Avtomobilist vs Torpedo Prediction 29 October 2026
π Avtomobilist Yekaterinburg are riding a three-game winning streak, conceding just three goals in that span. Up next, Torpedo N. Novgorod travel to Yekaterinburg-last season, they managed to beat the Urals side twice. Torpedo N. Novgorod have been picking up wins as well, though their recent games have been far from straightforward. In Saint Petersburg, Alexei Isakovβs team nearly squandered a two-goal lead but snatched victory just seconds before the final buzzer. Can they replicate that success against an opponent whose defense has been nearly flawless of late?
Two games, two different storylines
π Last season, Torpedo N. Novgorod came out on top in both head-to-head clashes against Avtomobilist Yekaterinburg. In Nizhny Novgorod, the teams put on an offensive show, combining for 11 goals in a thrilling shootout. But in Yekaterinburg, the visitors secured a shutout victory. The aggregate score favored the team from Nizhny Novgorod by 9-4, as Torpedo N. Novgorod collected all four points from these encounters.
Head-to-head statistics Avtomobilist - Torpedo
The defense stands firm
Three straight wins over CSKA, SKA, and Barys have demonstrated that Avtomobilist Yekaterinburg know how to handle opponents of all calibers. The most notable improvement has come on defense: during this run, Avtomobilist have not allowed more than one goal in a game and have killed off all five penalties they faced. Even the injury to Vladimir Galkin hasnβt derailed their momentum. Yevgeni Alikin has stepped up confidently as the starting goaltender, despite Slapyshev and Shashkov also remaining sidelined.
Against Barys, the hosts seized the initiative early and were already up 3-0 by the 22nd minute. Maksim Tarasov, Daniel Sprong, and Roman Gorbunov-who scored on the power play-all found the net. Barys responded by ramping up the pressure and finished with 39 shots on target, but Alikin turned aside 38 of them. In the third period, Jordan Gross sealed the result at 4-1. It was a convincing win for Avtomobilist Yekaterinburg, though their defense was certainly kept busy throughout.

A dramatic finish in the dying seconds
Torpedo N. Novgorod have learned how to grind out results even when their offense isnβt firing on all cylinders. They edged past Ak Bars in a shootout and overcame Dinamo Minsk in overtime, conceding just a single goal in regulation in both games. Still, the attack has struggled-over the last seven matches, Torpedo have scored more than two goals only once. The team has also run into trouble in second periods: before their trip to Saint Petersburg, four of their last six goals conceded had come in that middle frame.
Against SKA, Torpedo nearly paid the price for late mistakes. After two periods, Torpedo were up 3-1 thanks to goals from Egor Vinogradov, Daniil Seroukhov, and Viktor Fyodorov. But the hosts twice capitalized on having an extra skater, pulling level late on. Just as the game seemed destined for overtime, Vinogradov latched onto a long pass ahead of both the SKA defender and goaltender, netting the game-winner with just 14 seconds left on the clock (4-3).

Prediction for the 1st period
Games between Avtomobilist Yekaterinburg and Torpedo N. Novgorod in Yekaterinburg rarely open with a flurry of goals. In their last five head-to-head meetings on Ural ice, the first period has finished with under 1.5 goals. This same outcome has hit in seven of Avtomobilist Yekaterinburgβs previous eight games. The bet: Under 1.5 goals in the first period at 1.67.
Total Goals Prediction
Torpedo N. Novgorod have failed to score more than two goals in each of their last five head-to-head games in Yekaterinburg. This trend extends to their recent outings as well, with Torpedo N. Novgorod going under 2.5 individual goals in six of their last seven matches. The bet: Torpedo N. Novgorod individual total under 2.5 goals at 1.6.
βοΈ Editorial Prediction
Avtomobilist Yekaterinburg come into this clash riding a three-game winning streak, having conceded just three goals over that span. Torpedo N. Novgorod, meanwhile, have struggled to find the net, scoring two goals or fewer in six of their last seven outings. The visitors have also had a tough time in Yekaterinburg, failing to surpass 2.5 goals in each of their last five head-to-head meetings there. Given Avtomobilistβs solid goaltending from Alikin and Torpedoβs current scoring woes, my pick is Torpedo N. Novgorod under 2.5 goals (individual total).
