Naftan Novopolotsk are hoping to win again after their last result, a 0-2 Premier League victory vs Molodechno.
It’s been a rare occasion in recent games that Naftan Novopolotsk have kept a clean sheet. The reality is that Naftan Novopolotsk have seen their defence breached in 5 of their previous 6 matches, leaking 11 goals in the process.
Torpedo-BelAZ will come into the encounter after a 0-1 Premier League win with the downing of Smorgon in their previous outing.
The only scorer from Torpedo-BelAZ was Pavel Sedko (60').
Over the course of 5 of the past six games featuring Torpedo-BelAZ, a comparatively low number of goals have been struck between them and opposing teams. The overall average goals scored per game in that spell comes out as a meagre 1, with the average goals for Torpedo equalling 0.67. That trend won’t necessarily be carried forward into this next game, of course.
The last league meeting featuring these clubs was Premier League match day 23 on 29/09/2024 when the final score was Naftan Novopolotsk 1-1 Torpedo-BelAZ.
We envisage that Naftan Novopolotsk are capable enough to score against this Torpedo-BelAZ side, but a single goal is unlikely to be as many as the goals that they could concede.
Therefore, we’re predicting a close game with a 1-2 victory for Torpedo-BelAZ when the referee blows the final whistle. It really should be an interesting one.
