Leningradets
- Leningradets are in mixed form coming into the game, with two wins, one draw and two defeats in their last five.
- Leningradets are a lot more cautious, preferring to sit deep, defend in numbers and hurt teams on the counter or from set pieces when they can.
- Their 4-4-2 formation mirrors that of Torpedo, but the way in which they interpret that shape is completely different.
Torpedo Moskva
- Aleksandr Storozhuk took over at Torpedo Moskva on 27 May 2026 and has made them more of a possession team, playing in a structured 4-4-2.
- Torpedo Moskva have drawn their last two games, while their recent away run includes two wins and a draw.
- Torpedo are having a slightly better season than Leningradets, sitting 6th with 21 points from 12 games compared to Leningradets' 12th placed record of 13 points from 12.
- Torpedo's road record is very good in FNL 2026/2027 with four wins, one draw and just one loss from six away games played, scoring 1.83 goals per game and conceding only 0.33 on average.
- Leningradets' most recent three results were a 2-2 home draw with Tekstilshchik, a 6-0 away loss to Nizhny Novgorod, and a 1-0 away win over Volga Ulyanovsk, while Torpedo Moskva have won two, drawn two and lost one in their most recent five.
Head-to-Head
- Leningradets failed to beat the Black and Whites in their most recent home meeting - a 3-2 away win in FNL 2023/2024.
- This matchup is a classic 'shape mirror', with one team favouring possession, building up from the back, pressing and penetrating through the middle while the other prefers to sit in, defend and hit on the break.
