FC Gomel didn’t impress in their recent three fights in July: the side had been broken by Dinamo Brest with 0:3 scoreline in the Vysshaya Liga, then it knocked out FC Minsk with great difficulties only by penalty shoot-outs in the Belarusian Cup and finally another loss to the same Dinamo Brest with 1:2 scoreline. FC Gomel are a mid-table performer of the Belarusian elite division: the club picked up 22 points with 17 goals for and 12 goals against in 15 matches enabling the side to sit on the eighth place in the standings. In seven away encounters Vyacheslav Geraschenko’s team recorded eight points earned, five goals for and five goals against.
BATE have not been beaten by GC Gomel since the 18th of August 2013 across nine head-to-heads in a row, having gained six victories and three draws in them. The last season’s champion is thinking only about the Eurocups now, therefore, I don’t exclude that the head-coach will use rotation squad in the forthcoming battle. This would make the teams’ chances equal in Saturday fight, consequently one shouldn’t expect many goals scored in it.
Prediction for the match: Under 2.5 scored goals.
