Torpedo vs Spartak Moscow Prediction 20 November 2025
🔊 Torpedo will host Spartak Moscow on their home ice in Nizhny Novgorod. The hosts remain among the leaders in the West, but have recently lost momentum and started dropping points. The visitors, on the other hand, struggle to find consistency, alternating between strong performances and outright failures. As a result, they are perilously close to slipping out of the playoff spots.
Head-to-Head
The rivals have already faced off this season. In mid-September, Torpedo narrowly clinched a 4-3 victory in Moscow, only managing to secure the win in overtime. The match was fiercely contested. Forward Kirill Voronin scored the decisive goal back then. He remains in the lineup but has struggled to find his form lately, going five consecutive games without registering a point.
Head-to-head statistics Torpedo - Spartak Moscow
Torpedo N. Novgorod Team Overview
Alexey Isakov's squad have stopped surprising with their numerous successes. They have secured seven wins in their last nine matches. However, context is key here. The two losses have come in recent days, indicating a slight dip in form for the team. It's not a full-blown crisis, though. It's worth noting that despite their commendable scoring rate (83 goals), they concede quite a bit-already 78 goals. This is significantly more than their competitors in the race for the top spot in the West. This could potentially become an issue moving forward.

🏒 Projected Lineups
Torpedo: Kostin - Konyushkov, Zhuravlev - Prince, Letunov, Firstov
Spartak: Zagidulin - Mironov, Kinn - Todd, Maltsev, Ruzicka
🥅 Goalies
Torpedo's goaltender Denis Kostin remains one of the top performers in his position across the league. The former Sibir player boasts an impressive 93.2% save percentage and has often been the savior for his team. His reliability and composure are unquestionable.
Spartak's netminder Artem Zagidulin has shown flashes of strong performances but overall is having a rather underwhelming season. The former Calgary player holds an average save percentage of 88.8%, which falls short of being considered acceptable.
Editor's Prediction
The hosts are certainly determined to break their losing streak and secure a victory on home ice. However, it's challenging to confidently predict what Alexei Zhamnov's squad will deliver. In this context, focusing on scoring might be more insightful. Notably, at least five goals were scored in eight of the last nine head-to-head encounters. A similar trend is evident in 14 of Spartak's last 15 away games. We believe both teams in Nizhny Novgorod are capable of exceeding that mark. Our bet is on a total over 5 goals.No comments
