On April 25, at 13:00, Naftan and Lida duel in the second round of the second league in Belarus, in a match in which the hosts have a odds of 1.82 to win. Bookmakers do not rule out a surprise in this balanced duel, in which white-reds come to fight for points.
After the first stage, both bands would have liked to look better in the hierarchy. But it’s almost impossible, when you have to recover penalty points! Due to some administrative irregularities, both teams started with a massive handicap: Lida has 3 penalty points at the start of the season, and Naftan (former first division) no less than 15.
Even if Naftan had normally hoped for promotion, it is now clear to everyone that this club will fight in the relegation zone. In the first stage, Naftan drew white at Gomel, after a good match that confirmed the performances from the summer friendly: 5-3 with Chimik Svetlogorsk, 4-0 and 5-1 with Polotsk. Lida lost to Orsha in the first stage, score 2-3, after an open game.
We note that Lida has won three of the last four direct duels with Naftan, twice with 1-0 and once with 2-1. Instead, Naftan won the previous game with Lida, at home, score 3-2 in August 2019. Then, the guests opened the score through Kutsepalov (’29), but Kleschenko (’40), Tamelo (’76 – pen .) and Borisov (’84) reversed the fate of the party.
PREDICTION: Naftan to win @ 1,82
