Digging into past games, it’s a mixed bag. FC Molodechno’s had the advantage lately, but footy’s got a terrible memory.
My two cents: Each sides’ve got issues. FC Molodechno’s engine room’s stuttering, while FC BATE Borisov’s frontline lacks a killer instinct.
Across the Higher League, this game carries added significance. The division’s fight for top spots means every result counts, and both sides know a statement win here could alter trajectories in the standings.

If you’re playing this one, here’s the no-bull take.
FC Molodechno at 8 to win feels slightly short given their inconsistencies in the Higher League this term. Their xG (expected goals) suggest they’re due a regression — analytics guys would fade them.
FC BATE Borisov’s 1.49 odds tempts, especially if their center forward (CF) shakes off his cold streak.
The wise guys’ll likely poke at the Draw 4.1 — these derbies often play out tight, and occasion can kill attacking flow.
