BATE form and stats

BATE have been very solid at home in the Vysshaya Liga so far, with 31 points collected from 12 matches (10-1-1). This has contributed greatly to their 2nd position in the table.

BATE enjoyed a nice away win last time out, playing at Smorgon's place. The match ended 3-1 with Jakov Filipović and Pavel Nekhajchik scoring.

A 1-1 draw away before that, with Ynergetyk-BDU the opponent.

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how BATE have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found three matches with the results: Won two, drawn one and lost zero.

With an average of more than two goals per home game in the league (26 in 12 games), BATE's attacking play is working. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 3 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. From these home matches, BATE have conceded only 10 goals.
