Neman vs Energetik-BGU Prediction & Betting tips
The Belarusian football elite stumbles. Five games have already been played in the Vysshaya League and there is currently no sign of the top clubs catching up. With FK Slutsk, the table eleventh last season is at the top of the table. It remains to be seen how long the blue and white wonder can hold on to pole position.
The sixth matchday of the Vysshaya League will kick off on Friday evening. Among other things, there is a match between Neman Grodno and Energetik-BGU. According to the odds of the best bookmakers, a prediction of the home side is probably the best choice. The guests are in spite of better table placement in the outsider role.
Neman Grodno’s mini crisis is currently continuing. So far, the home side has only had one win this season. On the previous day, the yellow-greens conceded an away defeat at Dinamo Minsk. In the entire game, not a single shot from Neman hit the opposing goal. The team’s offensive thus remains the big construction site.
According to the previous appearances of Neman Grodno and Energetik-BGU, a tip on a low goal encounter is by no means absurd. In addition to our forecast for the Friday game below, further tips and analyzes for the sixth matchday in the Vyyshaya League can be found in the betting base section International Football Tips.
Neman Grodno:
In recent years, Neman Grodno has largely stayed away from the relegation battle in the domestic league – nothing should change this season either. In order to compensate for the weak start to the season, the yellow-greens have to slowly make up for the turnaround. There was only one win for Neman Grodno on the first five matchdays.
Most recently, the Greens from Grodno remained victorious three times in a row. With the defeat on the previous day, important points were left again. So far, Neman has been unbeaten in the first two home games. After the home win over Vitebsk (2-0), there was an unfortunate home draw against the bottom table Belshina just two weeks ago.
The team around head coach Igor Kovalevich wants to take advantage of the home advantage on Friday evening and claim the second win of the current season. Cross-season, Neman Grodno has been unbeaten in five home games in a row. It remains to be seen whether this series against energetics BGU will be continued.
In order to avoid further reckless point losses, the offensive of the yellow-greens will be in particular demand. At last, the attack by the yellow-greens was harmless. Last week there was not a single successful shot at the opposing goal at the Minsk away bust. Accordingly, the lack of a goal was not exactly surprising.
Kovalevich may make some changes to the squad given the weak offensive performance. Volodymyr Koval and Valeri Zhukovski are expected to be two players in the starting XI. It remains to be seen whether the offensive game will become more lively.
Energetics BGU:
Energetik-BGU is one of the positive surprises this season. The start of the season is quite impressive with nine points from the first five games. Considering that the “students” barely made it into the league last season, such a start into the 2020 season was not to be expected.
Right at the start of the season there was a huge surprise from the “students” from the Belarusian capital. The record champion BATE Borisov was dealt with 3: 1 in the RCOP-BGU stadium. Jasur Yakhshiboev, loan player from the Uzbek top club Pakhtakor Tashkent, made two appearances on his competitive debut for energetics BGU.
The 22-year-old Uzbek forward takes over from Ilia Shkurin. Last season, Shkurin became the “student” top scorer in the Vysshaya League. In total, the ex-goalgetter from Energetik-BGU scored 19 goals, thus underpinning its national ambitions. Shkurin switched to CSKA Moscow in the latest transfer window.
After three victories in a row, there were two consecutive defeats for Energetik-BGU. The “students” missed the defeats against Zhodino (0-2) and Gorodeja (0-1) despite great offensive efforts. However, Vladimir Belyavski is unlikely to make any changes to his starting line-up. According to the statistics, the recent defeats have been very unfortunate.
