Gorodeya v Dinamo Minsk

Where to watch

Streamed on bookmakers' sites, 4pm Saturday

Best bet

Gorodeya or draw double chance
1pt Evs general

Verdict

Favourites Dinamo Minsk have won just one of their last 12 league games so they look worth taking on at Gorodeya. The hosts have lost only a third on their home games since the start of last season and can gain a positive result against struggling Dinamo.

Key stats

• Dinamo Minsk have lost five of their last seven league games
• Gorodeya’s last seven league games have averaged 1.57 goals per game
• Dinamo Minsk are winless in their last six league games on the road
• Both teams have scored in just one of Gorodeya’s last nine league fixtures
  

Spotlights

• Gorodeya enjoyed their best season in the Belarusian Premier League last term as they finished seventh
• Dinamo Minsk missed out on a top-three finish for the first time in eight seasons in 2019
• Both Gorodeya and Dinamo Minsk got off the mark for the season with wins last weekend
• Gorodeya scored their first goal of the season in last week’s win over Belshina

Torpedo Zhodino v Energetik-BGU

Where to watch

Streamed on bookmakers' sites, 2pm Saturday

Best bet

Energetik-BGU or draw double chance
2pts 7-10 Betway

Verdict

Energetik avoided relegation last season thanks to a late surge in results and their upturn in form has continued at the start of the 2020 campaign. The visitors have won all of their three league games this term and are now unbeaten in eight outings, whereas Torpedo have won just three of their last ten.

Key stats

• Energetik-BGU have won six of their last eight league matches
• Torpedo Zhodino have scored in each of their last 11 home league games
• Energetik’s league games last season averaged 3.93 goals per game
• Energetik-BGU have lost just one of their last 11 league matches
  

Spotlights

• Energetik’s 2-0 win over Minsk last weekend continued their perfect start to the season
• On-loan winger Jasur Yakhshiboev has scored three and assisted one in his first three games for Energetik
• Torpedo Zhodino’s 2-0 loss to Minsk last Friday ended their winning start to the season
• Despite narrowly avoiding relegation last season, Energetik were three points clear at the top of the table heading into this weekend's fixtures

Slutsk v Vitebsk

Where to watch

Streamed on bookmakers' sites, midday Saturday

Best bet

Slutsk
2pts 5-4 Betfair, Paddy Power

Verdict

Both sides have enjoyed promising starts to the season but it’s Slutsk who have looked more impressive. Vitebsk’s two wins have come against relatively weak opposition, while Slutsk’s only slip-up was a narrow defeat to reigning champions Dinamo Brest. Expect a strong showing from the hosts, who have won four of their last five league games.

Key stats

• Slutsk have won lost only one of their last six league games
• Vitebsk have conceded exactly two goals in four of their last seven games
• Slutsk have conceded in each of their last four matches
• Vitebsk have lost nine of their last 13 league away games
  

Spotlights

• Slutsk came from behind to beat Isloch last weekend - the second time they have reversed a deficit this season
• Slutsk’s Marat Buraev and Vitebsk’s Daniil Chalov are suspended for Saturday’s clash after being sent off last weekend
• Vitebsk avoided relegation by just two points last season but have made a promising start in 2020
• Five different players have scored for Slutsk so far this season
