Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 9 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 7 of the last 10 matches for this competition. In their home matches there is a tendency for goals, since 38 of the last 44 matches have ended with Over 1,5 goals. In 13 matches in this tournament, he suffered the first goal 8 times and never got the comeback.
It took a long time, but Belshina finally got his first victory in the Belarusian championship. However, this did not change his campaign, which is still the worst in the competition. Their numbers make that clear and if they want something better during the season, it should evolve. At home wins are critical and this also applies to the current round. However, they will face the best team in the championship and, if they manage to avoid defeat, they will be a good size.
BATE :
After 8 wins, 3 draws and 2 losses, the visiting team is currently in 1st position, with 27 points won. In their last match, they tied in a home match against Shakhtyor by (2‑2), after in the previous match they had tied in an away match against Vitebsk, by (2‑2). This is a team that presents similar results at home and away, so it is not usually affected by the home factor, since in the last 30 games it has recorded 8 wins, 3 draws and 4 losses as a visitor; against 10 wins, 4 draws and 1 loss in his stadium. In its last 7 games as a visitor for the championship, BATE has recorded 4 wins, 1 draw and 2 losses, so it has won 13 points in 21 possible.

Saying that BATE Borisov is in the lead is not a surprise, but it is not comfortable. You should continue to focus on good results so as not to risk losing positions. Given last place, he has favoritism, no matter how long the game is away from home. To add the three points there is no mystery, just show your usual football. This fact will certainly celebrate a positive outcome at the end of the confrontation.
