Rukh Brest hosts FC Minsk in round 5 of Belarusian Vysshaya Liga. The match will be played on Saturday, April 18th at Stadyen DASK Brestski (Brest)
Rukh is a newcomer to the Premier League of Belarus. The squad from beautiful Brest has deserved its place - today's hosts defeated Dnyapro in the penalty shootout. In general, Rukh should be given credit - the team recovered only in 2016, and now it plays in the Premier League of Belarus. As for the First League, Rukh played excellently in its arena - the team lost only two out of 14 home games. The start of the current season turned out to be very good for the hosts - Rukh beat Dynamo Minsk, created enormous difficulties for powerful Energetik and BATE and gained a draw in a meeting with Slavia, which started the season very well. I think that the hosts will manage to gain a positive result again.

Minsk, just like its upcoming rival, showed a good start - the team managed to alternately beat Belshina and Dynamo Minsk in the first two rounds, but the last two meetings ended without points scored - the matches with BATE and Energetik were lost with a total score of 0:5. According to the results of the previous championship, Minsk became only the 10th team in the Belarusian Premier League standings, having outranked the relegation zone by only six points. Such a result is justified since the team showed a very weak game on the road – FC Minsk could win in only one out of 15 away matches. I think that it will be very difficult to win the upcoming game either.
It seems to me that it is worth betting on the home team. Rukh is a newcomer, but the team from Brest has already proved to everyone that it is ready for a high level of the game. But there are questions to Minsk - the team failed last season, and the start of this one is not the most successful. I’ll bet that Rukh will manage not to lose.
Prediction for the match: Rukh Brest to win with +0.5 handicap
