FC Ufa vs Torpedo Moskva Prediction

FC Ufa host Torpedo Moskva on 27 September 2026 at 12:30 in the First League. Ufa sit in the upper half of the table after a difficult season last year fighting relegation, but they arrive without a win in their last three matches. Torpedo have dropped out of the top four after consecutive draws at home—a 1–2 loss to Nizhny Novgorod and a 1–1 stalemate with Veles—and carry momentum problems into this fixture. The gap between them is three points, but the home advantage shifts the calculation sharply in Ufa's favour.

Form and H2H

Ufa are unbeaten at the Neftyanik this season with three wins and three draws. They have conceded in four of their last four home matches but also scored in all of them, showing balance across their shape. Coach Omari Tetradze's side has shipped 13 goals in 16 matches and sits third from bottom in expected goals (11.53) despite 16 shots on target, suggesting their finishing lags their chance creation. A 1–2 defeat to Chelyabinsk last time out saw them outshoot their opponent 2.43 to 1.30 in xG. Ufa are without centre-backs Yusupov and Troyanов to injury, though Denis Kutin has completed his suspension and is available to start.

Torpedo have won four of their last five away matches, including 1–0 at Ural, but they arrive in poor spirits after two home stumbles. Alexander Storozhuk's side has managed only one goal in matches against direct table rivals and remains dangerous on set pieces and transitions. They rank second in shots on target with 21 alongside Sochi. Only Kamara is sidelined through injury. Ufa have not lost to Torpedo in three consecutive meetings.

Best Bet

Ufa not to lose. Tetradze builds his team on defensive structure, and the home record at the Neftyanik—unbeaten across seven matches—is the decisive edge. Torpedo's recent form has dipped sharply, and they will struggle to break down a side that has conceded only twice at home all season. The fixture history favours the hosts. This is a pick for draw or Ufa win.
