ML Vitebsk vs Dinamo Minsk prediction 03.07.2025 | Vysshaya Liga

• Competition: Vysshaya Liga
• Date: Thursday, 3rd July, 2025
• Kickoff: 16:00 UK / 17:00 CEST
• Venue: Vitebsk CSK (Vitebsk)

ML Vitebsk are playing an extraordinary season. Last year, they managed to secure a promotion from Vysshaya Liga and look like the primary candidate for the title. After 14 rounds, ML Vitebsk are at the top of the league with an incredible 36 points! Still, that is not really such a big surprise if we take a look at their total market value and the fact that they are among the best teams in the league in that department. Now, they are seven points away from the second-placed Dinamo Minsk, and a potential win over the reigning champs would create a massive gap between these two teams.

Dinamo Minsk won the previous two league titles by winning 68 and 69 points. This year, after a great start, Dinamo lost back-to-back games against Neman and Arsenal Dzyarzhynsk and are now in second place with 29 points from 14 rounds. They are seven points away from the top spot and are in a must-win situation. But generally, Dinamo is averaging almost 0.5 points per game less than the last two years, and the main problem for it is their terrible road record. Now, a road game against ML Vitebsk will be a real challenge for the reigning champs.

ML Vitebsk vs Dinamo Minsk pick: Under 2.5 goals

ML Vitebsk have been exceptional defensively, allowing only six goals in 14 matches - an incredible 0.43 goals per game. And it seems they are only getting better as the season progresses, as they kept a clean sheet in the last four games. Due to that fantastic defense, they went under 2.5 goals in 64% of their games. Onl FC Gomel had more games with fewer than three goals in the league.

Dinamo Minsk have been solid at home, but away from it, they weren't even remotely as good. At home, they averaged 2.25 goals per game, compared to only 0.83 goals on the road. So, we do not trust them to offer a good offensive display against the best team in the league.

Considering all the above, we believe that an under 2.5 goals bet seems like the best option for this Vysshaya Liga tie.
