BATE hosts Torpedo BelAz Zhodino in round 5 of Belarusian Vysshaya Liga. The match will be played on Saturday, April 18th at Borisov Arena (Barysaw)
After a rather vague start, the main grandee of Belarusian football finally comes to its senses - in the last two matches, BATE alternately beat Rukh and Minsk with a total score of 4:0. Now there is a great chance to get close to the leaders of the standings because BATE will play against Torpedo, which is a very convenient opponent for the hosts - five of the last six head-to-head matches ended in victories of the team from Borisov. The current championship is decisive for BATE because 2019 was a shock for all Belarusian football - BATE did not win the champion’s title for the first time in a very long period. If the team from Borisov will not manage to win in the championship for the second time in a row, we can safely talk about the decline of the main hegemon. BATE is stably powerful on its pitch, so there should be no problems with Torpedo.

It seems to me that Torpedo will have few chances in the upcoming game. In the first four rounds, the team from Zhodino managed to win three times, which allows it to lead in the standings of the Belarusian Premier League. In the course of the last championship, BelAZ did not play very confidently away - Torpedo lost seven out of 15 away games. It seems to me that the visitors will not succeed in the upcoming match because BATE is gradually recovering. Moreover, the hosts have plenty of motivation. And when BATE is motivated, it is very difficult to fight with it.
I don’t think it’s worth waiting for another misfire from the main team of all Belarusian football of the 21st century. In the last two rounds, BATE has shown that things are getting better, so Torpedo, which does not shine with an excellent away game, should become easy prey.
Prediction for the match: BATE to win
