Salavat Yulaev Ufa vs Lada Prediction 4 November 2026
🔊 Not long ago, Salavat Yulaev UFA were among the Eastern Conference leaders, but four defeats in five games have dropped them to eighth. HC Lada Togliatti are heading in the opposite direction: they remain bottom of the Western Conference, but have pulled off two straight wins, beating Avangard and reigning Gagarin Cup champions Lokomotiv. The teams head into this match in very different moods, although Salavat Yulaev UFA are still the favourites.
Both teams won on the road.

Nikita Savchuk scored both goals for the hosts. Salavat Yulaev UFA outscored HC Lada Togliatti 8-7 across the two games, but home advantage counted for nothing.
Head-to-head statistics Salavat Yulaev Ufa - Lada
Salavat Yulaev UFA let their lead slip
After a strong run, Salavat Yulaev UFA have lost momentum and now risk dropping out of the Eastern Conference’s top eight. Viktor Kozlov’s side have won just once in their last five games and scored only one goal in two of their previous three. The 2-1 defeats to Ak Bars and Sochi were particularly painful. Finishing is not the only issue: even when Salavat Yulaev UFA take the lead, they have struggled to hold on to it.
That was the case in their latest game against the Shanghai Dragons. After an even first period, Salavat Yulaev UFA struck twice in the second: Maksim Zagrebin opened the scoring before Matthew Maggio doubled their lead. But the Dragons scored three unanswered goals in the final period, netting the winner on the power play with just six seconds remaining. Salavat Yulaev UFA managed only 18 shots on goal to the hosts’ 23, despite spending more time on the attack. Squandering a two-goal lead was another reminder of their problems closing out games.
Match Results: Salavat Yulaev Ufa
HC Lada Togliatti Stun the Favourites
HC Lada Togliatti remain bottom of the Western Conference with 13 points from 22 games, but their recent results stand out against the wider pattern of their season. They first beat Avangard 3-2 in overtime, then won 1-0 away to Lokomotiv. Under Igor Gorbenko, they have found ways to get results even when opponents create far more chances. Goaltender Andrei Mishurov has played a key role, helping HC Lada Togliatti keep a clean sheet in Yaroslavl.
Against Lokomotiv, HC Lada Togliatti managed just 18 shots on goal to the hosts’ 36. The game remained scoreless until the 56th minute, when Andrei Altybarmakyan finished a counterattack to secure the win. Mishurov stopped every shot he faced for his first shutout of the season. The visitors also blocked 29 shots and spent just 7 minutes 45 seconds on the attack, compared with 18 minutes 33 seconds for Lokomotiv. The result will boost their confidence, though repeating that approach game after game will be difficult.

⭐️ Editor’s prediction
HC Lada Togliatti’s wins over Avangard and Lokomotiv make the hosts’ chances harder to assess. But Salavat Yulaev UFA are still favourites based on their head-to-head record: they have beaten the Togliatti side in regulation in nine of their last 10 home meetings. The visitors have picked up just 13 points in 22 games, and their recent win over Lokomotiv required 36 saves from Andrei Mishurov. Salavat Yulaev UFA are in a slump, but a home game against one of the Western Conference’s strugglers gives them a chance to end their losing streak. My pick: Salavat Yulaev UFA to win in regulation (P1).
