BATE take on the visitors Slutsk in the round 9 match of Belarusian Vysshaya Liga. The match will be played on Wednesday, June 29th at Borisov Arena (Barysaw).
BATE are by far the most famous club in Belarus, at least in this century. But now three times in a row it was not possible to win the championship. First, the "gold" went to "Dynamo Brest". Then Shakhtar Soligorsk became the best twice. And it seems that now the time has come for the "loaves" to return to their usual level. They won the Super Cup and got off to a good start in the Vysshaya Liga. True, it was not without failures. First of all, the wards of Alexander Mikhailov managed to lose the cup final. They opened the scoring, but allowed Gomel to complete a strong-willed victory 2-1. And the favorite managed to start the summer segment of the championship with the defeat of Isloch, also at home. Yes, and with a "Stanles" in the cup had certain problems. It was not possible to improve with Neman either - the favorite was limited to a goalless draw. Because of this, as a result, they rolled back, at the moment, to 3rd place - it would be necessary to respond to this with confident success.

Slutsk have their place in the middle of the division standings. They were able to withstand the blow of a difficult, primarily financially, year of 2020. Let it be through play-offs with Krumkachy, but it turned out to keep the “registration”. And last season, the White-Blues managed to rise to a fairly high, 9th place. At about the same level, in the middle of the standings, the team of Alexander Brazevich is holding up now. They practically do not lose, however, at the same time they play a lot and often draw. But points have already been shared with the leaders of this championship - Energetik-BGU in April and Dynamo Minsk in May. It turned out to start a new cycle in the cup with a victory. So Slutsk 3-1, beat "Smorgon". And last Saturday the club played with "Vitebsk", and quite unexpectedly lost with a score of 0-2. However, all the same, so far it turns out to stay in a fairly comfortable 10th place.
The last time Slutsk won a head-to-head exactly 5 years ago, in 2017. After that, all 9 matches ended with the victories of BATE. Including in the last championship, the grandee won 3-0 at home and 4-3 away. Bookmakers believe that BATE will be able to effectively respond to their failures this time. We recommend taking the option with the victory of the home team with a handicap of "-1.5 goals"
Prediction for the match: BATE to win with -1.5 handicap.
