How it turned out
We projected about 3.3 goals; the game finished with 1. We made Dinamo Minsk to win 80%. It lost.
What we said beforehand
The numbers show Dinamo Minsk as the clear favourite. They are expected to score about 2.6 goals while Baranovichi only 0.7. That gap makes Dinamo the stronger side, but the total of 3.3 goals suggests there will still be chances at both ends. So we can expect an open game with both teams looking to create opportunities.
Dinamo Minsk have not been consistent at home or away lately, winning two of their last five league games and losing three. Baranovichi’s recent form isn’t listed, so we can only rely on the goal expectations. The contrast between Dinamo’s higher scoring average and Baranovichi’s low one points to a pattern where Dinamo should dominate the scoring chances.
Our pick is Dinamo Minsk to win. We think they have about an 81 % chance of coming out on top. The price on offer is 1.30, which is longer than what we feel the game is worth, making it a good selection for us. Backing Dinamo to win looks the cleaner play compared with looking for a bigger price elsewhere.
For the pick to go wrong, Baranovichi would need to score early and hold on, or Dinamo would have to miss several clear chances. A surprise defensive lapse from Dinamo could also swing the result. Even with those possibilities, we still feel strongly that Dinamo will win, and we are comfortable with the risk.
