Torpedo Zhodino – Rukh Brest, Premier League Prediction

Torpedo withstood the numerous attacks of BATE in the last round and did not allow them to score, but kept a clean sheet and took another point, leaving only 1 loss from the beginning of the season and a pretty good place in the standings. Torpedo will have to dominate the game against Rukh Brest this time, or at least that’s expected because it’s logical. Guests are newcomers and have not individual class in the squad.

Rukh may have scored only 2 goals this season, but those 2 goals have brought them a total of 6 points in the league. The team is very defensive and it is likely that most of their matches will end with under 2.5 goals during this campaign, which was a winning option in the past but in the lower division. Keep in mind that Rukh is playing for the first time in the elite of Belarus and it is normal to approach the most cautiously, especially in the beginning.

 Expert view: We think this match is a must-play Draw at halftime, because both teams have very strong defenses and are not particularly effective in attack. As mentioned, Rukh has only scored 2 goals, but they have allowed 2 since the beginning of the season and have already played 5 games. At the same time, Torpedo also scored 2 goals, but more interestingly, 4 of Torpedo’s 5 championship games ended 0-0 at halftime. This is exactly our prediction for the game – First Half – Draw at 1.90.
