Torpedo Nizhny Novgorod are predicted to pull away against HC Sochi in their upcoming KHL clash. With a potent offense and solid recent results, Torpedo are tipped to score first and comfortably cover the -1.5 puck line. Sochi's struggles on both ends—just six goals in six games and heavy losses on the road—make Torpedo's controlled performance likely to lead to a low-scoring game, with under 5.5 total goals recommended for punters.

Torpedo Nizhny Novgorod vs HC Sochi KHL 2026-27 Predictions & Betting Tips - Torpedo to Pull Away


Torpedo Nizhny Novgorod are backed to score first and cover the -1.5 puck line, with Under 5.5 goals completing a card built around the hosts controlling a low-scoring Sochi attack.

Torpedo strengthened their 5-2 record by dismantling Avangard 5-1 at the Volga Arena. Daniil Seroukh opened the scoring with his seventh goal of the season, extending his scoring streak to four matches.

Sochi have scored only six goals across six games and arrive with a 1-5 record. They have conceded first in five matches, while four of their five defeats have come by at least three goals.

The total requires Torpedo to remain controlled after taking the lead. Under 5.5 has landed in eight of the teams’ 13 combined games, including two of Torpedo’s three home fixtures.


  • Torpedo have scored 22 goals and conceded 14 across seven matches.
  • Sochi have lost five of six games, scoring six goals and conceding 21.
  • Sochi have conceded the opening goal in five of their six matches.
  • Under 5.5 has landed in four of seven Torpedo games and four of six Sochi games.
  • Both of Sochi’s away games ended in defeats by at least three goals.

Torpedo Nizhny Novgorod Form


Torpedo responded to a 3-2 defeat against CSKA by beating Avangard 5-1. They controlled the contest for long periods and scored four unanswered goals after Avangard briefly equalised early in the second period.

Seroukh redirected Bogdan Konyushkov’s shot to open the scoring on the power play. Egor Vinogradov and Sergei Goncharuk struck during the second period before Konyushkov converted another power play in the third. Pavel Kraskovsky completed the scoring into an empty net.

Denis Kostin allowed only one goal as Torpedo protected their advantage. The hosts have now won two of their three games at the Volga Arena, scoring 10 goals and conceding six across those fixtures.

HC Sochi Form


Sochi followed their first victory of the season against Ak Bars with a 5-1 home defeat against Sibir. They conceded twice during the first period and never recovered after falling three goals behind early in the second.

Denis Vengryzhanovsky scored Sochi’s only goal and leads the team with four this season. However, the rest of the lineup has struggled to provide enough support, with Sochi being shut out twice and held to one goal in three other matches.

Pyotr Andreyanov was replaced by Ivan Bocharov after conceding four against Sibir. Sochi’s penalty kill was also breached twice, while their two away games have ended in 5-1 and 4-1 defeats.
