Severstal Cherepovec vs HC Traktor Chelyabinsk Prediction 13 November 2026
🔊 HC Traktor Chelyabinsk have yet to lose in regulation in November, but now they face a trip to Cherepovec, where they have not managed to win for a long time. Severstal Cherepovec have won their last two home games against HC Traktor Chelyabinsk and are also doing well in attack at the moment. Defence is another matter. Even Lada managed to score three goals against them. The visitors have similar problems: they score plenty, but often allow opponents back into games in the third period. It looks like this game will be anything but dull.
The hosts won at home
📊 Last season, the teams traded wins. Severstal Cherepovec won first, at home in Cherepovec (3:2), with Nikolai Chebykin scoring twice. In February, HC Traktor Chelyabinsk got their revenge on home ice. Severstal conceded five goals and replied only through goals from Alexander Skorenov and Jani Kaldis. Vasily Glotov was the standout player, scoring twice and adding an assist. The game ended 5:2 in HC Traktor Chelyabinsk’s favour. Across the two games, the Chelyabinsk side scored more goals.
Head-to-head statistics Severstal Cherepovec - HC Traktor Chelyabinsk
Four scored, three conceded
Severstal have scored four goals in each of their last two games, beating Sochi and Lada. The Cherepovec side have been particularly effective in the second period, scoring five times across those two games. But their attacking play has come at the cost of mistakes in their own end. Andrey Kozyrev’s team have allowed an average of three goals over their last four games, while their opponents’ expected goals figure (2.85 xGA) is among the four worst in the Western Conference. Six players are also on the injury list: Burenov, Graf, Davydov, Pyanov, Remezovsky and Chaly.
Against Lada, everything started perfectly. Ivan Podshivalov opened the scoring just ten seconds in, but the Togliatti side quickly replied with a power-play goal. Severstal took the lead twice in the second period and let their opponents equalise both times. They conceded one of those goals while on the power play. Adam Liška, who scored twice, came to the rescue: his second goal, in the 48th minute, gave the hosts a 4:3 win. Interestingly, Severstal were even outshot by Lada in shots on goal, 22:23.

Five goals have become the norm again
HC Traktor Chelyabinsk have not lost in regulation this November. Scott Gordon’s team have dropped just one point in their last four home games, scoring five goals against both Ak Bars and the Shanghai Dragons. Their finishes have not been quite as convincing, though. Five of the eight goals they have allowed in their previous four games came in the third period. Avtomobilist even came back from 2-0 down before winning in a shootout. The Chelyabinsk side must now test this run on the road, where they have not won for almost a month. Kravtsov is out injured, while Gorbunov, Rykov and Nikolaev are doubtful.
Against the Dragons, HC Traktor Chelyabinsk were already 4-0 up midway through the second period. Rolgizer and Nizameev scored first, then Alexander Shen scored shorthanded before Nikita Soshnikov extended the lead. The game seemed settled. But the visitors beat Haukeland twice in the third period to cut the deficit. Only Boris Katchouk’s empty-net goal finally put the result beyond doubt (5-2). HC Traktor Chelyabinsk spent less time on the attack but won the shots-on-goal count 30-24.

⭐️ Editor's Pick
Severstal Cherepovec have won their last two games, but conceding three goals against Lada gives cause for concern. The team from Togliatti score just 1.6 goals on average, yet they managed to score three times against the hosts in Cherepovets. Not long ago, Severstal Cherepovec also conceded five against Spartak. HC Traktor Chelyabinsk's attack, meanwhile, is performing very differently from what their away results suggest. The Chelyabinsk side scored five goals apiece against Ak Bars and the Shanghai Dragons, with four of their goals in the latter game coming before the halfway point. Given Severstal Cherepovec's defensive problems, the visitors have a good chance of scoring at least three times. My pick is HC Traktor Chelyabinsk Team Total Over 2 Goals.
