Our tipster was on the money last week, tipping a valuable 9/1 treble. Let’s see what he has for us this week.
Friday 29 June
FC Luch Minsk 9/2
Draw 5/1
BATE Borisov 2/9
(17:45)
Luch Minsk have won only twice this season and are currently winless in their last seven matches, suffering four consecutive defeats. BATE will look to return to winning ways after being held to a goalless draw at home to Shakhtyor Soligorsk last time out. Borisov have won five of their six matches played on the road this season. Back BATE on the (-1) Handicap at 11/20.
Smolevichy 28/10
Draw 22/10
Neman Grodno 19/20
(15:45)
Smolevichy are riding on a two-game winning streak and that good run has seen them move away from the relegation zone. Neman Grodno have lost two of their last three matches. Prior to that, they had won four in a row. Back Both Teams to Score at 29/20.
Saturday 30 June
Isloch 12/10
Draw 23/10
FK Slutsk 21/10
(17:45)
Saturday fixtures kick-off with a mid-table clash between ninth-placed Isloch, who are yet to win at home against a top half team this season, and Slutsk, who have been impressive on the road, winning four of their eight matches. Take the Away/Draw Double Chance at 6/10.
Torpedo Zhodino 1/5
Draw 5/1
FC Torpedo Minsk 11/1
(17:45)
Torpedo Zhodino are the only team with a perfect record at home this season, winning all of their matches played on home soil, conceding just one goal in the process. Minsk, on the other hand, have won just one game on the road, conceding 13 times. Take Torpedo on the (-1) Handicap at 11/20.
Neman Grodno 9/20
Draw 29/10
FC Minsk 6/1
(19:45)
Neman Grodno have weirdly earned more points on the road than they have at home. Grodno have picked up eight points at home, which is half of what they have on the road. However, Minsk are not so good travellers themselves – failing to register a win in each of their last five matches on the road. Get on Neman Grodno to end the home curse at 9/20.
Sunday 1 July
FK Gorodeya 15/4
Draw 51/20
FK Vitebsk 7/10
(15:45)
Gorodeya have been horrendous, winning just one game from the 13 matches played. They welcome third-placed Vitebsk who are unbeaten in their last six matches, winning five of those. This should be an easy one, get on Vitebsk at a valuable 7/10.
Dinamo Minsk 9/20
Draw 29/10
Dnepr Mogilev 6/1
(17:45)
Second-placed Dinamo Minsk have lost just once in 13 matches – the good run of form has seen them close the gap to four points at the top. Dnepr Mogilev are winless in their last 11 matches, including four consecutive defeats. Back Dinamo at 9/20.
Shakhtyor Soligorsk 1/4
Draw 4/1
Smolevichy 19/2
(19:45)
Shakhtyor Soligorsk kept their unbeaten record intact when they held table-toppers BATE Borisov to a goalless draw last week. Prior to that, Soligorsk had won five matches on the bounce. Smolevichy, on the hand, have struggled on the road, recording just one win in seven matches. With very little value on Soligorsk, back Over 2.5 Goals at 9/20.
