β Editor's Pick
In the 2026/2027 season, Spartak Kostroma are unbeaten in the league, which sets them apart from their rivals. In the current campaign, only table leaders Nizhny Novgorod have also managed to avoid defeat. Their opponents in this match, Moscow's Torpedo, have returned to the top five after two losses, but it is hard to say whether the team will continue to climb the standings. Right now the visitors look more composed and are playing more purposeful football. The main bet for this match could be Spartak Kostroma not to lose. The visitors are not guaranteed to take all three points from Khimki, but they could well pick up something. Predicted score - 1:1.
