in the First League, marking their third draw in the last five matches. The team from Nizhnekamsk started the season strong, sitting in the top three, but has since dropped to the lower half of the standings. This slump is attributed to their inability to secure a win in seven consecutive matches, resulting in four draws and three losses. Under the guidance of head coach Kirill Novikov, the team has yet to compete in the national cup, so it remains to be seen how they will fare against an opponent of a lower caliber.
