Torpedo BelAZ form and stats

As mentioned below, Torpedo BelAZ are feasting on a winning streak here so far with maximum points from their first 2 Vysshaya Liga games.

Torpedo BelAZ are confident in defense, having played 227 minutes without conceding a goal in the league.

Torpedo BelAZ drew their last game, 0-0 away at BATE (placed 10th). Before that, Torpedo had a home game versus Ynergetyk-BDU which ended with a victory 2-0.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent.

Ruh Brest form and stats

Things could have gone better for Ruh Brest in their Vysshaya Liga away matches, but 4 points from 3 games is all right.

263 minutes! That's how long the Brest goalkeeper Aleksandr Nechaev and his defense have shut out their league opponents.

Brest are travelling after their nice 1-0 home win in the Vysshaya Liga against Minsk (placed 7th). Before that, Brest travelled to Slavia and returned home with a draw after the game finished 0-0.

We have checked recent matches where Brest have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those three games were one victory, two draws and zero defeats.

There's been a serious shortage of goals from Ruh Brest's away games in the league this season with only 1 goal from 3 matches. Brest's manager A. Sednev has created a great defensive setup working very nicely in away games with only 1 conceded goal. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.
