Last season Isloch Minsk finished at the seventh position in the table of the Vysshaya Liga. However, the team took poor start in 2017. Isloch Minsk broke their five-clash run of defeats in a row and picked up their first points in the season after 3:1 triumph over Dinamo Brest in last round. At the moment the team has -4 points gained with 4-9 goal difference because of sanctions applied by the Belarus Football Association. As a result, Isloch Minsk occupy the 15th place in the table as Naftan have the same -4 points, but with worst goal difference.
BATE and Isloch Minsk met three times in their history with all three head-to-heads won by the hosts of the upcoming battle with 11:4 aggregated score. I believe that the defending champion will not face any difficulties in taking another victory at the home ground as well.
Prediction for the match: BATE to win with -1.5 Asian handicap.
