BATE take on the visitors Energetik-BGU in the round 13 match of Belarusian Vysshaya Liga. The match will be played on Sunday, July 3nd at Borisov Arena (Barysaw).
BATE got off to a good start this season. They won the Belarusian Super Cup at the very beginning of the year against the champion, Shakhtar Soligorsk. Yes, and in the championship was a strong start. They let the fans talk about the return of the title. The last time the "loaves", which previously dominated the country's football, took the "gold" already in 2018. Already in May, there were away draws in the championship with Dynamo Minsk and Torpedo-BelAZ. And after a break for the games of the national teams, the favorite frankly failed. First, the wards of Alexander Mikhailov managed to concede 0-1 to Isloch at home. Last Saturday there was only a goalless draw on the Neman field. It cost leadership in the current standings. Of course, the situation is not hopeless, but you need to quickly recover. Judging by the results of the game against Slutsk, it worked out. The opponent was scored 4 unanswered goals.

Energetik-BGU represent the capital, and was far from the first and definitely not the most popular representative of Minsk. After the first rise to the top league, for a couple of years, there was a protracted fall, up to the 3rd division of the country. Returning to the elite, at first the "students" limited themselves to ensuring that they did not get "departed". In the last draw, there was a 13th final place takenl. And now it turns out to meet the second month of summer in the lead! Bobur Abdikholikov perfectly settled down in Belarus. Uzbek with a huge margin leads the list of scorers. Including thanks to his excellent performance, the team produces sensational results. Thanks to a series of victories, they managed to reach the 1st place in the standings. Most recent league match ended with 1-1 draw against the newcomer of the league, Dnipro-Mogilev.
Quite unexpectedly, Energetik-BGU has good statistics in head-to-head with the grandee. In 2020, the Minsk club won both meetings. And last season, BATE won minimally at home, after which everything ended 1-1 in the capital. Bookmakers do not expect intrigue from this couple. BATE is stronger and should succeed at home.
Prediction for the match: BATE to win.
