Amur Khabarovsk vs Severstal Cherepovec Prediction 21 September 2026
🔊 Amur celebrated their return home with a commanding shutout win over Dynamo Moscow and will now look to keep their positive run going against Severstal. The Cherepovets side, meanwhile, are in a very different spot-they have failed to score in three straight games, with their most recent outing in Vladivostok ending in yet another defeat. Last season, Severstal claimed victory in both head-to-head clashes. Now, Khabarovsk have a chance to beat this opponent for the first time since 2023.
Severstal claimed victory in both meetings last season.
📊 Last season, Cherepovets came out on top in both encounters with Amur. The clash in Cherepovets was particularly high-scoring, as Severstal fired 47 shots on target and cruised to a commanding 6-2 victory. The contest in Khabarovsk proved much tighter. Regulation wasn't enough to separate the sides, and Severstal only secured the extra point after a shootout, edging Amur 3-2.
Head-to-head statistics Amur Khabarovsk - Severstal Cherepovec
Dorozhko holds the line defensively
Amur have now gone four consecutive games without conceding more than two goals, despite their opponents posting an average xGA of 2.91. Even against Metallurg, the Khabarovsk side allowed just a single goal in regulation. Their first home game of the season was particularly impressive, with Maksim Dorozhko turning aside all 32 shots from Dynamo Moscow as Amur recorded their first shutout of the campaign.
The 4-0 win marked the club’s 400th KHL victory. Artem Shvarev netted a brace, and three of Amur’s four goals came on the power play. In total, they converted three of their four man-advantage opportunities while also killing off every penalty they faced. Galenyuk, Krutov, Rykov, and Chekhovich are sidelined through injury, and Dergachyov remains a doubt for the match.

Three consecutive goalless matches
Severstal’s biggest issue right now is plain to see on the scoreboard. The team failed to score against Spartak, Dynamo Moscow, and Admiral, managing just four goals throughout September. Even the power play isn’t working-over their last three games, Cherepovets had ten opportunities with the man advantage but couldn’t convert a single one. It’s not always about a lack of shots, either.
In Vladivostok, Severstal once again spent more time on the attack and outshot Admiral on goal (26-25), yet still came up short in a 2-0 loss. The second goal was conceded with the goalie pulled. Not even the arrival of Nikita Popugaev has helped end their prolonged scoring drought. Burenov, Kazulaev, and Liska are sidelined with injuries, while Churkin remains questionable.

⭐️ Editor’s Prediction
Severstal have failed to score in three consecutive games and now face a side that have conceded no more than two goals in each of their last four outings. Maxim Dorozhko has been a key figure in that defensive run, stopping 94% of shots and recording a shutout against Dynamo Moscow.
Severstal’s away games also point toward a low-scoring affair. The under 5.5 goals market has landed in six of Severstal’s last seven road fixtures. Given the visitors’ offensive struggles and Amur’s recent defensive solidity, it’s hard to see this one turning into a goal fest. My pick: under 5.5 total goals.
