Dynamo Brest vs Din. Minsk Prediction & Betting tips
Two big names in Belarusian football conclude the 8th matchday of the Vysshaya League on Sunday evening. The reigning champion Dinamo Brest welcomes the traditional Dinamo Minsk club to the DASK in Stadyen. Neither club can be really happy with the start of the 2020 season. The lead is already six and seven points away for both.
A look at the table service of the betting base also reveals that both teams have to be careful not to slip onto the relegation relegation site at the weekend. The advantage over the 14th place is just one or two points. At the same time, it is very close in the highest Belarusian league, so that with one or two victories you can quickly have a say at the top again.
Similar to the betting providers, the betting base sees the champion somewhat in front and thus bets Brest vs. Dinamo Minsk’s tip on a win from Dinamo Brest.
Brest:
After 13 BATE Borisov championships in a row, Dinamo Brest’s hour came in the previous season. With a lead of five points over the record champions, Brest secured the first league title in the club’s history. The master actually wanted to play for the title again this year. But the “Mission to Defend the Title” has so far proved more difficult than expected.
After seven matchdays, Dinamo is only in seventh place, six points behind leaders Slutsk. The blue and whites had suffered only one defeat in the previous season. There are currently three bankruptcies. In contrast, there are three wins and a draw. From the middle to the end of April, the champion had even suffered three losses in a row in the league and cup.
The defeat in the cup was not so serious. Here Brest had won the semi-final first leg at home 2-0 against Soligorsk. In the second leg they also led 2-0 away after 45 minutes and everything looked like they could get ahead easily. But the reigning title holder turned up in the second half and narrowly missed the final with a 4-2 win.
In the cup final, Dinamo will meet record champions BATE Borisov on May 24th and hope for the fourth title in this competition after 2007, 2017 and 2018. The bankruptcy series of three defeats in a row was last Sunday with a 3-0 victory at the bottom of the table Belshina be breached. Now it’s time for a home game again. Brest has just won one of his first four home games.
In the previous year, Brest had only given four points in 15 home games. Basically, the championship will soon have to go up again, otherwise coach Sergey Kovalchuk could be in a tight spot.
Kovalchuk, who has been working in various functions at the club for almost a decade and a half, had taken over the coaching position from master coach Marcel Licka before the season, who had to leave despite the championship.
Dinamo Minsk:
With the founding year 1927, Dinamo Minsk is one of the absolute traditional clubs in Belarus. Last season, the seven-time champion missed a place in the top three of the Vysshaya League for the first time in eight years at the end of the season. With 25 points behind the champions Dinamo Brest and missing the European Cup, there was a big disappointment in the capital.
This season, the traditional club from the capital should actually go up again. But the achievements in this season do not yet indicate that this can really succeed. In the still young season, the blue-whites already suffered four losses. Last Saturday Dinamo were beaten by league leaders Slutsk at home.
With this yield, the traditional club is currently only in fourth place in the table. The fact that coach Sergei Gurenko was dismissed after matchday 5 shows just how dissatisfied those responsible are with the season so far. The team had won 2-0 at home against Neman Grodno in this round. The successor was 60-year-old Leonid Kuchuk, who had already looked after clubs like Lok Moscow or FK Rostov.
The club from the capital has been waiting for another title for 16 years. So that things go up again at Dinamo, the squad was restructured before the season. But the way back to the top seems to be very long. With the 3-1 away win with promoted Smolevichy-STI on match day 6, the new coach was able to celebrate a successful debut.
But the home defeat against Slutsk was also the first setback for the blue and white under coach Kuckuk. Now Minsk has to go abroad again. Here, the threesome at the penultimate Smolevichy-STI was the only win in the last eight guest appearances.
The hopes on the offensive rest on Evgeni Shikavka, who is currently the top scorer of his team with four goals and one assist.
