The visiting BATE side should be favourites in this visit to Vitebsk, as the away team holds a 11 point advantage from their eleven league games this season.
Both teams have had enough rest since their last competitive action. Let's hope for an energetic game!
Vitebsk form and stats
Vitebsk have collected 8 points from their Vysshaya Liga home games so far after 2-2-1. Vitebsk are splitting points both home and away, currently holding an interesting streak of four drawn games in a row. Vitebsk have played two draws in a row on their own stadium.

A goal frenzy last time out for Vitebsk, with a total of 6 goals in the match against Ynergetyk-BDU. Fun stuff to watch!

BATE form and stats
