Percentage accents. “ML Vitebsk”, “Isloch” and Minsk “Dynamo” think for three

The statistical portal Football Meets Data presented a schedule for assessing the chances of the three strongest teams to win the championship after the 27th round. On November 7, they won synchronous victories – “ML Vitebsk” defeated “Naftan” (5: 0), “Isloch” not without difficulty coped with “Belshina” (3: 2), and the Minsk “Dynamo” defeated “Vitebsk” (1: 0). According to European statistics, now the chances of "ML Vitebsk" to win the championship are estimated at 59 percent, "Islochi" - 22, Minsk "Dynamo" - 19 percent. "One of the most intense championship races in Europe is approaching its peak," Football Meets Data's Instagram account said, adding to the picture.

"Belshina" and "Exfoliate." Will football players be able to refute the statistics? Photo Pressball.by Winners identified. The next round of the championship recorded the obvious - the three winners. Even if Dynamo won Brest against Minsk (and the southerners were only allowed to play two goals), his lag behind ML, Isochi and Dynamo Minsk would still be unattainable. And the draw of the Brest residents except that allowed demonstrating amazing strong-willed qualities "Neman" (in this round, the Grodno residents won the sixth match of the championship, in which they lost in the course!) to keep alive their claims to potentially European Cup fourth place.

But the newcomers are already in the first league. Even two wins in the remaining two fights will not help Naftan to retain a place in the top division, and it seems, for good. The Novopolotsk club has not managed to neutralize big problems in its development with the help of massive summer purchases of second-rate players. The team lost the last three matches with a total difference of 0:14, and such a peak is at least sad, if not sad.

In the first league, by the way, the struggle of the leaders is no less tense than in the highest. After 32 matches, Slutsk and Lida scored 69 points, just one point behind them is Niva from Dolbizno. For two rounds before the end of the championship, he also did not lose chances to increase SKA-1938 (63 points). The straight and curved charts presented by Football Meets Data remind us that the fight for victory in the championship escalated around mid-September, when Dynamo Minsk lost a couple of times, and ML Vitebsk drew three consecutive matches. Then the Vitebsk people parted with Philip Sokolinsky and made a bet on Juan Diaz, in which they won all the fights, except for one: on a scandalously bad field and with scandalous judging in the match with Isochya. That victory, by the way, returned the team from the Minsk district to the pool of applicants for the highest awards.

I would like to argue with the European statistics. Their percentage on the results of the championship slightly takes into account the calendar of the remaining matches. Minsk “Dynamo” here is clearly more fortunate than others – matches with “Minsk” (at home) and “Naftan” (at a party) promise much less problems than the fights “ML” (with “Slavia” at home and away with “Belshina”) and “Islochi” (with “Torpedo-BELAZ” at home and away with BATE). In addition, it is easy to assume that in the last round of fights in Bobruisk and Borisov, the fight will be fought not only for medals, but also for existence (for the hosts, of course). I don't know what's more important.
