Dynamo vs Torpedo Prediction 1 October 2026
π Dynamo aren't kicking off their October home stand-they're wrapping it up. The clash with Torpedo marks the Muscovites' fifth straight outing at VTB Arena. It's been a tough stretch so far: the Blue-and-Whites have dropped their last two games and managed just one win in five. Torpedo, meanwhile, have played two fewer matches but already sit a point ahead, holding fourth place in the Western Conference. Still, Alexei Isakovβs side arrive in Moscow on the back of a defeat themselves, having failed to find the net against Salavat Yulaev at home.
Last season, the advantage stayed with Moscow.
π Last season, Dynamo claimed three wins from their four regular-season clashes with Torpedo. The Moscow side secured back-to-back victories in Nizhny Novgorod and then dismantled their rivals 4-0 on home ice. Torpedoβs lone response came in January at VTB Arena, where the visitors edged out a 4-3 overtime win, courtesy of Daniil Zhuravlyovβs decisive goal. The teams also squared off twice more in summer friendlies, with Dynamo coming out on top in both encounters.
Head-to-head statistics Dynamo - Torpedo
Eleven matches, eleven points
Dynamo were the first Western Conference side to reach 11 games this season, but have managed just 11 points so far, with a goal differential of 21:28. Their recent run hasnβt improved their standing: just one win in their last five outings and back-to-back defeats. After falling to Salavat, the Moscow club had a chance to bounce back at home against Traktor, but once again dropped points.
The start looked promising. Maxim Letunov opened the scoring in the first period, and two Dynamo penalties didnβt result in goals conceded. Their lead held until the 42nd minute, when Nathan LΓ©garΓ© drew Traktor level. Dynamo failed to convert on their own power play, and the game went to overtime, where just 78 seconds in, Mikhail Rohlgeiser clinched the win for Traktor (2-1). On the bright side for Dynamo, Jordan Weal made his return after a lengthy absence.
Match Results: Dynamo Moscow
Three wins havenβt solved all their problems
Torpedo have played nine games so far, collecting 12 points-one more than Dynamo, who still have two games in hand. Over their last five outings, the Nizhny Novgorod side have picked up three wins, highlighted by a dominant 5-1 victory over Avangard. However, their attack stalled right before the trip to Moscow.
Salavat Yulaev struck twice against Torpedo within the opening eight minutes. The visitors managed to create chances but couldnβt find a way past Semyon Vyazovoy. In the second period, Salavat extended their lead, and late in the game, Torpedo had a power play and pulled their goalie with 3:43 left on the clock-but even with a two-man advantage, they couldnβt make it count. After the final whistle, Alexei Isakov admitted his team lacked energy and said that two early mistakes forced them to abandon their original game plan.

βοΈ Editorβs Prediction
Dynamoβs recent form hasnβt exactly turned heads, but they consistently find ways to score against Torpedo. The Moscow side have netted at least three goals in each of their last seven head-to-head meetings. On home ice, that run is nearly as impressive-Dynamo have scored three or more in six straight games against the Nizhny Novgorod club. Last season, Dynamo defeated Torpedo three times and managed to put up no fewer than three goals in all four encounters. My pick: Dynamo Moscow over 2.5 team goals.
Will this prediction come true?
