Zhodino vs Gorodeja Prediction & Betting tips
After eight match days in the Vysshaya League there is for the first time a league leader who was also to be expected in the run-up to the season: BATE Borisov. The Belarusian record champion has conquered pole position after a bumpy start to the season and greets from the top of the table. Numerous pursuers are sitting close to BATE Borisov’s neck.
This includes Torpedo Zhodino. The third in the table of the Vysshaya League senses the chance of leading the table and wants to present on Friday evening. At the start of the ninth game day, Torpedo Zhodino meets Gorodeya and, according to odds, is the best bookmaker in the favorites role. So far there has been only one defeat for Zhodino – will it stay that way?
The strong defense of Torpedo played a major role in the success of the third in the table. With only four goals conceded, the team around head coach Yuri Puntus is currently the second strongest defense in the Vysshaya League. Only the defense bulwark of Shakhtar Soligorsk can undercut this defensive value with just three goals.
Even the offensive by league leaders BATE Borisov has bitten its teeth on Torpedo Zhodino’s strong defensive. In total, the Puntus team have been able to keep their white vest six times this season. It is quite possible that the home game against Gorodeya will be kept at zero. At Torpedo Zhodino vs. Gorodeya, we find a forecast on the home side quite obvious.
Torpedo Zhodino:
For the club sponsored by “BelAZ”, fourth place in the table in the Vysshaya League was the best result of the season so far. According to the current course of the season, it cannot be ruled out that this best value will be topped by head coach Yuri Puntus. So far, Torpedo Zhodino has had a great start to the season and deserves to be in third place in the table.
In the eight games of the current season there was only one defeat at Dinamo Minsk. Most recently, Torpedo Zhodino remained unbeaten five times in a row and won an important away draw with BATE Borisov, the Belarusian record champions. On Friday evening there is now a chance to lead the table – if only temporarily.
BATE Borisov kicks on Saturday evening and meets Slutsk at the summit. If Torpedo Zhodino wins a victory over Gorodeya on Friday evening, the top of the table will be conquered with two points and one game more on the account. The team of Yuri Puntus does not want to miss this opportunity.
The decisive factor for the strong start to the season was undoubtedly the defense of Torpedo. With only four goals conceded, the third place in the table is the second strongest defense of the Vysshaya League. Only Shakhtar Soligorsk’s back team (three goals conceded) were better off. During this season, the clean sheet has been preserved in six competitive games.
The strong torpedo defense is now facing a comparatively simple task on Friday evening. Gorodeya is the weakest offensive team in the league. Should the Puntus team take the latest swing from their last competitive matches, a home win at Torpedo Stadium will not really be at risk.
Gorodeya:
Gorodeya is currently not easy to classify, but there are already signs of a possible relegation battle. After eight match days, there was no sign of Constance. The green-whites have been victorious three times in a row, wasting the momentary momentum of the winning streak.
The team’s largest construction site remains the offensive. So far there have been only five goals to be celebrated this season. Gorodeya is currently the worst offensive in the entire Vysshaya League. Thanks to the strong defensive, the team of coach Oleg Radushko does not occupy a relegation zone. There were comparatively confident appearances there.
Last week, the Green-Whites won an important point after a draw in a competitive match. In the 1-1 draw against FC Minsk, Lazar Sajcic, currently the only top among the green-whites, scored his second goal of the current season. Radushko is also likely to rely on his Serbian protege for the away game against Zhodino.
On Friday evening we could face Torpedo Zhodino vs. Gorodeya expect a real defensive battle. A forecast of less than 2.5 goals does not seem to be wrong with the manageable offensive power of the guests. So far, Gorodeya has not scored more than one goal in any game this season.
Abroad, Radushko’s team has been unbeaten three times in a row. Only in the away game against FK Vitebsk has Gorodeya failed so far. If Torpedo Zhodino wins a point win against Gorodeya for the guests, lucrative betting odds can be tapped.
