Smolevichi 2 hosts BATE 2 in round 8 of Belarusian Vysshaya Liga Reserve. The match will be played on Saturday, May 9th at Ozerny Stadium (Smolevichi)
Smolevichi looks quite confident at the start of the current championship - in the first seven rounds, the team managed to score 12 points, and such indicators allow the hosts to be on the seventh line in the standings of the Reserve Premier League. Smolevichi looked terrible on the home pitch and lost two of three home games, but who were in the rivals? The hosts lost to Dynamo Minsk and Shakhtyor Soligorsk, the teams that look very cool now. Now the home has a great chance to gain three points because it has to play against Borisov BATE, which is not a candidate for places at the very top of the tournament standings. I think Smolevichi will surely earn at least one point.

BATE does not look very confident at the start of the current championship - the team is on the penultimate line in the standings of the Reserve Premier League, outranking only Gorodeya, which is completely bad. The visitors have only 4 points. I cannot but note that all of these points were scored on the road, but this happened in the matches with Energetik-BGU and Gorodeya, which are very weak. If we recall the only away head-to-head match, BATE lost to Smolevichi with a 1-2 score, although the Yellow-Blues looked much better than now. I don’t think that the visitors can count on three points in the upcoming match.
It seems to me that everything is quite simple. Smolevichi loses only to very serious opponents, while BATE earns all its points in meetings with rivals that don’t have a high level. I’ll bet that the hosts will manage to score at least one point.
Prediction for the match: Smolevichi 2 to win with +0.5 handicap
