FC Minsk vs Naftan tips and predictions

Things won't be straightforward for FC Minsk

Any outcome looks possible here and the feeling is they'll battle to a draw.

It has not been easy to isolate the key data in this match-up but given the hosts' recent defensive record on their own patch, the draw is the recommendation. Having created something of a fortress at home, FC Minsk have conceded at an average of just 0.8 goals per game over their last 13 matches.

In previous matches in this head-to-head, 4 of the last 9 have ended in a draw.

Don't be surprised if the two sides cancel each other out in a war of attrition. In which case the BTTS No bet seems like a decent side bet. And in the total goals line, it's under 1.5 goals for this one after weighing up the chances of all outcomes.

FC Minsk have drawn 6 of their last 18 matches on their own soil and Naftan have drawn 6 of their last 13 matches. Their most recent tied match was when they drew with Smorgon last Sunday. It's not a very exciting prediction and it feels like a match to be circumspect about. A deadlock awaits after what looks set to be a low-scoring affair.
