Torpedo vs Lada Prediction 13 November 2026
🔊 Torpedo N. Novgorod return to Nizhny Novgorod after a heavy defeat to CSKA. They conceded four goals in the first period in Moscow and now begin a long run of home games. Their first opponents are HC Lada Togliatti, who have not won here in four straight games. However, Lada have surprised favourites more than once this season. Their wins over Lokomotiv are proof enough. Their most recent trip to Sochi also ended with two points. Can the visitors spring another surprise, or will Torpedo repeat their emphatic win from September?
Seven goals in Tolyatti
📊 In September, HC Lada Togliatti made a promising start to their home game against Torpedo N. Novgorod. Riley Savchuk opened the scoring in the sixth minute, but things then went badly wrong for the hosts. Torpedo scored four unanswered goals in the second period and added three more in the third. Daniil Seroukh was particularly impressive, completing a hat-trick. Savchuk scored twice as well, but his goals made little difference. Torpedo left Togliatti with a convincing 7-2 win.
Head-to-head statistics Torpedo - Lada
Nine minutes that ruined everything
Recent games have raised doubts about Torpedo N. Novgorod’s defensive reliability. Before the game against CSKA, Torpedo had conceded eight goals in two games, despite ranking among the KHL’s top five teams for average expected goals against (2.29 xGA). Their power play is struggling too. They have scored with the man advantage just once in their previous five games, while conceding three times on the penalty kill. Pavel Kraskovsky scored against both Dynamo Moscow and Ak Bars, but his goal in Kazan was not enough. Vorobyov and Svishchev will miss the game through injury.
Against CSKA, things went wrong as early as the fourth minute. CSKA opened the scoring on a counterattack and had added three more goals by the thirteenth minute. Alexei Isakov tried to lift his team with a timeout, then replaced Denis Kostin with Dmitry Shugaev. Torpedo N. Novgorod began attacking more often, but could not turn things around. CSKA scored on the power play in the second period, and it was not until the final minute that Sergei Goncharuk got Torpedo on the scoreboard. The 1:5 defeat was a painful end to their road trip.

Wins are hard to come by
HC Lada Togliatti have been highly inconsistent in November. They beat reigning champions Lokomotiv twice without conceding a goal, but between those wins they allowed five unanswered goals against Salavat Yulaev. A 4-3 loss to Severstal followed, although their attack at least ended a run of five games with two or fewer goals scored. The defence continues to let them down, and they have failed to win on their last four visits to Nizhny Novgorod. Volkov, Karpov and Somerby are on the injury list, while Josephs remains out of the lineup.
In Sochi, "the Togliatti side" nearly let a win slip away when it already seemed within reach. Ben King opened the scoring after a quick counterattack, before Vyacheslav Osnovin and Nikita Setdikov also scored. HC Lada Togliatti led 3-1 by the end of the second period but allowed the hosts to equalise in the third. The game went to overtime, where Yuri Pautov scored the winner to give the visitors a 4-3 victory. Setdikov’s three points and the returns of Podskrebalin, Mikhailov, King and Kugryshev to the lineup are also worth noting.

Prediction for the 1st period
First-Period Prediction
More than 1.5 goals were scored in the first period in six consecutive Torpedo N. Novgorod games. In their recent home games, Torpedo N. Novgorod scored an average of 1.5 goals in that period, while HC Lada Togliatti averaged 0.5 in their recent away games. At the same time, the first-period total was under 2.5 goals in 9 of Torpedo N. Novgorod’s last 10 home games: exactly two goals would be enough for the selected bet. We pick First-Period Total Goals Over 1.5 at odds of 2.03.
Safer Bet
Reliable Bet
In 13 of Torpedo N. Novgorod’s last 15 home games, the two teams scored fewer than 6.5 goals combined. This season, Torpedo N.

⭐️ Editor's Pick
Torpedo N. Novgorod will surely want to make amends in front of their home fans after conceding five against CSKA. But their defensive problems have not gone away: they have allowed 13 goals in their last three games. HC Lada Togliatti have not been reliable defensively either. Even in their win over Sochi, they let their opponents come back from 1:3. At the same time, the visitors’ attack has finally started producing results, scoring three goals apiece against Severstal and Sochi in regulation. September’s game between the teams produced nine goals, while at least five goals were scored in four of Torpedo’s last six games. My pick is Over 4.5 Goals.
Will this prediction come true?
