On Saturday, from 18:00 pm, BATE Borisov and Torpedo Zhodino meet in the 5th stage of Belarus, in a duel in which the hosts are favorite and have a falling share. The guests started the season well, but despite the experienced team, they have a small chance at Borisov.
Torpedo Zhodino is the up-to-date leader in Belarus, followed by Gorodeja and Energetik-BGU, which should fight relegation this season. BATE started the season hard, but comes after a clear 3-0 victory at FC Minsk, and the yellow-blue form is on an uphill slope.
BATE Borisov is on the 8th place (golaveraj 6-5) and has a psychological advantage in front of Zhodino: he won three of the last four straight duels, but getting empty every time (2-1, 4-1 and 2-1) . The previous round, Torpedo defeated Energetik (2-0), with goals from Khatchaturyan (’55) and Ramos (’66). At BATE the midfielder Dragun, author of two goals this season, is noted. But the hosts have enough offensive potential to bring danger from all compartments.
If he is playing to his full potential, BATE Borisov has every chance to prevail against a dangerous opponent, who has several quality players. But odds indicate a momentum imbalance that should be speculated on betting. We bet on a victory of the favorites from Borisov, who have the first chance at the title this year.
PREDICTION: BATE to win @ 1,41
