Isloch vs Belshina Bobruisk Predictions

• Isloch won four of their first five home games of the season.
• Belshina Bobruisk are searching for their first victory of the campaign.
• Isloch scored exactly two goals in 100% of their last three home matches.
• Despite not winning, Beshina notched in 75% of their last four games.

Isloch on the rise

Isloch can move to within one point of top spot if they can turn bottom club Belshina Bobruisk over and other key results in the Belorussian Premier League go their way on Sunday.

Vitaly Zhukovsky’s charges’ results in the early throes of the 2020 have been wildly inconsistent so far, with their record showing four wins and three defeats from their first seven matches of the campaign.

However, Isloch have been posting some excellent results at the Stadyen Traktar, where five of their opening seven fixtures have been contested.

Home form key for Isloch

The Minsk outfit emerged as victors from four of those matches, losing just once at home in a five-goal thriller against the division’s early pace setters, Slutsk.

The fine home record Isloch carry into Sunday’s latest game at the same venue will make for some disconcerting reading for their newly promoted visitors, Belshina.

The Premier League’s new boys have understandably found the step-up in quality tough so far this season, losing five and drawing the other two of their first seven top-flight assignments.

Worryingly for coach Eduard Gradoboyev, the defensive robustness that Belshina displayed in the first few weeks of the season already looks like eroding, and having shipped six goals in their last two games, they arrive in the Belorussian capital looking vulnerable.

Goals on offer for Isloch

We’re backing Isloch, who have looked a convincing force at home, to take advantage of their visitor’s increasing fragility, and that in turn makes the over 1.5 home team goals market an attractive option for Sunday.

Isloch scored exactly two goals in each of their last three run outs on their own patch and with Belshina’s rearguard starting to look more and more porous by the week, we think the hosts can maintain their two-goal average.

Our 2-1 correct score prediction backs the visitors to notch a consolation however. Belshina have been giving their beleaguered supporters moments to cheer in recent weeks, by notching in three of their last four games, and we think they are capable of repeating the trick against an Isloch side conceding 0.8 goals per home game on average this term.
