"Smorgon" - "Neman": forecast for the match of the Belarusian championship
Smorgon and Grodno Neman will play in the 29th round of the Belarusian Premier League. The visitors still have a small chance of winning the championship, but it will be extremely difficult to overtake Minsk Dynamo. The season is probably over for the hosts. The club from Smorgon managed to avoid relegation and is unlikely to rise above its current 12th place. Which of the opponents will be able to score points on November 23? The answer is in our forecast for this match.

FC Smorgon
BelarusCurrent form
Smorgon is in 12th place in the league table and has 28 points after 27 matches. The team is six ahead of Naftan from the play-off zone, so it is safe to say that the club from Smorgon will remain in the Premier League. At the same time, the club is six points behind Slavia and Arsenal, who share 10th place, but these teams have played one match more. Igor Slesarchuk team played their last matches excellently. After a series of five defeats in a row, they managed to beat Shakhtyor Soligorsk (2:0) and Arsenal Dzerzhinsk (1:0), and also draw with Slavia (0:0) and Slutsk (0:0).

Neman Grodno
BelarusCurrent form
Neman is having a great season again and even has a theoretical chance to win the championship. The team is currently in second place in the standings and is two points behind the leader, Dynamo Minsk, which has two games in reserve. In the last round, Grodno played Dynamo, a match between the two strongest teams in the championship ended in a goalless draw. Before that, the club managed to win a crushing victory over BATE (3:0), and also lost points in a match with Dynamo Brest (2:2).

Interesting trends for betting
- The visitors have not lost in eight matches in a row.
- The team has kept a clean sheet in seven of its last eight matches
Estimated line-up: Belov - Parkhomenko, Sadovnichy, Karpovich - Pantya, Kozlov, Pavlyukovets, Vasiliev - Savitsky, Gvet, Kontsevoy.
Tip and bets
The visitors have gained excellent form in the final stretch of the season and clearly do not plan to lose points in the last rounds. The Grodno club can still impose competition on Minsk Dynamo in the championship race and is not going to give up ahead of time. Smorgon has already lost its tournament motivation and is unlikely to be able to score points in the confrontation with one of the leaders of the Higher League. We believe that the Grodno team will return home with a victory.
Our forecast is Neman victory for 1.95
Bet on total
Both teams have been brilliant in defending their goals in recent matches. The hosts have not conceded in four matches in a row, while the visitors have conceded in only one of the last eight matches. Most likely, the opponents will demonstrate their defensive skills in the face-to-face match, which means that many goals should not be expected in this game.
Our prediction is total under 2.5 goals for 1.73
Bet on corners
In the last four head-to-head encounters, the teams have never had more than nine corners in a match. This time we expect a closed game, so it is unlikely that this result will be beaten.
Our prediction is under 9.5 corners for 1.75
