Neman vs Rukh Brest Prediction & Betting tips
Western duel in Belarus! While this week the decision was made that the Bundesliga should continue its season, there has never been much talk of an interruption in Belarus. Instead, the league saved those interested in betting about the uneventful sporting time.
The eighth matchday of the Vysshaya League takes place this weekend. In Grodno, FK Neman, who lives there, welcomes the guests of Rukh Brest. A largely unknown team that was only founded in 2016 and has since marched through the lower leagues of Belarus and hurried from ascent to ascent.
The defensive artists from Brest are doing remarkably well in the first year in the country’s highest league and have already posted a few points on their account. The host from Grodno has so far only collected one point less than the guests and hopes to outperform the direct opponents in the Vysshaya League table with a weekend success.
If we trust the estimates of the bookmakers, the chances of success for the hosts are not bad. The bookies in the game Neman Grodno against Rukh Brest, according to odds, make a positive prognosis for the outcome of the game in favor of the Yellow Greens. The kick-off at Njoman Stadium will be on Saturday at 15:00 p.m.
Neman Grodno:
Neman Grodno is one of the founding members of the Belarusian league. The club never had to go to Pershaya (2nd division). The fans celebrated their greatest triumph in 1993 when they won the national cup. Nine years later, the yellow-green sniffed the championship, but ultimately had to settle for second place.
In the last few seasons, the men from the Memel have always held their ground in the middle of the league. Last season, ninth place was reached in the final accounts. With two wins and two draws from seven championship games, the start of the new season has been rather mixed. With a total of eight points, the hosts occupy only fourteenth place, but are already five points ahead of the relegation ranks.
Grodno is particularly characterized by the home strength in the games completed. In the three games in the home stadium, the team of head coach Igor Kovalevich has not yet suffered a defeat. In addition to clear victories against Vitebsk (2: 0) and Energetik-BGU (3: 0), Neman made a 1-1 draw against Belshina Bobruisk. Only Isloch Minsk collected more points at home, taking into account that they also played two more games.
Given these statistics, it is not surprising that the home side are the favorites in this duel.
In the home games, goalkeeper Dmitri Dudar only conceded a single goal, while his teammates have successfully used six times. A clear advantage for the Kovalevich team to play in front of their own fans.
Armenian Gegam Kadimyan is a thoroughbred striker who has already scored four goals and is thus at the top of the list of goalscorers. With a success on Saturday, the hosts would make a huge leap in the tight table and outperform Rukh Brest.
Rukh Brest:
The most amazing development in Belarusian football in recent years was made by the Rukh Brest team. Founded only in 2016, the blue and whites marched from ascent to ascent and from league to league. A win in the relegation games last year against Dnyapro Mogilev ultimately led to the league in the highest league, where it must now be asserted.
At least the season start has succeeded. After seven game days, the Brests already have two wins and three draws on their account. The blue-whites are in the secured midfield with nine points and are already six points ahead of the first relegation zone.
A look at the goal difference quickly reveals the strengths and weaknesses of the team of head coach Aleksandr Sednev. With three goals, Rukh is the best defensive in the Vysshaya League. On average, the guests only allow the opponents to score every two games. The offensive is correspondingly weak. So far, the blue-whites have only three success stories on the credit side. This is the worst value in the league.
The promoted player has been unbeaten for four games. In addition to the win against FC Minsk (1-0), there were three draws with Slavia Mozyr (0-0), Torpedo Zhodino (0-0) and against Gorodeja (1-1). In four duels on the opponent’s place, the blue-whites went off only once, at 0: 1 at BATE, as losers.
Söder next chancellor?
Nevertheless, the best betting providers clearly see the guests in the outsider role. Will the guests succeed in a surprise duel in Belarus?
