Gorodeya – BATE Borisov, Premier League Prediction

Gorodeya already have 3 consecutive wins and no memory of their weak first matches. The team is 1 point behind 1st in the standings before the round starts and this is so good news. Moreover, Gorodeya achieved 3 consecutive 1-0 victories and their defense was exceptional. It will be difficult to make a better performance than last year, because now their players are not better, but they will come out quite confident against BATE Borisov.

The vice-champions have not yet won a championship match and this shows that this season they will obviously again have serious difficulties in winning the title. Something that wasn’t even commented on in many of the seasons before, in which BATE totally dominated the league and won title after title with ease. Now it is important to mention the fact that BATE have a very key match with Slavia during the week for the Belarusian Cup.

 Expert view: Here our prediction will be BATE to score in the 2nd half at 1.55. The reason for this is very simple. We think that Gorodeya will show strong defense again and will not allow BATE to score in the 1st half as the guests will not try to do so hard. However, we believe in BATE’s ability to take on the match in the 2^nd part. We think this is a better option than 1X at half time, because we do not exclude guests to score in the first half, too.
