BATE and Belshina will sort things out in the match of the 17th round of the Belarusian championship. Will the hosts be able to consolidate the success of the last round?
BATE
At the end of the first round, BATE stalled, as a result of which he lost first place. In the final three matches, the club from Borisov did not win a single victory, gaining only two points. However, in the first game of the second round, BATE returned to the winning path, defeating Slavia Mozyr (4-0) on his field. On the eve of the 17th round, BATE has 32 points and is in the first position, one point ahead of Isloch and Energetik-BSU.
"Belshina"
Belshina broke away from the relegation zone by a decent distance, which is equal to eight points, but cannot feel comfortable, since there is still a possibility of falling into the zone of play-off matches, the gap from which is six points. In the last round, Belshina turned out to be weaker than Dnipro from Mogilev (3-4), having suffered the third defeat in a row and already the seventh this season. At the moment, Belshina ranks 12th, with 17 points.
Statistics and figures:
- BATE won in one of the last four rounds;
- Belshina lost in the previous three rounds;
- BATE won 3-0 in the first round.
Forecast
Belshina needs points to run even further away from the relegation zone, but they are unlikely to shine on her in the upcoming match, since BATE is fighting for the championship, which is important to win a second victory in a row.
