Minsk, Baranovichi and Brest will host the first matches of the 25th round of the Belarusian Football Championship

Today, October 17, the 25th round of the national championship in the major league starts with three matches. “Isloch” from the Minsk district will fight with “Minsk”, the players of “Baranovich” will take “Vitebsk”, and Brest “Dynamo” will meet with “Gomel”, reports sb.by.

The St. Petersburg team won only one of the last four fights (two draws, one defeat), because of which they lost their leadership in the table. But Isoch is still in the top three and has the potential to compete for gold. In the game with “Minsk” “wolves”, of course, expect to replenish the point piggy bank with three points. However, the team of Artem Chelyadinsky is also a strong nut. So an interesting match for fans is guaranteed.

Vitebsk is not inferior to anyone in the national championship for three meetings in a row (one victory, two draws) and will try to extend the series in Baranovichi. But to underestimate the squad of Roman Kirenkin in any case can not. During the tournament, she took points, for example, from Brest and Minsk Dynamo. And in general, it is obvious that the team from Baranovichi settled in the major league.

Brest “Dynamo” won the last four matches, thus again forcing to perceive themselves as one of the contenders for the finish in the medal zone. Gomel’s ambitions, however, also extend far. And therefore, the evening duel between squads from regional cities, located not far from each other in the table, will probably turn out very persistent. Predicting its outcome is an asterisk task.

Tomorrow, October 18, the matches “Dnepr” (Mogilev) – BATE (Borisov), “ML Vitebsk” – “Neman” (Grodno) will be held. And the day after tomorrow, October 19, the program of the 25th round will close with duels "Belshina" (Bobruisk) - "Slavia" (Mozyr), "Torpedo-BelAZ" (Zhodino) - "Naftan" (Novopolotsk), "Dynamo" (Minsk) - "Arsenal" (Dzerzhinsk).

The tournament table of the Belarusian football championship in the major league is headed by ML Vitebsk, which has 50 points. Then sequentially go Minsk “Dynamo” (49), “Isloch” (46), “Neman” (43), Brest “Dynamo” (43), “Gomel” (39), “Vitebsk” (37), “Minsk” (34), “Torpedo-BelAZ” (30), “Slavia” (25), “Baranovichi” (25), “Arsenal” (23), BATE (21), “Belshina” (21), “Naftan” (17) and “Dnepr” (16).

In the list of scorers, Gomel striker Timofey Simanenka leads, who distinguished himself 11 times. In second place is the forward of Brest “Dynamo” Egor Kortsov, who scored in the current championship 10 goals.

On October 9, a truly absurd and tense situation developed in Russian sports. On the one hand, the international federations are lifting discriminatory restrictions one by one. On the other hand, host countries are finding ways to keep our athletes out of competitions using a banal bureaucracy. A good example is the Russian gymnastics team, which right now risks losing its chance at the Olympic Games in Los Angeles.
