Isloch vs Vitebsk Predictions

• Isloch have won three of their four Belarus Premier League home games this season, two of them by a 1-0 scoreline.
• Vitebsk have lost nine of their last 14 on the road in the Belarus Premier League.
• Vitebsk have seen an average of just 1.4 goals per game in the league this year.

Isloch continue to grow in stature

Isloch showed remarkable improvement last year as they achieved their best ever Belarus Premier League position, finishing 5th in the top flight just four years after their first ever promotion to the league.

They have continued in that vein of form at the start of the 2020 campaign too, and currently sit just a point off the top spot after winning three of their opening five games.

Of course, you can point to the fact that four of their opening five matches have been played at home, but even so it’s an impressive start. They have won three of these four home games, and will be hoping to jump up a few places with a win on Sunday.

Vitebsk bounce back impressively after 2019 disappointment

Vitebsk won’t be an easy team to beat, though. They sit at the top of the Belarus Premier League having collected 10 points from their opening five rounds. This is a particularly impressive start when you consider they finished just a point outside the relegation playoff zone last season. Their 10 point tally represents almost a third of their total haul last year.

The visitors haven’t proved unbeatable though. They lost 2-0 away to Neman Grodno and, despite their lofty position in the standings, they have scored just four goals so far this term.

Only one of their three wins has come away from home too, and looking back to last season Vitebsk have lost nine of their last 14 league away days.

Low scoring home win on the cards on Sunday

Isloch, meanwhile, have won three of their four home games this season and have only lost one of their last eight there. This makes an Isloch win look a nice price for Sunday afternoon.

It’s likely to be a low scoring win as well. Two of Isloch’s home games this season have been settled by a single goal, while Vitebsk have seen an average of just 1.4 goals per game in their five matches this term. For this reason, we’re opting for a 1-0 correct score prediction.
