1.90Tip and bets
Minsk has recently gained excellent form and is seriously intending to avoid play-off matches. The team has not lost for three matches in a row and is quite capable of extending the series, considering that Naftan is currently having an unsuccessful series. We suggest giving preference to the guests in this confrontation.
Our betting tip is a handicap (0) on Minsk for 1.83
Bet on total
The teams are direct competitors in the fight for survival and will certainly try to play reliably in defense first of all. In none of the last six face-to-face matches were more than two goals scored. We think that now the opponents will not break this bar.
Our prediction is total under 2.5 goals with odds of 1.70
Bet on the first half
The head-to-head match should be very important for the rivals in the fight for survival, so it is unlikely that the opponents will take many risks in the first half. Most likely, the teams will first take a closer look at each other, so the main events will probably happen after the break.
Our prediction is a draw in the first half with odds of 2.07
