There are three matches to look forward to in the Belarus Premier League on Saturday. One of which takes place at the RCOP-BGU Stadium as Energetik-BGU entertain Dinamo Brest. Both teams are situated in the top six of the league as Energetik-BGU are in 4th place on 15 points while Dinamo Brest are in 6th place on 13 points.
Energetik-BGU come into the match having secured an excellent 2-1 victory at current league leaders Slutsk last weekend. They scored two goals in the first half, both of which came from the penalty spot and despite conceding just before half time Energetik-BGU held on to take maximum points.
That was their second victory in succession following another away win, this time at Smolevichy-STI. Both results have seen a return to form for Energetik-BGU having previously lost 3 games in a row. One of those defeats came at home against Gorodeya, with the other two being away losses.
Trend show Energetik-BGU have won 4 of their last 5 home matches in the Belarus Premier League and have not been beaten in 6 of their 7 most recent home league games. Energetik-BGU have won by 2 or more goals 3 of their last 5 home Belarus Premier League matches and have scored 2 or more goals in 6 of their last 7 on home soil.
Dinamo Brest picked up their fourth win of the campaign as they defeated Dinamo Minsk 2-1 at home last weekend. They opened the scoring early in the match only to concede an equaliser after 24 minutes. However, it didn't take long for Dinamo Brest to score the winning goal in the second half as Denis Laptev found the back of the net in the 51st minute to seal maximum points.
That was their second league victory in succession following the comprehensive 3-0 victory at Belshina. The opposition may be struggling at the bottom of the table but Dinamo Brest make no mistake as they scored 3 goals inside 61 minutes.
Much like their hosts this weekend, Dinamo Brest suffered a dip in form prior to their 2 recent victories. They went 3 games without picking up a win as Dinamo Brest lost at Vitebsk in the league and Shakhtyor in the cup. They also tasted a 3-0 loss against Shakhtyor at home in the league.
Trends show Dinamo Brest have won 9 of their last 11 away matches in Premier League and have lost only 4 of their last 38 most recent matches in the competition.
Team news and Energetik-BGU will be counting on striker Jasurbek Yaxshiboev to score their goals. The Uzbek under-23 international has 6 goals to his name in all competitions this season.
Dinamo Brest do not have a single player who has scored more than 2 goals this season. However, only three teams have scored more goals than them in the league and Dinamo Brest have a goal threat from many positions, including defender Gaby Kiki.
It is unlikely either team are going to keep a clean sheet in this game so we should see both teams scoring. However, the defending champions have been excellent away from home in recent games and could come away with the victory.
