Dynamo Brest hosts Rukh Brest in round 15 of Belarusian Vysshaya Liga. The match will be played on Saturday, July 3rd at Regional Sport Complex Brestskiy (Brest)
Dynamo Brest is in 7th position in the standings (20 points after 14 rounds). The White-and-Blues gained four victories and eight draws and suffered two defeats. Before the start of the season, sponsor Alexander Zaitsev left Dynamo Brest. He moved to Rukh and took with him most of the Dynamo players. However, the White-and-Blues managed to gather a combat-ready and unyielding team. Its main trump card is the defense: Dynamo Brest is in second place in the league in terms of the number of goals conceded (nine). However, Dynamo lacks stability, so the club ends the first round of the Belarusian championship with a 5-match streak without victories, which has been going on for a month and a half. After two consecutive defeats to FC Minsk (1-0) and Energetik-BGU (0-1), Kovalchuk's men tied three times against Isloch (1-1), Smorgon (2-2) and Shakhtyor Soligorsk (1-1).

Rukh Brest is in third place in the Belarusian championship standings (28 points after 14 rounds). The club from Brest chalked up eight wins, four draws, and two defeats. The new project of businessman Alexander Zaitsev looks much stronger compared to last season, when the Premier League debutant was in the middle of the standings. Now Rukh retains its place in the top three, lagging behind only two main clubs of Belarus, Shakhtyor Soligorsk and BATE. The conquest of positions in the European Cup zone happened thanks to a powerful unbeaten run of six rounds in a row, in which Alshevsky's men gained five victories and one draw. In the last match, held on June 27 in Brest, Rukh defeated Slutsk due to a goal from Denis Laptev (1-0). It turned out to be the 6th consecutive home victory for the team in the championship.
Compared to last season, when Dynamo surpassed Rukh in terms of squad level, the situation has changed. Now the former farm club of the White-and-Blues seems to be the favorite of the match due to the advantage in the players' class and poor statistics of Dynamo in home games (one win and four draws in six matches). Dynamo now concedes a little, but Rukh Brest are also strong in defense in recent matches. The team has kept a clean sheet in five consecutive rounds. Dynamo played with Under 2.5 goals scored in 12 out of 14 games in the Premier League, while Rukh had this outcome repeated in four out of five last rounds. We think that the upcoming derby won’t please the fans with an abundance of goals scored.
Prediction for the match: Under 2.5 goals scored
