CSKA vs Torpedo Prediction 11 November 2026
🔊 The battle for the top spots in the Western Conference continues, and the upcoming game in Moscow could affect the standings for several teams. CSKA Moscow are chasing Lokomotiv, while Torpedo N. Novgorod are trying to keep pace with their rivals. CSKA recently thrashed Metallurg and comfortably beat Sibir, while Torpedo travel to the capital after a disappointing defeat in Kazan. The Moscow side beat Torpedo twice in September, but the second win was much harder to secure. Can the visitors finally end that run?
CSKA retain the advantage
📊 CSKA Moscow have beaten Torpedo N. Novgorod twice this season. The first game ended in a shutout win for the Moscow side (3-0), while Torpedo N. Novgorod put up much stronger resistance in the second. Daniil Seroukha scored twice, but goals from Nikolai Kovalenko, Derek Barach and Yegor Zamula gave CSKA Moscow a 3-2 win. The historical record also favours the capital club: 40 wins to Torpedo N. Novgorod’s 17. However, head-to-head games rarely produce many goals.

The wins keep coming
After October defeats to Spartak and Avtomobilist, CSKA Moscow quickly returned to winning ways. Igor Nikitin’s team won four games in a row before losing to Avangard only in overtime. The game against Metallurg was particularly impressive, ending in a 7-3 rout of the Eastern Conference leaders. CSKA Moscow converted 20% of their shots, showing how dangerous they can be when they make the most of their chances. Still, that high-scoring game stands out from their recent results: three of the previous four games had gone Under 5.5 Goals.
CSKA Moscow did not make the best start against Sibir. The visitors attacked more often, but Alexander Samonov bailed his team out several times. Dmitry Buchelnikov then opened the scoring with a well-placed shot from the right flank. He scored his second in the second period, and Maxim Sorkin converted on the power play in the final 20 minutes. The Novosibirsk side managed just one goal in reply before Nikolai Kovalenko scored into an empty net. The 4-1 win was comfortable on the scoreboard, although CSKA Moscow took only 25 shots. Nikita Nesterov recorded an assist to reach his 300th KHL point.

Playing catch-up in Kazan
Torpedo N. Novgorod remain in the Western Conference’s top three with 31 points from 23 games. Alexei Isakov’s team rarely endure prolonged slumps: they have lost two games in a row only once all season. They have recorded three positive results in their last five games and, over a longer stretch, have failed to pick up a point in just one of seven. However, their recent trip to Kazan showed that even with such resilience, early mistakes can prove costly. The injured Vorobyov and Svishchyov will miss the upcoming game.
Against Ak Bars, Torpedo N. Novgorod were chasing the game by the ninth minute. Igor Geraskin quickly reduced the deficit, but the hosts scored again before the break. Torpedo N. Novgorod gradually took the initiative in the second period, but losing the puck in the offensive zone led to a fourth goal against. Even at 1:5, they kept attacking: several shots hit the frame of the goal, and Pavel Kraskovsky cut the deficit with two minutes left before the final siren. The final score was 2:5. According to Isakov, the poor start left Torpedo N. Novgorod chasing their opponents throughout the game.

First-Period Prediction
Fewer than 1.5 goals were scored in the first period in 7 of CSKA Moscow's last 8 games. In their recent games, the hosts have averaged 0.5 goals in the first period, while Torpedo N. Novgorod have averaged 0.4 in their recent away games. We pick Under 1.5 First-Period Goals at odds of 1.59.
Result Prediction
Torpedo N. Novgorod have covered the (+1.5) handicap in 12 of their last 13 KHL games. CSKA Moscow have won five straight home games, but a one-goal win for the hosts would not prevent this bet from winning. We pick Torpedo N. Novgorod (+1.5) handicap for the full game at odds of 1.71.

CSKA Moscow have scored more than 2.5 goals in eight of their last nine home games against Torpedo N. Novgorod.

⭐️ Editor's Pick
Torpedo N. Novgorod conceded five goals in Kazan, while CSKA Moscow recently scored seven against Metallurg. However, the head-to-head statistics look more telling for the upcoming game. Under 5.5 goals has landed in five of their last six meetings, including both games in September this season. CSKA Moscow have rarely gone over that mark either: no more than five goals were scored in three of their previous four games. Torpedo N. Novgorod have recorded the same outcome in four of their last seven games. In my view, the contest between direct rivals and the usual pattern of their head-to-head games point to a more restrained style of hockey. My pick is Under 5.5 Goals.
