BATE vs Zhodino Prediction & Betting tips
The subscription master rolls the field from behind! All sports eyes are still on Belarusian football, as the Vysshaya League is one of the few in which the ball continues to roll. The internationally best known club from Belarus is BATE Borisov, who received Torpedo Zhodino in the Borisov Arena this weekend.
The hosts got off the starting blocks very badly and directly lost the first two games of the season. But the shape curve rises steeply and the expected results come slowly.
But the guests were also convincing in the first few games and established themselves in the top group. Due to the success last weekend in the top game against the team of the State University Energetics-BGU, the black oranges caught up with the leader. Now BATE is a real yardstick for the team of coach Yuri Puntus and it will be shown whether his team is so solid that Torpedo also exists in Baryssau.
The kick-off of the top game of the Belarusian league takes place on Saturday at 18:00 p.m. in the Borisov Arena. Will BATE finally make it possible to forget the miserable start of the season? All other analyzes on the games from Belarus can be found in the international betting tips of the betting base.
BATE Borisov:
BATE has been the figurehead of Belarusian football for years. The yellow-blue celebrated a total of fifteen championships with their fans, thirteen in a row from 2006 to 2018. Last year the title was not defended and Dinamo Brest snatched away the trophy from the industry leader.
During this season, the team of head coach Kirill Alshevskiy made a classic false start. The two opening games at Energetik-BGU (1: 3) and Slavia Mozyr (1: 2) were lost at once and the new coach came under pressure, because at BATE only titles count at the state level.
But his team seems to have understood the shot in front of the bow. In the league there were now two successes in a row. If the 1-0 against promoted Rukh Brest was still difficult, the hosts overran FC Minsk with 3: 0. Also in the game BATE Borisov against Torpedo Zhodino, the unanimous forecast of the bookmakers is in favor of the home side.
The current runner-up is currently in seventh place in the Vysshaya Liga with six points; The gap to the leaders is only three points. With a victory over the current table runners-up, BATE can report back to the top group and pass the direct opponent.
With six goals scored Borisov is the second best offensive in the league. This is clearly the strength of the team. With five goals conceded, only a few teams received more hits than BATE, but in the last two games the yellow-blue managed a clean sheet!
The three-time title holder is still represented in the national cup. Borisov lost 1-0 to Slavia Mozyr in the first leg of the semi-final, but Coach Alshevskiy’s team still has every opportunity in the second leg to turn the game around and move on to the final. Internationally, the hosts have played five times in the UEFA Champions League, but they never managed to survive the group stage.
Torpedo Zhodino:
Torpedo is certainly one of the big surprises so far this season. The last season ended with a sixth place. For the season finale, coach Yuri Puntus from Belshina was hired, but initially had some starting difficulties.
This season, however, it seems to fit with the coach. After four game days, Zhodino has nine counters on the credit side and is tied for points with leaders Energetik-BGU in second place in the table. The two teams are two points ahead of the first chasers.
At the start of the league, the black oranges had two successes at Schachzjor Salihorsk and against Belshina Bobrujsk with the minimal result of 1: 0. At Dinamo Minsk it was their first defeat of the season. Last weekend, the league leader of the State University of Energetics-BGU visited Torpedo. The hosts won 2-0 and equalized with the leader.
Zhodino has so far celebrated all victories without conceding a goal and is the second best defensive in the league with just two goals conceded. In contrast, there are four goals scored – the worst value in the top group of the league.
So far, the most successful has been the Brazilian Gabriel Ramos, who was hired by Dinamo Batumi from Georgia at the start of the season and has twice overcome the opposing goalkeeper.
The 2016 cup winner dropped out of the quarter-finals in the league cup earlier this year after two losses to Schachzjor Salihorsk. After the successful start to the new season, the team of Coach Puntus is now facing a really fat touchstone. At the bookmakers, the guests entered the race as clear outsiders.
