Gorodeja vs BATE Prediction & Betting tips
If we were to start a survey on what you think about football in Belarus, Bate Borisov would often be the answer. This club has stood for sport in Belarus like nothing else in recent years. Bate became Belarusian champion 13 times in a row and fought numerous battles in the Champions League.
The glamor is now crumbling a bit, because Dinamo Brest has thrown Borisov off the throne last season and the international hussar pieces have also been a while ago. Nevertheless, Bate is still a candidate for the championship this year. A win on Saturday at FC Gorodeja could underpin these ambitions.
In the table of the Belarusian league, Gorodeja is currently ahead. Fourth place went to the Oleg Radushko team. This is just one point behind the top trio of Slutsk, Vitebsk and Belaz. If the game day runs optimally, even the leaders of the table wave. A win against Bate is mandatory.
Borisov is currently in the middle of the classification and has collected seven points from five games. If we only look at the table, then the forecast between Gorodeja and Bate Borisov should go in the direction of the home side. However, the betting providers we tested indicate with their odds that they see it quite differently.
The significantly lower betting odds are offered on an away win. At this point in the season, both clubs share the fact that they made a false start in the Vysshaya Liga with two defeats, but then got better and better in shape and scored well. That could suggest placing a tip on a draw between Gorodeja and Bate Borisov.
Overall, this match doesn’t seem as clear as the bookmakers estimate. It is conceivable that the home team will continue to expand its great series and will not stop at big names. The kick-off for the sixth matchday in the Belarusian Vysshaya Liga between FK Gorodeja and Bate Borisov in Stadyen Haradzeya will take place on April 25, 2020 at 15:00 p.m.
Gorodeja:
Gorodeja has been playing in the top league in Belarus since 2015. This does not mean that this team is now part of the inventory, but the Oleg Radushko team has made a name for itself in the Vysshaya Liga, which is also due to the coach, who was an assistant coach for many years, and the club as the main manager last season in seventh place.
Gorodeja is currently in a slightly better position and maybe this year you could even get a taste of the qualification for the Europa League. However, it is not particularly attractive what Gorodeja has conjured up on the lawn so far this season. In all five league games you would have been right with tips on bottom goals.
In addition, only one team ever scored. The points won so far speak for Oleg Radushko, because after two defeats at the start of the season Gorodeja has now taken three wins in a row and most recently beat Energetics, which Bate Borisov has already defeated this season.
In general, we can imagine checking the odds of a home win in the match between Gorodeja and Bate Borisov. Last weekend there was the mentioned victory at the current leader in energetics. In front of 123 spectators, Andrey Sorokin was the shooter of the golden goal shortly before the break.
Of course, Oleg Radushko is criticized for his team’s defensive style of play, but the successes of the last few games prove him right.
The coach does not get exuberant when he talks about the way his team works, but he speaks of normal and good football. The attribute would currently be added successfully.
In five games from Gorodeja there were four 1-0 and one 2-0 this season. However, this is a series that can quickly tear. At this point we are not too good for a narrow application.
Bate Borisov:
Bate Borisov is a giant in Belarusian football. However, every era comes to an end and at Bate that seems to be the case now, for example, when Aliaksandr Hleb, the undisputed superstar of Belarusian football of the past 20 years, ends his career in Isloch and other big names like Egor Filipenko age are.
Nevertheless, the goal must be to bring the championship back from Brest to Borisov. However, that sounds easier said than done. Without the international successes – Bate recently failed in the qualifications for the Champions League and Europa League – there is a lack of change to attract the stars.
That could be one reason why Bate has been slow to start the new season. The team of Kirill Alshervskiy started the new season with two defeats, but has now managed to get seven points from the last three games and thus free themselves from the table basement. The top is only three meters away.
Maybe there will be another attack on the weekend. However, a victory in Gorodeja is mandatory. Last weekend there was a loss of points against Torpedo Belaz at home when you had to make do with 0: 0 in front of 672 spectators. The course was almost set for victory.
Shortly before the break, Bate was awarded a penalty. Pavel Nekhajchik, however, missed this opportunity and so Bate is missing another two important points in the classification. Nevertheless, the odds comparison of the betting base shows that the bookmakers continue to have confidence in the skills of this team.
Before the whistle between Gorodeja and Bate Borisov, the bookmakers’ forecast clearly goes in the direction of the guests. In view of the current form of both teams, the value can hardly be found in these betting odds.
