The Belarusian Premier League is one of the only leagues in world football unrestricted by the Coronavirus outbreak. With no clear timescale for the return of the Premier League, La Liga and the rest of the major leagues, who knows, we may all end up Torpedo Zhodino supporters before too long.

Smolevichy vs Dinamo Minsk | Friday April 24, 16:00 GMT
It's been 19 matches since Smolevichy have scored so much as two goals in a single Premier League match – just two goals in five games this season further underlines their problems in front of goals. Although Minsk have won two of their last three matches, they're a different beast at home, losing just eight of their last 29 games compared to a run of seven without a win on the road.
Match Odds: Smolevichy (17/5) Draw (11/5) Dinamo Minsk (10/13)
Tip: Draw (11/5)
Correct score: Smolevichy 0-0 Dinamo Minsk (6/1)
Neman Grodno vs Energetik BGU | Friday April 24, 18:00 GMT
Neman can make it six league games unbeaten at the Grodno Stadium, but that's easier said given how badly they'd started the season. With just one win, and only three goals, in five games, there's a chance the hosts could end up bottom of the table after this weekend's round of games. However, Energetik BGU have gone off the boil – following up three straight wins with two conseuctive defeats without getting on the scoresheet. Neither side is firing on all cylinders so a draw could be worth a punt here.
Match Odds: Neman Grodno (5/4) Draw (41/20) Energetik BGU (2/1)
Tip: Draw (41/20)
Correct score: Neman Grodno 1-1 Energetik BGU (21/4)
Slavia Mozyr vs FC Minsk | Saturday April 25, 13:00 GMT
A glance at the head-to-head record suggests this is a fixture which guarantees goals. In the last seven meetings between Slavia and Minsk, there have been a staggering 33 goals! With an average of 4.7 goals per game, you've got to be looking at the overs markets. 27/20 for over 2.5 could be a steal.
Match Odds: Slavia Mozyr (11/10) Draw (2/1) Dinamo Minsk (12/25)
Tip: Over 2.5 goals (27/20)
Correct score: Slavia Mozyr 3-1 FC Minsk (17/1)
Gorodeya vs BATE Borisov | Saturday April 25, 15:00 GMT
Gorodeya have scored just three goals this season but remarkably, they've managed to generate nine points with them. Coming into this game on the back of three 1-0 wins bodes ominously for BATE who have failed to impress so far this campaign.
While they themselves have kept three clean sheets in their last three games, back-to-back defeats in the opening weeks of the season has left them adrift of the early pace setters. BATE look to be back on track for now, but having squandered their 13-year hold on the league title last season, this is not a side that appears to have bounced back yet.
Match Odds: Gorodeya (23/5) Draw (13/5) BATE Borisov (13/25)
Tip: Draw
Correct score: Gorodeya 1-1 BATE Borisov (13/2)
Dinamo Brest vs Shakhytor Soligorsk | Saturday April 25, 17:00 GMT
If Dinamo Brest emerge victorious from this encounter, it'll be the 10th time lucky. They've now gone nine league games against Saturday's opponents without a win having conceded 16 goals in the process. Throw into the mix Shakytor's defiant away form – just six goals conceded in 12 league games away from home, scoring 16 themselves – it looks like more woe in store for Dinamo.
Match Odds: Dinamo Brest (26/25) Draw (11/5) Shakhtyor Soligorsk (12/5)
Tip: Shakhtyor Soligorsk
Correct score: Dinamo Brest 0-1 Shakhtyor Soligorsk (15/2)

FC Slutsk vs FC Belshina Bobruisk | Sunday April 26, 12:00 GMT
Top against bottom, highest scorers versus second lowest – this one has home win written all over it. FC Slutsk are one of only three teams to take 10 points from their five games so far, and indeed edge the other two on goal difference, however they are also one of only three sides yet to keep a clean sheet. Slutsk may not have it all their own way but a fourth Slutsk win in six games seems likely.
Match Odds: FC Slutsk (7/10) Draw (2/1) FC Belshina Bobruisk (16/5)
Tip: FC Slutsk
Correct score: FC Slutsk 2-1 FC Belshina Bobruisk (8/1)
Torpedo Belaz Zhodino vs Ruh Brest | Sunday April 26, 14:00 GMT
With the exception of a 2-0 defeat at Dinamo Minsk, Torpedo's defence has held up well this season. In the other four matches, they have kept clean sheets – last time out away at title favourites BATE Borisov the highlight. With Ruh Brest struggling in front of goal having managed just two goals in five matches so far, there's every chance Torpedo extend their fine start to the season.
Match Odds: Torpedo Belaz Zhodino (22/25) Draw (2/1) Ruh Brest (16/5)
Tip: Torpedo Belaz Zhodino
Correct score: Torpedo Belaz Zhodino 2-0 Rur Brest (13/2)
FC Isloch vs Vitebsk | Sunday April 26, 16:00 GMT
Vitebsk travel to Isloch unbeaten in their last three league matches and also unbeaten in four against their opponents. The visitors won three of those encounters without conceding a goal, and bearing in mind they can go top with a win, the slightly surprising underdogs have to be favoured here.
Match Odds: FC Isloch (26/25) Draw (2/1) Vitebsk (13/5)
Tip: Vitebsk
Correct score: FC Isloch 0-2 Vitebsk (15/1)
