This Sunday, Naftan Football Club hosts BATE at their abode as they face off in the 28th round of the Belarusian Premier League. An intriguing encounter is expected as the visitors currently sit 5th on the league table, whilst the hosts are trailing at the 11th position.
The football club's performance this season has been relatively modest given that it's their championship debut. Over 26 rounds, the team managed to amass 23 points, resulting in their 11th place standing at the moment. In November, the club played a single game, bagging a victory against Slutsk with a scoreline of 2:1.
October saw the club compete in three matches, with results ending in a draw and two losses. They suffered defeat against Isloch 5:1 and Torpedo-Belaz 0:1, as well as settling for a draw against Slavia Mozyr 2:2.
The football club has not had the best run this season either. They managed to earn 38 points over 24 rounds, which has placed them 6th on the league table.
In November, the club played twice and emerged victorious in both. Wins were scored against Ostrovets 3:1 and against Dynamo Minsk 0:1.
October brought with it four matches, ending in two victories and two losses. The victories were claimed against Slutsk 4:3 and Slavia Mozyr 0:2, whilst losses came against Minsk 1:2 and Isloch 1:2.
In the history of their head-to-head confrontations, the teams have played 53 games, with BATE players taking the glory in 37 of them and Naftan securing victory in just five matches. The teams also battled to a draw in 11 games.
In this match, BATE appear as the strong favourites. Given their historical domination and current form, it might be worth the risk to place a bet on their victory in this encounter.
