Torpedo Nizhny Novgorod is favored to win this matchup. The hosts have secured 8 wins in their last 9 matches and are just one step away from the top spot in the Western Conference, demonstrating impressive momentum and consistency. Avangard Omsk, while a competitive team, does not have the same recent form advantage that Torpedo possesses.

The match starts at 2:00 PM UTC on Sunday, November 16, 2025. This corresponds to 3:00 PM Moscow Standard Time (MSK), which is the local timezone for both Nizhny Novgorod and Omsk.

The game will be played at Torpedo's home venue in Nizhny Novgorod. Torpedo maintains a strong home record and will have the advantage of playing on their home ice, where they have demonstrated their ability to compete against any opponent.

Torpedo Nizhny Novgorod is predicted to win based on their exceptional recent form with 8 victories in their last 9 games. However, bettors should note that Torpedo has conceded 67 goals this season, the worst defensive record among Western Conference leaders, which could present scoring opportunities for Avangard. The prediction suggests focusing on the over 5.5 goals market given both teams' recent scoring trends.
