Dinamo Brest vs Isloch Predictions

• Isloch have lost just two of their last 10 Belarus Premier League games.
• Dinamo Brest have only won three of their last seven league matches on home soil.
• Three of these seven games have ended as 1-1 draws.
• Isloch have seen four of their last 10 in the Premier League end 1-1.

Dinamo Brest suffer from weight of expectation

After writhing the Belarus Premier League title away from BATE Borisov for the first time since 2005, Dinamo Brest were always going to have the pressure heaped upon their shoulders in the 2020 campaign. So far, they haven’t handled this added scrutiny particularly well.

They managed to clinch a crucial first leg lead in the Belarusian Cup semi-final in midweek, but in the Premier League they have picked up just four points from three matches so far. Their latest outing, a 2-1 defeat at home to Slavia Mozyr, saw their run of 17 unbeaten league games come to an abrupt end.

This leaves Dinamo Brest five points adrift of the top spot already and, with just three wins in their last seven home league games, that deficit could well be set to increase this weekend.

Isloch continue to make improvements

Isloch have shown consistent progression ever since their formation back in 2007, and their 5th place finish made last year their best ever season. Breaking into the top three will be a tough ask, but so far their start to the 2020 campaign has been encouraging.

They won their opening two matches 1-0 against Neman Grodno and Smolevichi and, while a complete defensive collapse in the second half saw them lose 3-2 last weekend, they can still look back at a respectable points tally at this early stage.

Visitors set to make life difficult for champions

Despite coming up against the reigning champions, Isloch will feel like they have a chance of getting something from this game. They have only lost two of their last 10 league matches and they carry that same impressive form over into their away games too. Isloch have won four, drawn three and lost two of their last nine Premier League away days, including a stunning 4-2 win over BATE at the back end of last season.

This makes a bet of Isloch win or draw double chance look particularly appealing, and in the end we’re expecting the spoils to be shared. Four of Isloch’s last 10 league games have ended 1-1, while Dinamo Brest have seen the same scoreline in three of their last seven home league games. For this reason, a 1-1 correct score prediction stands out to us.
