We are backing the home win
When: Sunday 26th April 2020, Kick-off 2 PM
Where: The Stadyen Tarpeda
On Sunday afternoon, Torpedo Zhodino host Ruh Brest at the Stadyen Tarpeda, as the home side look to keep in touch with the teams at the top of the Belarus Premier League.
Torpedo Zhodino
The home side has made a solid start to their league campaign this season. Torpedo have picked up ten points from a possible 15 having won three of their five matches.
Last time out, the home side drew 0-0 at BATE Borisov. The result saw Torpedo keep a fourth clean sheet in their last five league outings. It also means that all five of their games in Premier League this season have produced under 2.5 goals.
The home side has won their last two league matches, but have a slightly inconsistent recent home record, winning three and losing two of their last five league matches on home soil. They have also kept clean sheets in three of their last four home matches in the Belarus top-flight. Torpedo have also failed to score in just one of their last 18 home matches in the league.
Ruh Brest
The visitors are not making a terrible start to life in the Belarus Premier League, as they have picked up seven points in their opening five league outings. They kicked off their campaign with a 1-0 win at Dinamo Minsk which was followed by a three-game winless run, including defeats against Energetik and BATE Borisov.
However, they head into this clash on the back of a two-game unbeaten run after a 0-0 draw at Slavia Mozyr before a 1-0 victory over FC Minsk last time out in the league.
The visitors away results have been highly inconsistent since their promotion to the Premier League. In fact, as previously mentioned they have won at Dinamo Minsk, suffered a defeat at BATE Borisov and produced a goalless draw at Slavia in their last away game in the top-flight. Ruh Brest will be looking to score only their second away goal in the top-flight of Belarussian football.
Not only have all their away games in the Premier League this season produced under 2.5 goals but seven of their last nine competitive away matches have also produced under 2.5 goals.
Conclusion
Torpedo are relatively strong on home soil, while Ruh Brest have made an inconsistent start away from home. We are backing a tight home victory, in a low-scoring encounter, so we are also backing the under 2.5 goals scored too.
Verdict: We are backing the home win at odds of 10/11 and under 2.5 goals scored at odds of 2/5. (All odds are taken from Bet365).
