Slavia Mozyr vs Torpedo-BelAZ Prediction & Betting tips
The ball rolls slowly but surely again. Football fans can especially look forward to the first and second Bundesliga in Germany. Over the past few weeks, Belarus has primarily held up the football flag and ensured that the withdrawal symptoms were still limited.
This weekend in Belarus continues with the eighth matchday in the Vysshaya League. Overall, the Belarusian upper house is very balanced. There can therefore be no question of an unusual table picture. It is nevertheless interesting that Torpedo Zhodino gets the chance to lead the table.
Torpedo is currently number two in the Vysshaya League table. However, the gap to leader Slutsk is only two points. With a win on Saturday at Slavia Mozyr, the place in the sun waves – but only if Slutsk doesn’t win against Energetik Minsk at home on Friday.
The season did not start so well for Slavia Mozyr. However, the previous year’s climber in his second season in the first division can be quite satisfied with ten points from seven games and seventh place up to this point. Nevertheless, the tendency between Slavia Mozyr and Torpedo Zhodino to predict an away win.
Overall, the guests have been more successful in the last few games, although this is not necessarily evidence of a better shape. Torpedo is currently building an unbeaten series and this should continue on Saturday. The prospects are rather positive, which is why a bet on a home win between Slavia Mozyr and Torpedo Zhodino is not the first choice.
However, the best betting providers offer similar odds for a home and an away win. The bookmakers therefore expect an open match. The kick-off for the eighth matchday in the Belarusian Vysshaya League between Slavia Mozyr and Torpedo Zhodino in Stadyen Junatsva will take place on May 9, 2020 at 13:00 p.m.
Slavia Mozyr:
Slavia Mozyr will only be playing in the Vysshaya League again in the second year, but this club is certainly not a blank slate. In 1996 and 2000 the Belarusian championship was secured and at that time they could even hope for the meat pots in the Champions League. However, it was never enough to participate in the group phase.
For a good 20 years now, it has only been about proving yourself at the national level and not acquiring the image of an elevator team. At the moment, Slavia is well on the way to establishing itself in the upper house. If coach Mikhail Martinovich manages to do as well as last year, you will be satisfied.
However, things are not really going smoothly at the moment. Perhaps Mozyr was a little blinded by the fact that after winning the semi-final first leg of the Cup against Bate Borisov, you had one leg in the final. Slavia has since retired but has won again after four games without a win last weekend.
It looked like a long time after a defeat at the guest performance in Vitebsk. Ghanaian Francis Narh took the 1-0 break lead with a penalty, but after 65 minutes Vitebsk was 2-1 ahead. Joker Maksym Slyusar’s late substitution brought about the turning point when he secured a 3-2 away win with a double in the final minutes.
This success has shown that Slavia is physically on top of things. The coach also sees it that way, which is why Mikhail Martinovich currently sees his task as keeping the players mentally fit.
If he succeeds, the odds of a home win could be interesting in the match between Slavia Mozyr and Torpedo Zhodino.
There are not many reasons to make changes to the list. After Maksym Slyusar is fit again and has proven his danger of scoring in the last week, the Ukrainian attacker should surely be an alternative for the starting eleven, in which he may push the Russian Nikita Melnikov out of the storm center.
Torpedo Zhodino:
Yuri Puntus has a sonorous name in Belarus. It was he who shaped the young savages at Bate Borisov around the turn of the millennium and led to two championship titles. He was also national coach in Belarus for several years and was on the sidelines with Slavia Mozyr from 2014 – 2017. It will not be a normal game for the torpedo coach on Saturday.
With Torpedo Zhodino, Yuri Puntus took over a club last year with big goals and with BeLaz a financially strong sponsor. The best result of this club has been fourth in the Vysshaya League. Maybe Yuri Puntus will manage to lead this team into the qualification rounds for the Europa League again this year.
There is not much to complain about in the current constitution. Zhodino has been unbeaten for four games. However, there were also two goalless draws at home against Bate Borisov and Rukh Brest. Last weekend, however, Torpedo celebrated an outstanding win at FK Minsk.
The game shares, however, were not distributed as clearly as the 5-2 win says. This was because Torpedo had already decided the game after half an hour with a goal from Kirill Premudrov and two goals from Valeri Gorbachik. Minsk came twice, but again Valeri Gorbachik and Lipe Veloso made the final score.
With such an excellent exploitation of opportunities, Torpedo can travel to Mozyr with his head held high. With a total of four goals, Valeri Gorbachik has caught up with the best goal scorers in the league. Therefore, it is conceivable that in the match between Slavia Mozyr and Torpedo Zhodino, the forecast fits for another striker’s meeting.
After a 5-2 win, there is not much to complain about. Conversely, this means that Yuri Puntus shouldn’t be forced to make major changes to his lineup. Ilya Kukharchik will definitely still be missing. The midfielder Yuri Puntus brought from Bobruisk is still in rehab after a cruciate ligament rupture.
