Neman is in 14th place in the Belarusian championship standings (7 points after 11 games). The men of Igor Kovalevich chalked up one victory, four draws, and six defeats. Neman is one of the main outsiders after completing a third of the championship. The Yellow-Greens are three points ahead of Smorgon and Sputnik, which are in the direct relegation zone. The situation would have been even more deplorable if it had not been for the victory over Smorgon on May 7 away 0-2). This win is still the only one for Kovalevich's team in the Premier League. After that, Neman had a 3-match streak without victories. The Yellow-Greens lost to Shakhtyor Soligorsk (1-2 at home) and Rukh Brest away (2-0), and the last round ended in a draw against another outsider, Sputnik (2-2).
BATE's chances of winning the upcoming match are high. BATE has great statistics of head-to-head meetings with Neman. Beyond that, the club from Borisov will play at home, where it has not yet lost points in the championship (seven victories in seven matches). It will be difficult for Neman, which gained only five points in five away matches, to catch hold of even a draw. It is unlikely that Grodno residents will upset BATE away. Moreover, the Yellow-Blues did not concede goals from Neman in four out of five previous games. The Yellow-Greens, which are in the top three worst teams in terms of average production per match (0.7 goals), will probably continue this unfortunate trend for themselves.
Prediction for the match: Both teams to score — no
