BATE Borisov vs Torpedo Zhodino Prediction

Alshevsky’s men had finished second in the league table the prior season, and they had scored the second-most number of goals in the process. Keep note that they had also registered the best defensive stats in the league in 2019. 

Going on, they have lost just once at home since May of 2019, and in the last 12 months, only once have they failed to find the back of the net in front of the home crowd. Impressively, it was in the Europa League.

Also, Alshevsky’s men registered nine of the former ten h2h wins, and 14 of the previous 17 at this venue. On the other hand, Yuri Puntus’s men have recorded a single win away from home in the previous six months.

Taking all these observations into account, it’s estimated that BATE Borisov are on the course to post the three points on the board. However, note that Puntus’s men are at the top of the table at present, and in possession of the lone Champions League spot. They have also scored goals in 10 of the prior 11 h2h clashes.

Considering these stats, it’s deduced that goals will come from both teams this weekend.
