On Friday evening, Torpedo Zhodino have the chance to move into the European spots in the Belarus Premier League, as they host Energetik-BGU at the Stadyen Tarpeda.
The home side are enjoying a fruitful campaign so far this season, as they currently sit fourth-place in the table, just two points outside of the European berths in the top-flight. A win would move the home side into third-place.
A home victory looks like the likely result, with Forebet predicting a victory for the home side in a low-scoring game. Torpedo have won their last two league games against Vitebsk and Dinamo Minsk after two straight defeats in the top-flight.
They have built their promising campaign on good defensive foundations, as only the top two teams in the league Dinamo Brest and BATE Borisov have conceded fewer goals in the Belarus top-flight.
Torpedo may have won three of their last four home games in the top-flight, but those wins are the only home victories in nine league matches on home soil for the team from Zhodino.
Energetik are struggling to stay above the danger zone in the top-flight, as they are just two points above Gomel, who occupy the final relegation berth.
Despite their lowly position, the visitors head into this game on the back of a 2-1 win over Torpedo Minsk. The win ended a six-game winless run for the team from the capital and gives the visitors hope that their campaign can improve.
Energetik’s recent league games have at least offered good value for money when it comes to goals, as seven of their last eight matches have produced over 2.5 goals.
The visitors have struggled on their travels for points, as they have suffered four defeats in their last five away matches. Unfortunately for Energetik, the two sides recent records do not bode well for the visitor’s chances of securing a vital win.
