Neftjanik vs CSK VVS Prediction 21 October 2026
🔊 Neftyanik head into this home fixture as one of the league’s frontrunners, while CSK VVS are still struggling near the bottom of the table. However, Almetyevsk’s side would be wise not to underestimate their visitors from Samara. Back in August, these teams met during preseason, with CSK VVS pulling off a surprise shootout win (5-4). Now, Neftyanik have a chance to set the record straight. Still, even during their rough patches, Samara rarely allow Neftyanik to claim a convincing victory.

Prediction for the 1st period
CSK VVS's away fixtures rarely see a flurry of early goals. In 13 of their last 14 road games, the Samara side and their opponents have combined for no more than one goal in the opening twenty minutes. Even with a clear gap in quality between the teams, there’s little reason to expect a high-scoring start here. The pick: Under 1.5 goals in the first period at 1.66.
Total Goals Prediction
CSK VVS have an intriguing track record against Neftyanik. In six of their last seven head-to-head encounters, the Samara side have managed to score at least two goals. While the team are currently going through a tough spell, their previous meetings suggest they consistently find ways to create chances in front of Almetyevsk’s net. The bet - CSK VVS individual total over 1.5 goals at 1.82.
⭐️ Editorial Prediction
Neftyanik are sitting much higher in the standings, but head-to-head clashes with CSK VVS rarely reflect that gap on the scoreboard. In six of their last seven meetings in Almetyevsk, the Samara side have managed to cover the +2.5 handicap. Even their preseason friendly in August showed CSK VVS can push their more successful rivals, as the visitors edged out a shootout win after a 4-4 draw in regulation. Of course, current form points to Neftyanik, but for this bet, CSK VVS don’t need to pull off an upset-they just need to avoid a defeat by three or more goals. My pick is CSK VVS with a +2.5 handicap.
