Its finally here, it’s what the footballing world has been waiting for, that’s right, Match Day 9 from the Belarusian Premier League.
Well o.k, maybe for most its the return of the Bundasliga and the first major footballing league but I certainly won’t be abandoning Belarus. It’s been a terrific league to back, especially on the card and corner markets and we’re starting to get a real feel for the league, the data, the teams and the players.
This week we recorded our 5th Belarusian episode of the Gambla Betting Podcast as we again get stuck into the card and corner opportunities – well worth a listen
Having been void of major league football for over two months, I completely understand the delight at the return of the Bundesliga , both from a live football and betting perspective but I would advise caution on anyone betting on the first week back.
It’s behind closed doors, there has been a two month lay off so essentially it’s like a new season – whilst the data and stats from earlier in the year will give you some sort of guide, it should definitely be small stakes.
We have 6 matches remaining from Match day 9 in Belarus and I’ve have selections from 4 of them, two on Saturday and 2 on Sunday. We’ve discussed all 4 games in detail in terms of the stats and the betting angle on this weeks Gambla Betting Podcast and I’ve pulled together a summary below
Energetik vs Dinamo Brest (Saturday – KO 1pm)
- Brest Avg 7.6 team corners per game – hitting 8/7/5/12/5/12/6/6 in their 8 league game
- Avg 13.4 match corners per game – 13/14/13/16/11/16/12/12 – All 8 games delivering 11+ corners (12+ 7/8)
- Brest concede a high volume of corners – 5/7/8/4/6/4/6/6 avg 5.8 per game conceding 4+ in all 8 games
- Energetik hitting 5.0 corners per game, conceding 6.3
Hard to oppose corners here given Brest’s record this season and the fact they concede plenty
BATE Borisov vs FC Slutsk (Saturday – KO 5pm)
- Slutsk have hit 23 yellow cards and 3 red cards already this season
- Avg 4 cards per game having hit 3/4/2/3/6/4/5/1 – 3+ cards in 6 of their 8 games
Slutsk Away to a BATE side who have found their groove after a tough start. BATE have won 5 of their last 6 in all competition – Slutsk won’t have too much of the ball and look great value to pick up another 3+ cards
Belshina vs Vitebsk ( Sunday – KO 1pm)
- Belshina’s corner performances have been impressive for a team bottom of the league – hitting over 5 per game
- 3/7/7/2/1/7/6/12 – hit 5+ in 5 of their 8 games,should manage another 5 + at home against a side on the slide
- Vitebsk have one of the highest corner conceded in the league (4/7/5/7/5/4/9/7 – 6.0 per game)
- They’ve conceded 5+ in 6 of their 8 games – and don’t hit too many (hit 3 or less in 5 of their 8 games)
Belshina may be bottom but as they showed yet again last week, they aren’t far away from a first win and their corner counts have been impressive considering their lowly position. Home advantage and playing a side who concede plenty
Ruk Brest vs Smolevichi (KO 5pm Sunday)
- Smolevichi have hit an incredible 34 yellows and 1 Red – Avg a huge 4.5 cards per game (5/4/6 on the road)
- They’ve hit 5/4/2/5/6/4/6/6/4 – 7 of 8 games 4+ team cards (18 players booked this season so far)
- Ruk Brest no stranger to a card having collected 26 yellows and 3 Reds (4.0 team cards per game)
- Referee Sergey Chistov has dished out 21 yellows and 3 red cards in just 4 games (85+ pts per game)
Battle of the bad boys as two sides meet who have serious disciplinary issues. Smolevichi been terrific for cards and it’s difficult to see them not collecting at least another three here, escpailly as they have hit 4+ in 7 of their 8 games
