FC Minsk vs Zhodino tips and predictions

Zhodino too short in brutal Vysshaya Liga encounter

It's easy to dismiss the chances of FC Minsk but the price of the visiting team is just too short to have any involvement with.

FC Minsk will take anything they can from Zhodino's recent results. On the road the visitors have sometimes looked ill-prepared; they've lost 4 of their last 6 away assignments. This doesn't look like the recent record of a side that is such a massive favourite.

And although they are expected to dispose of FC Minsk they aren't unbeatable and a home win might be a fair play.

FC Minsk should expect extended periods of play without possession. While probably not enough to change the fate of the match, the hosts have posted some good numbers. This home team is in a bit of a run of form. They have scored two or more goals in 3 of their recent 7 home matches and that's been backed up throughout their ranks. The records show they've conceded no more than once in 15 of their last 16 home games.

Zhodino have only scored once in their last 6 away games. Matches are not won on paper though so they cannot be ruled out. If the hairdryer treatment has worked they can bounce back quickly. They are the odds-on favourites after all.

FC Minsk have won 2 of the last 4 fixtures between these sides previously. You can take it or leave it but the head-to-head stats point to another home win even though the odds will tell you otherwise.

If the betting market is to be believed, only one of these sides is fancied to score because of the ardent favouritism for Zhodino. If you think it will play out as many expect it to then the BTTS No will be for you.
