ടോർപിഡോ മോസ്ക്വ vs റോട്ടർ വോൾഗോഗ്രാഡ്

Torpedo Moscow are fifth in the First League with 24 points from 13 games. On 23 October they host Rotor Volgograd, who are eighth on 18. Six points separate them, so a home win would widen the gap further. Torpedo arrive unbeaten in three league games. They won 3-1 at Leningradets on 10 October after a goalless draw at Ufa and a 1-1 with Velez. Across their last ten matches they have won six, scored 20 and conceded eight. They travel to Enisey on 17 October first. Rotor drew 2-2 at home to Volga Ulyanovsk on the same day. Artyom Simonyan pulled them level after the break and Abu-Said Eldarushev headed them in front on 70 minutes, before Volga equalised from a scramble. Sochi visit Volgograd on 16 October. Our prediction: 2-1
