Match Prediction
Expected score: Lokomotiv Yaroslavl 2-1 Shanghai
Lokomotiv YaroslavlDrawShanghai
Lokomotiv Yaroslavl host Shanghai in the KHL on 14 November 2026, a meeting between the second-placed hosts and a mid-table visitor. Yaroslavl sit on 35 points from 24 games, while Shanghai occupy sixth with 30 points from 23 matches. The gap in the standings reflects a significant difference in recent performance that will shape this encounter.
Team form
Lokomotiv Yaroslavl
Lokomotiv Yaroslavl have won four of their last five KHL games, the sole setback a heavy 0-5 home loss to Barys Astana on 20 September. Before that reversal, they strung together three consecutive wins: 2-1 away at Vladivostok, 2-1 at home against Avangard Omsk, 4-1 away to Tractor Chelyabinsk, and 3-2 away at CSKA Moscow. Across these five matches, they scored 11 goals and conceded 10, averaging 2.2 per game offensively and 2.0 defensively. The hosts have shown they can win on the road and at home, though the Barys result suggests vulnerability to sustained pressure.
Shanghai
Shanghai's recent record is markedly weaker. They have won only two of their last five outings: 2-1 at home against Dinamo Minsk and 3-2 at home over Yekaterinburg. Three defeats follow a troubling pattern—a 7-2 loss away to SKA St. Petersburg, a 3-1 defeat away to Lokomotiv Yaroslavl on 8 September, and a 4-0 reverse away to Bars Kazan in a friendly. Over these five matches, Shanghai managed just 8 goals while conceding 17, a ratio of 1.6 scored and 3.4 conceded per game. Away from home, they have lost both KHL fixtures in this sample, suggesting they struggle on the road.
Head-to-head
The teams met on 8 September 2026 in a KHL fixture at Lokomotiv Yaroslavl, where the hosts won 3-1. No additional head-to-head history is available.
Key factors
Lokomotiv Yaroslavl's second-place position and superior recent form—four wins in five—give them a clear structural advantage. Shanghai's defensive vulnerability away from home is acute: they conceded 3.4 goals per game over their last five matches and have lost both road KHL games in that span. Yaroslavl's attack has been prolific enough to exploit this, averaging 2.2 goals per game. Shanghai's home record (two wins in their last three at home) is stronger than their away form, but that offers limited comfort here. The hosts' sole recent blemish, the 5-0 defeat to Barys, was at home and appears an outlier rather than a trend. Yaroslavl have shown they can control games and finish them; Shanghai have shown they struggle to contain opponents away from home.
Prediction
The evidence points to a Lokomotiv Yaroslavl victory. They are the higher-ranked side with superior recent results, they have already beaten Shanghai this season, and they face an opponent that has been porous defensively on the road. Shanghai's inability to score consistently (1.6 per game recently) and their defensive frailty (3.4 conceded per game) make them vulnerable to Yaroslavl's more balanced and prolific approach. The hosts should control possession and create the clearer chances.
Lokomotiv Yaroslavl are strong favourites to win this match. Their form, league position, and head-to-head advantage over Shanghai combine to make them clear winners. Shanghai will need to tighten their away-day defence significantly to trouble the hosts, and their recent scoring rate suggests they will struggle to do so. Back Yaroslavl with confidence.
