Torpedo BelAZBy Tunde Ogundipe — Football expert covering Premier League, MLS, J1 League, and more
This Borisov encounter brings together teams whose seasons are pointing in very different directions. The hosts are hovering close to the danger zone, while the visitors are no longer chasing a place in the upper part of the table. The key question is what will carry more weight: the pressure on BATE or the calmer, more measured game of Torpedo-BelAZ.
The recent run is grim. Across their last six matches, BATE have suffered five defeats. In the last five top-flight games alone, they lost four times and collected only three points, all of them from a win over Slavia-Mozyr. During that five-match stretch they scored three goals and were shut out in three games. BATE still keep possession and have spells of sustained attacking, but the finishing remains weak: 19 shots on target in the last five matches produced only three goals.
Home advantage has not solved the attacking problems. In their last three league games in Borisov, BATE lost twice and scored just once. Belshina and Neman kept them without a single shot on target, while against Slavia-Mozyr the hosts scored twice before halftime but then allowed the opponent to create more dangerous chances. That is a warning sign before facing an organized side that knows how to wait for a mistake and exploit open spaces.
After 27 matchdays, Torpedo-BelAZ sit eighth with 36 points, while BATE are 15th with 21. Zhodino have won ten matches to BATE’s four, and their goal difference stands at 35:35 compared with 19:34 for the Borisov side. The points gap does not guarantee success in a single match, but it does show that Torpedo-BelAZ have been the more stable team over the long distance.
The visitors can also produce results on the road. In their last five away matches in the top flight, Torpedo-BelAZ recorded two wins and three defeats, scoring four goals. Overall, they have won five of 13 away games, and in three of those five victories the opponent failed to score. Their weak spot is away defense: 23 goals conceded in 13 road matches means a fully closed-down performance is unlikely.
BATE are in must-result mode. After 27 rounds they are 15th, with three rounds still to play. The situation is not hopeless: they are two points away from 14th place, so motivation should be high. The main risk for the selected outcome is precisely that pressure. It could push Borisov to play more boldly than they have recently, and an early goal could change the whole scenario.
The visitors have the stronger season-long balance and arrive after a fresh 3:0 win over Belshina. Torpedo-BelAZ have already beaten BATE in the 2026 league campaign, while the most recent head-to-head in Borisov ended 1:0 for the hosts. A rout is therefore not required, but the guests look less dependent on a single moment and are capable of taking points even if they concede.
An outright Zhodino win is too vulnerable because of their away concessions and BATE’s high motivation. The double chance keeps the result alive if the match ends in a draw, which is plausible in an even game with few quality attacks. Prediction: Torpedo-BelAZ not to lose. Bet: double chance X2.
