The Premier League season is still fresh and sports bettors should be cautious. This meeting between Minsk and BATE promises to be an interesting one.

It’s a hectic schedule for the away team, as they were in action only four days ago in the Belarusian Cup. That game, against Slavia, was also an away game. It's a tiring schedule for BATE.

BATE play their home games on grass, while this game is played on artifical turf. Recent stats for BATE when playing on artifical turf are 6 wins, 1 draw and 3 defeats from ten matches. They have scored 18 goals and conceded 14 times in these games.

BATE form and stats

It's not happening yet for BATE on their Premier League travels, with zero points from their first 2 away games. Maybe today will be different? BATE seem to be suffering from homesickness with two consecutive losses away. Third time lucky?

It might be tough going out on the road again for BATE, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 0-1 versus Slavia (placed 7th). A home win before that, celebrating 1-0 vs Ruh Brest.

2 goals so far away for BATE, while their defence has allowed the opposition to score 5. All from 2 league matches away.

Head 2 Head

H2H stats regardless of arena (last ten matches): Minsk two wins, zero draws and BATE eight victories. As for goals, four matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), six games had two or less.
