BATE
Gorodeya will be looking to extend their winning run in the Belarusian Premier League to four games when they take on BATE at their Stadyen Harazdzeya on Matchday 6. Despite the fierce of coronavirus spread, games are not played behind closed doors, and, no doubt, Gorodeya supporters will surely pack the stadium. The hosts have been impressive at the back of late, keeping a clean sheet in each of their last three league fixtures, but they will have a big fish to fry against the Belarusian giants.
BATE have been struggling to live up to their expectations at the start of the season, but they have been showing signs of improvement of late. Kirill Alshevskiy’s troops, did well to roll over Minsk on the road, but they were more than unfortunate not to pick up all three points from the Torpedo game. Seeing that BATE failed to turn their dominance into goals, ten shots on target and a penalty missed, away win should be considered.
