While the world tunes in for the World Cup, the Belarusian top flight refuses to take a break and rolls on with the eleventh round of matches this week. Isloch finds itself in mid table, sitting just two points off third spot, and with only two sides running away at the top, plenty of clubs still fancy their chances of snatching bronze before the season ends.
Team Form
Isloch has found some rhythm in May after brushing aside Neman and Vitebsk while also grabbing a point on the road at Minsk, and they have managed just one loss in their last seven outings overall. Naftan on the other hand sit rock bottom without a single win in ten games and look poor in almost every key area of the pitch.
- Isloch last seven games: one defeat only
- Naftan ten game run: zero wins and heavy defeats before the break
Tactical Analysis
At home Isloch should boss proceedings against the league strugglers, using their solid defence and quick attacks to stretch a side that always concedes heavily away from home. Naftan have shipped at least two goals in each of their last four road games, and nothing suggests they can change that pattern here.
- Naftan away record: four straight losses with multiple goals conceded
- Isloch strengths: clean sheets and strong home results
- Weaknesses for visitors: lack of goals and poor organisation
Betting Proposal
This looks like a game where the hosts will take control early and push for a big margin before the final whistle.
Back Isloch to win by two goals or more on the -1.5 handicap at 1.80
