Dinamo Brest v Isloch

Where to watch

Streamed on bookmakers' sites, 5pm Sunday

Best bet

Isloch or draw double chance
1pt 11-10 BoyleSports

Verdict

Dinamo Brest’s title defence hasn’t started off as well as they would have liked and a capable Isloch side could give them a stern examination. The visitors have lost only two of their last ten in the top flight and could gain at least a point from their trip to the champions.

Key stats

• Isloch have lost just two of their last ten matches in the Belarusian Premier League
• Four of Isloch’s last ten league games have ended 1-1
• Both teams have scored in nine of Dinamo Brest’s last 12 home league games
• Seven of Isloch’s last ten league away games have featured three or more goals

Spotlights

• Dinamo Brest’s 2-1 loss to Slavia last weekend ended their
  17-game unbeaten run in the league
• Reigning champions Dinamo Brest have won only one of their opening three games
• Isloch’s winning start to the season came to an end as they
  lost 3-2 at home to Slutsk last weekend
• Isloch, formed in 2007, achieved their best finish in the top flight last season as they clinched fifth place

Smolevichi v Shakhtyor

Where to watch

Streamed on bookmakers' sites, 3pm Sunday

Best bet

Under 2.5 goals
2pts 4-6 Paddy Power

Verdict

A promising draw on the opening day has given way to back-to-back defeats for Smolevichi and, after scoring just once this season, they face a Shakhtyor side who have conceded only one league goal. Just seven goals have been scored in the sides’ combined six league games, so another low-scoring contest is on the cards.

Key stats

• Under 2.5 goals has landed in all nine of the duo's competitive games this season
• Shakhtyor have kept a clean sheet in four of their six games this term
• Shakhtyor have won all three meetings with Smolevichi without conceding
• Smolevichi have lost five of their last six home games in the Belarusian top flight
  

Spotlights

• Smolevichi are taking part in only their second top-flight campaign
• After drawing with reigning champions Dinamo Brest in their opening match, Smolevichi have lost their last two games 1-0
• Shakhtyor have finished in the top three in each of the last ten seasons
• Smolevichi haven't won in the top flight since September 2018

BATE Borisov’s cup exit in midweek continued their disastrous start to the season and the dethroned Belarusian champions have now lost their last three games on the road. Minsk, meanwhile, have won two of their three outings this season and have lost only one of their last 11 home league games

Key stats

• BATE have scored in their last 11 away league games
• BATE’s last ten away games in the Belarusian Premier League have averaged 3.1 goals per game
