Torpedo Zhodino vs Energetik-BGU Predictions

• Energetik-BGU are unbeaten in their last eight Belarus Premier League matches.
• Torpedo Zhodino have only won three of their last 10 games in the league.
• Torpedo Zhodino have scored in each of their last 11 home league games.
• Energetik have averaged 2.2 goals per game in their last 10 top flight outings.

Winning start halted for Torpedo Zhodino

Torpedo BelAZ Zhodino saw their winning start to the Belarus Premier League campaign come to an abrupt end last weekend as Dinamo Minsk clinched a deserved 2-0 victory.

This followed on from back-t0-back 1-0 wins over Shakhtyor and Belshina to start the season but, with the likes of BATE and Dinamo Brest starting slowly, it still leaves the hosts in a decent position at this early stage of the campaign.

Energetik-BGU enjoy stint at top of the table

In fact, only one team have collected more points, and that team happens to be Energetik-BGU. The visitors, despite being reduced to ten men with 20 minutes remaining, eked out an excellent 2-0 win over Minsk to make it three wins on the trot. Considering they finished just three points clear of the relegation playoff spot last season this is a truly unexpected start for Energetik.

The visitors made a name for themselves last season with their gung-ho approach to the game, with their 30 league matches seeing a total of 118 goals scored. Unfortunately for Energetik the majority of those went in at the wrong end, and they needed a run of three wins in their last four games to save them from relegation.

This season has continued in that vein, and while they have maintained a solid attacking output (six goals in three games) they have improved the back line considerably. It’s certainly looking like a promising season for Energetik-BGU.

Visitors perfect record set to continue on Saturday

Despite this excellent start, the visitors are still on the wrong side of the bookie’s odds on Saturday. They are unbeaten in eight league matches now and have only lost one of their last six away from home. Meanwhile, Torpedo Zhodino have only won three of their last 10 top flight matches and five of their last 10 at home, so backing Energetik win or draw double chance is an attractive option.

The underdogs definitely have it in them to continue their winning streak as well. They have won six of their last seven league games, including three of their last five on the road. They have averaged 2.4 goals per game in this seven match stretch, and with Torpedo scoring in each of their last 11 home league games we like the look of a 2-1 correct score prediction.
