BATE are rightly leading the pack by four points as we head into round 10. We have seven exciting fixtures available after the table-toppers opened the gameweek with a 3-1 victory over Dynamo Brest on Wednesday evening. Let’s get to it.
Thursday 21 May
Neman Grodno 2/1
Draw 2/1
Torpedo Zhodino 14/10
Neman Grodno will be raring to go having not played last weekend and they come into this match as outsiders, having lost three of the last four games. Torpedo Zhodino are unbeaten in six league games and sit four points behind BATE in second. The away win is tipped at 14/10.
Friday 22 May
Slavia Mozyr 19/20
Draw 9/4
Gorodeya 28/10
Slavia Mozyr haven’t scored in the last two matches and are winless in three games on home soil. Gorodeya come into the clash winless in four games with two draws and two losses to quality opposition BATE and Shakhter. The visitors have edged Slavia 1-0 in the last two meetings, but my money is on Draw + Gorodeya at 15/20.
Shakhter 1/4
Draw 17/4
Belshina 10/1
Shakhter have scored eight goals during their four-game unbeaten run and are short-priced to get the job done. Belshina are rock bottom and haven’t won a match yet. Last season Shakhter won this game 5-0, back them on the (-1) Handicap at 7/10.
Saturday 23 May
Smolevichi 43/20
Draw 43/20
Minsk 5/4
Smolevichi is the other team yet to win a match yet and have lost four of their five home games. Minsk’s game was postponed last week and they will welcome this away game after collecting four points from their last two games on the road. The away win is tipped at 5/4.
Slutsk 27/20
Draw 43/20
Rukh 39/20
Slutsk were outclassed by BATE in the 3-0 defeat and need to desperately end their two-game losing streak. Rukh are unbeaten in six games with four draws and two wins. The home win is a solid bet at 27/20.
Isloch 14/10
Draw 24/10
Energetik-BGU 17/10
Isloch have lost all their away games this season and secured all their points on home soil. Energetik-BGU have won three games on the bounce. My money is on Isloch at 14/10.
Vitebsk 32/10
Draw 24/10
Dinamo Minsk 17/20
Vitebsk have drawn back-to-back games following two consecutive defeats and sit ninth. Dinamo Minsk ended their two-game losing run by beating Isloch 1-0 and sit tenth. Back Dinamo Minsk to grab maximum points at 17/20.
