Smolevichi vs BATE Prediction & Betting tips
With Smolevichi and BATE Borisov, two previously closely interwoven clubs will meet on matchday eight. After their founding eleven years ago, the home side initially acted as the record master’s farm team. This collaboration has since ended and the hosts have been changing classes in Belarus on a regular basis for the past two years.
The first promotion to the Vysshaya League 2018 was followed by the immediate descent and now the return to the House of Lords. The identity as an elevator team on the part of Smolevichi could still be strengthened this season – until now, Aleksandr Brazevich’s team has appeared again as a relegated team.
Not a single victory has yet been landed: a negative performance that otherwise only Belshina has in the Belarusian upper house. For their part, the guests find their way ever better after initial difficulties.
Last but not least, the opponent’s harmless series of attacks speaks for itself. Along with Rukh Brest’s offensive, this is one of the weakest in the league. The kick-off at Ozerny Stadium is at 16:00 p.m. on May 10th. Further analyzes of games in the Vysshaya League can be found in the section of the betting base for international football.
Smolevichi:
At Smolevichi, you already have to worry about relegation. Back in 2018, after the promotion season had to go into second class immediately, a very weak attack was also one of the most important factors.
Just 0.7 goals were scored per league game two years ago. At the moment the average is only 0.43 per match. This could even be calculated down, since the result also includes an own goal. No wonder that no season game has yet been won, even against equally weak representatives like the bottom of the table Belshina.
No goal has been achieved four times in 90 minutes and the formerly stable defense is now also breaking down. In the last two rounds, she conceded five goals in the 1-3 against Dinamo Minsk and the most recent 0-2 against Energetik-BGU. The latter home game was a particularly impressive example of the defense’s downward trend.
The opponent was stuck in a deep valley until the encounter and had not scored three times in a row. But against Smolevichi, the opponent was able to cure their weaknesses because the home side allowed a multitude of chances: In the end it was an impressive 15 shots on goal for Energetik-BGU.
It is obvious that the line of defense has become infected by the increasing uncertainty in the team. With Konstantin Kotov, a regular player of the back team is now out. The defender picked up a yellow-red card just before the game ended last weekend, which is why he is now doomed to watch.
The Smolevichi – Bate Borisov forecast is alluded to with six units.
BATE Borisov:
At first, it seemed that the majesty insult to Borisov last year when Dinamo Brest ended a series of no less than 13 titles for BATE would have caused a crack in the team.
Two bankruptcies on the first two matchdays and a short time later a flop in the semi-final first leg of the domestic cup against Slavia Mozyr were a worrying record from the point of view of the former series champion already in third place again.
At the end of April, the move into the final of the cup was brought under lock and key. Thanks to a 2-0 win in the second leg against Mozyr, this competition can now be won again after 2015. The final against the reigning champions Dinamo Brest will rise in around two weeks.
The win in the second leg also demonstrated once again the strength of defense at BATE. Five out of seven competitive games in the past month ended with a clean sheet. Stanislav Dragun is in a good mood on the offensive.
The second best scorer of the previous year scored a goal in three of the last four league games and is thus already walking on very successful paths. New signing Pavel Nekhajchik from the champion from Brest, who is the fourth best goal-keeper of the past season, is getting better and better. Among other things, he scored a goal in the recent 3-1 win against Neman.
Furthermore, the Belarusian oldie Igor Stasevich shows that he continues to have his core competence of intelligent templates. The second strongest assistant of the past season in the Vysshaya League is currently again at the top of the league-wide ranking in this area.
Last weekend, the captain put on no less than two of his team’s three goals – he also got the goalkeeper himself. Given the rising form of the guests and the constantly desolate condition of the hosts, the odds for one are at Smolevichi – BATE Borisov Victory away including a break on top of interest.
This was not the case only with the only domestic point win so far due to a goalless draw against Soligorsk.
