Fakel — Torpedo Moscow : Match Preview and Prediction for November 03,2025

Fakel’s Strong Home Performance

After a defeat to Arsenal in the national cup, even though a semi-reserve squad was fielded, it’s time for rehabilitation in front of their home crowd. Football is well-attended in Voronezh, so the “fiery ones” are undoubtedly the clear favorites in this encounter. Beyond Torpedo itself, Fakel’s home results are particularly noteworthy. Yes, Fakel lost two consecutive matches under Oleg Vasilenko, but they managed to return to winning ways after Shalimov’s departure, securing four impressive victories. Incidentally, even with their previous coach, Fakel looked strong on their home turf. Currently, the “blue-and-whites” boast six wins in seven home games, conceding only a single goal.

Torpedo Moscow’s Struggles Under New Leadership

In short, Oleg Kononov’s return has not yet yielded significant results. While the visitors haven’t lost in four consecutive games, two of those were cup matches. They secured a difficult victory against outsider Chayka, conceding two goals in the process. It seems the appointment of the new-old coach might be born out of desperation. Furthermore, Torpedo’s away form is particularly concerning. The club struggled to score goals until recently, managing only four goals in eight away rounds, with just one victory. In reality, instead of competing in the Russian Premier League, Muscovites will likely be fighting to maintain their spot in the First League, and they do not appear to be favorites in this upcoming fixture.
