Rukh Brest hosts Slutsk in round 14 of the Belarusian Vysshaya Liga. The match will be played on Sunday, June 27th at Regional Sport Complex Brestskiy (Brest)
Rukh Brest are spending only their second year in the elite of Belarusian football. But now, when Dynamo Brest has passed to the state, it is in this club that the local oligarch, Alexander Zaitsev, is investing. The debut season brought 44 points and 8th place. Now, under the management of Kirill Alshevsky, Rukh Brest feels quite confident in the group of leaders. Only BATE and Shakhtyor Soligorsk are above, but it is difficult to compete with them. However, now Rukh has gained a good pace. It won seven victories in the last ten rounds of the championship. Yes, last Saturday the Emeralds didn’t manage to breach the defense of Vitebsk (0-0). But on Wednesday, Belshina was knocked out of the cup (3-1).

Slutsk was close to relegation in the last draw. Due to financial problems, even a strong start could not have saved, but the team managed to make a breakthrough at the end of the championship and climbed to 14th place. Having won the playoffs, Slutsk remained in the Premier League. Now the situation is almost the same, and it seems that the Blues will have to fight for survival again. But there is some progress: before a 1-4 defeat to Shakhtyor Soligorsk (and no one expected another result from the match against the unconditional leader), Slutsk managed to beat Isloch and gain a draw on the pitch of Smorgon. And on Wednesday, the Blues were able to knock out Malorita from the cup (1-2). It is obvious that now Alexander Brazevich expects that the positive emotions from the victory will help the team.
For the first time, the clubs played against each other only last season. In May, Rukh escaped defeat due to Vasiliev’s goal from the spot in the 88th minute. But in the second round, the hosts confidently won 5-0 in Brest. Rukh may not repeat the outcome of the previous head-to-head meeting. But it is obvious that the hosts will be the favorites and must confirm this status. Let's bet on the victory of Alshevsky's charges with a -1 handicap.
Prediction for the match: Rukh Brest to win with -1.0 handicap
