Dynamo vs Lokomotiv Yaroslavl Prediction 26 November 2025
🔊 Dynamo Moscow will host Lokomotiv Yaroslavl on their home ice in the capital. Both clubs are navigating challenging times this season. The hosts have recently changed their head coach and are still adapting to the new tactics. Meanwhile, the visitors are struggling to maintain their top spot in the West and have faced several setbacks recently.
Head-to-Head
The rivals have already clashed this season. In the third week of October, on this very pitch, Lokomotiv narrowly secured a 3-2 victory. A decisive contribution came from the current visitors' forward, Alexander Volkov, who managed to net a brace. Recently, the forward has returned to the ice after an injury and is ready to make his mark once again.
Head-to-head statistics Dynamo - Lokomotiv Yaroslavl
Dynamo Moscow Team Overview
The "White-Blues" are struggling this November. The appointment of Vyacheslav Kozlov as head coach hasn't yet led to a significant turnaround. Over their last seven games, the club has managed just two victories, which has understandably left them in fifth place in the Western Conference. Dynamo are slipping down the standings and risk soon finding themselves embroiled in a battle for a top-8 conference spot. However, the team does have the internal resources to change their fortunes. What they lack is consistent quality play across the entire rink.

Lokomotiv Yaroslavl Team Overview
The reigning Gagarin Cup holders have encountered noticeable challenges in the latter half of November. Over their last seven games, the club has managed only three victories, yet they maintain their position at the top of the Western standings. The champions' decline is evident statistically as well. Lokomotiv are no longer leading the conference in goals scored (98), and their defensive play is also less than perfect, having conceded 69 goals. Nonetheless, it's not accurate to label the visitors' current situation as a full-blown crisis-they have a proven ability to address their shortcomings.
Match Results: Lokomotiv Yaroslavl
🏒 Projected Lineups
Dynamo: Podyapolsky - Ozhiganov, Pylenkov - Gusev, Will, Sikura
Lokomotiv: Isaev - Yelesin, Bereglazov - Surin, Ivanov, Radulov
🥅 Goalkeepers
Dynamo's goaltender Vladislav Podyapolsky remains one of the most consistent players in his position in the league. The former Lada player boasts an average save percentage of 92.4% and has recorded two shutouts. The "White-Blues" clearly don't have issues at the back.
Lokomotiv's goalie Daniil Isaev has recently seen a dip in form. The homegrown talent currently saves an average of 91.6% of shots, but this figure is gradually declining. This could pose a problem in the latter half of the regular season.
Editor's Prediction
Both teams have recently struggled to secure satisfactory results. The hosts are still adapting to the tactical ideas of their new coach, while the visitors are experiencing a minor slump, more emotional than anything else. Despite this, matches involving the "white and blues" are characterized by solid scoring performances. In fact, in six of the last seven head-to-head encounters in Moscow, at least five goals were scored. A similar trend is evident in eight consecutive games for the hosts. We believe the champions are fully capable of maintaining these trends. Our bet is on total over 4.5 goals.No comments
