CSKA vs Torpedo Prediction 6 November 2025
🔊 CSKA Moscow will host Torpedo Nizhny Novgorod on their home ice in the capital. The hosts have fallen back into old habits, suffering one setback after another. The visitors, on the other hand, have confidently returned to winning ways, not only maintaining their position among the conference leaders but also significantly strengthening their role as favorites in the West. We're in for a highly intriguing matchup.
Head-to-Head
The rivals have already faced off in the current regular season. In mid-October, Torpedo suffered a narrow 1-0 defeat at home. The only goal was scored by CSKA forward Dmitry Buchelnikov, who remains fit and ready to trouble the opponents once more. However, the dynamics of this matchup appear completely different now.
Head-to-head statistics CSKA - Torpedo
CSKA Moscow Team Overview
Igor Nikitin's squad, after a commendable stretch in the latter half of October with four consecutive victories, have once again started dropping points. The team has suffered three straight defeats with a combined score of 4:8. Under these circumstances, it's almost miraculous that they have managed to hold onto the eighth spot in the West, but slipping further down the standings seems only a matter of time. CSKA no longer exudes the aura of a formidable force. Opponents of nearly any caliber can challenge the Moscow club.

Torpedo N. Novgorod Team Overview
The club from Nizhny Novgorod has finally overcome their issues and returned to a path of numerous successes. The team boasts six victories in their last seven matches, securing a well-deserved second place in the West. Moreover, they've managed to score 71 goals, the best tally in the conference, which is simply astonishing. Yes, their defensive struggles are apparent (with 65 goals conceded), but this doesn't take away from the achievements of the team and the coaching staff led by Mikhail Isakov.

🏒 Probable Lineups
CSKA: Gamzin - Nesterov, Provolnev - Kovalenko, Zernov, Buchelnikov
Torpedo: Kostin - Zhuravlev, Konyushkov - Firstov, Letunov, Prince
🏒 Goalkeepers
CSKA's goaltender Dmitry Gamzin has been seeing more ice time recently, but with Alexander Samonov joining the Moscow side from Ufa, the local talent's future seems uncertain. Nevertheless, he currently boasts a save percentage of 91.9% and aims to maintain his presence at the senior level.
Torpedo's goalie Denis Kostin remains one of the league's top performers in his position. The former Sibir player averages a save percentage of 93.2% and contributes significantly to the team's success. It's worth noting that his teammates actively support him by blocking numerous shots.
Editor's Prediction
CSKA in their current form doesn't quite look like the favorite in this upcoming clash. This renowned team, in its present state, is capable of anything unpredictable, especially facing one of the Western Conference leaders. However, there's a consistent trend worth noting: in nine consecutive head-to-head games in Moscow, at least five goals have been scored each time. Considering the visitors' scoring prowess and the lineup of the hosts, reaching this mark seems achievable once again. Our bet is on over 4.5 goals.No comments
