Torpedo-BelAZ will host Smorgon as part of the 25th round of the Belarusian Championship. A confident victory for the hosts?
Torpedo-BelAZ
Torpedo-BelAZ continues to perform inconspicuously, demonstrating the same results. After 23 games, the team has 26 points, which allow it to occupy only the twelfth place. However, such a low position is not the worst thing, much more terrible is that the gap from the play-off zone is only five points, and there are still seven games ahead. Torpedo-BelAZ did not score in the last two rounds, losing 0-1 to Energetik-BSU and playing 0-0 with Isloch.
"Smorgon"
If Torpedo-BelAZ is dangerously close to the play-off zone, then Smorgon is even worse - it is already located in the zone of direct demotion in the class, occupying the penultimate 15th place. In the last three rounds, Smorgon did not score a single point, losing to BATE (1-3), NEMAN (0-5) and Dinamo Minsk (0-5). It seems that Smorgon itself no longer believes that it will be able to rise at least to the zone of transitional games, as it has been losing almost without resistance lately, conceding goals in packs.
Statistics and figures:
- Torpedo-BelAZ has one win in six extreme games;
- Smorgon lost in the previous three rounds;
- Smorgon lost to Torpedo-BelAZ in three previous matches.
Forecast
Torpedo-BelAZ performs modestly, mostly losing points, but even in this state it should not be difficult for him to beat Smorgon, which plays even worse.
