Naftan hosts FC Slonim in round 4 of Belarusian Pershaya Liga. The match will be played on Sunday, May 10th at Atlant Stadium (Novopolotsk)
Naftan paid excessively for participating in fixed matches - the team started the current championship with an indicator of -15 in the “points” column. Of course, the management of today's hosts spoke out that the task remains the same - Naftan should get into the Premier League. But everyone understands that it’s simply impossible to win back the backlog of 15 points. The team conducts the start of the current championship quite interestingly - in all three first rounds, the team earned a point by playing a draw three times. But now there is a real chance to earn three points, because Slonim, which is not among the top teams, is going to visit. Last season, Naftan lacked only 9 points to promote in class, but the team would not have got into the elite. It is clear that the main task of the current championship is to maintain a residence permit in the First League, so the team needs to score maximum points in matches with rivals like Slonim.

It’s hard to call the visitors a powerful team - in the last three seasons, the team had the 7th position as its best result. In the first three rounds, the team managed to score four points, but Slonim's real face was revealed in the last round - the team lost to Lida away (0-3). And it’s hard to call Orsha and Volna the teams from the category “top”. It seems to me that the visitors have no real chance of success in the upcoming match since Naftan is a much more powerful and stable team.
I am sure that it is worth betting on the home team. Naftan does not look very confident at the start of the current championship (three draws), but the favorite surely plans to score three points in the match with Slonim. The visitors do not shine with special stability, so I’ll bet on Naftan’s victory with a -1 handicap.
Prediction for the match: Naftan to win with -1.0 handicap
