MTZ-RIPO Minsk vs BATE Borisov
FreeApologies for the late update guys – technical issues beyond my control, I’m afraid!
Today’s featured game in the Vysshaya Liga is between heavyweights MTZ-RIPO Minsk and BATE Borisov. The hosts have had a meager start to this campaign with a haphazard form reading of four wins, two draws and four defeats. Unsurprisingly with this form, they find themselves mid-table. To confuse matters further, the hosts don’t have a particular tendency as to when they win as their home and away record differ very little. However, they entertain what is easily the best side in the country. BATE Borisov boast an impressive eight wins from ten games, losing and drawing the other two games. Even more impressively, BATE Borisov boast a 100% away record of wins so this clash suddenly becomes very interesting. MTZ-RIPO Minsk are capable of springing a surprise here but I can’t see it today – the visitors are just too dangerous currently. An away win at 10/11 definitely looks a bargain here!
Saturday’s Picks
My tips:
MTZ-RIPO Minsk vs BATE Borisov – away win at 10/11 – see introduction for full details
Atletico Paranaense vs Corinthians – away win. The visitors are in fantastic form and sides are beginning to fear playing against them again. Lowly Atletico Paranaense find themselves bottom of the table despite having won and drawn each of their last two games respectively. Although Brazil atypically isn’t an “away win” type of country, you have to fancy the away win here because the quality of Corinthians can easily deal with relegation battlers Atletico Paranaense.
TPS Turku vs MyPa Anjalankoski – home win at 4/5. Both of these sides are fairly evenly matched so I have to point out that this is possibly one of my riskier tips of the day. TPS Turku are flying at the moment and are unbeaten in five games, boasting four victories and a draw in that time. MyPa Anjalankoski seem set to endure yet another disappointing campaign as they cannot seem to gather any kind of consistent form together. The hosts aren’t great at home – two wins and three draws from five games – and the visitors aren’t great away from home – one win, two draws and two defeats from five games – so a draw is a possibility. However, a home win is rather tempting from a general form perspective and this is certainly worth a flutter.
Gombak United vs Home United – home win at 10/11. I couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw odds of 10/11 for this game. League leaders Gombak United are flying this season and find themselves top of the table. The Singaporean giants boast the best home record in the division with six wins and a draw from their home encounters this season. They’re entertaining Home United, a side with two wins and five defeats to show from their seven away games this season. Every single factor from this game points to a home win so I’m baffled but happy that the bookies have decided it’s Christmas time and have given us odds of 10/11 here!
KamAZ Nab Chelny vs Ural Sverdlovskaya Oblast – home win at evens. Both of these sides are flying high so far this campaign but as you’d expect, both sides are stronger at home rather than away. KamAZ Nab Chelny are buoyant following a victory over promotion rivals Sibir Novosibirsk last match and will look to obtain another victory here today. Ural Sverdlovskaya Oblast travel here with a record of two wins, three draws and three defeats from their away games this season. They’ve also only managed one win in their past five games compared to KamAZ Nab Chelny’s home form of three wins and a draw from their past five games. For the above reasons, evens looks like a good bet for this game.
