Belshina vs Smolevichy
Belarus Vysshaya Liga
Date: Friday, 17 April 2020
Kick-off at 15:30 UK/16:30 CET
Venue: Spartak Stadium (Bobruisk).
With both sides struggling for a win in the new edition of the league, we cannot count on a high-scoring affair at Spartak Stadium.
Belshina, mentored by Eduard Gradoboyev, jumped up to the top tier after finishing at the champions in the Belarusian First League last season. Smolevichy was the runners up in the First League under Aleksandr Brazevich.
Belshina suffered three consecutive losses in the league, following a 1-1 draw on the road with Neman in their previous match.
Smolevichy is also winless in the campaign so far, with two draws and losses each in their record. They will visit after a goalless draw at home with Soligorsk in their prior league clash.
Since 2013, these sides have met five times, and the host has a slight edge form their h2h history. Including their latest meeting, two of their five h2h clashes have ended in a draw.
It has to be noted that Aleksandr Brazevich and his men have only won against the host when playing away from home. Both matches hosted by Smolevichy in the First League resulted in a draw.
Considering these stats, the home team will be the favorites to win in the clash. To be safer, a double chance favoring Belshina at 1.40 odds will be the best bet in the fixture.
Only one of their five h2h meetings has produced fewer than 2 goals, both teams combined in a game. So, over 1.5 goals with 1.50 odds will be a safe bet for the punters in the encounter.
