The short Dinamo Minsk price might not stand out to readers but it's a pretty good bet to think about. If they produce even 70% of what they are capable of it will still be too much for Smorgon.

If their latest results are anything to go by, it's obvious why Dinamo Minsk are such huge favourites. The hosts have secured 11 wins in 15 matches. On a less impressive run, the visitors have been defeated in 11 of their last 15 matches home and away. Another defeat beckons for them here. There's just no reason to think this group of Smorgon players can win this game of football.

These home players are stringing together some excellent spells and they have plenty of reasons for confidence. Dinamo Minsk scored three or more goals in 5 of their recent 12 matches and their defenders have been mopping things up. They've only conceded an average of 0.6 goals across their last 15 games.

In front of goal, the visitors have been underwhelming. They've been goalless in 7 of their last 9 matches. So the hosts could be coming into this with plenty of conviction if Smorgon are going to stumble in front of goal.

The sportsbooks' prices suggest that one of these sides doesn't look likely to score in a match that plays out on Dinamo Minsk's terms. It's not a strong view but the odds-against for the Yes BTTS bet could be a fun side bet.

If you're reading this you've likely seen the recent attacking performances by the hosts already. The way they have plundered opponents of this calibre makes them prohibitive favourites against Smorgon.
