Torpedo Zhodino vs Naftan Prediction

Torpedo Zhodino host Naftan on 19 October 2026 at 18:00 in round 25 of the Belarusian Premier League. Zhodino sit ninth with 30 points after 24 matches and have collapsed in recent weeks, winning just one of their last five league games. Naftan occupy 15th place in the relegation zone with 17 points but have recovered from five consecutive defeats, taking seven points from their last three matches and scoring seven goals in that span.

Zhodino's attacking problems run deep. They scored only twice across their last five games and managed just one goal in their final four outings. A 6-0 loss to Vitebsk prompted a managerial change to Denis Karolik, whose arrival brought a 1-0 win over Minsk before further defeats followed. Naftan's recent form offers genuine threat despite their defensive fragility. They drew 2-2 with BATE, beat Slaviya Mozyr 1-0, and demolished Belshuina 4-1 in their last three games. The relegation battle has sharpened their focus, though they remain vulnerable at the back, having conceded 55 goals in 24 matches.

Form and H2H

Zhodino's home record over their last ten matches reads two wins, one draw, and seven losses, averaging 0.70 goals for and 2.00 against per game. Naftan's away form shows three wins, two draws, and five losses, with 1.40 goals for and 2.40 against per game on average.

The head-to-head record heavily favours Zhodino. Since 2014, they have won 13 of 16 meetings and drawn three. Their last three encounters produced an 11-2 aggregate scoreline in Zhodino's favour. In this season's first meeting, Zhodino won 4-0 away. However, Naftan's recent attacking improvement and Zhodino's current toothlessness in front of goal complicate that historical advantage. Zhodino's profit trends show losses on home wins and draws, while Naftan's away record shows losses on away wins but gains on Over 2 goals and Team Total Over 0.5.

Best bet

Naftan will not lose. Zhodino have won four of their last five matches only on paper; the reality is one victory in five games with four defeats and a goal tally of 2-11. Naftan have scored in two of their last three outings and carry genuine attacking threat despite their defensive issues. The away side's seven-point haul in three matches against struggling opposition suggests they can at least avoid defeat against a team that has forgotten how to score. At 1xBet, a draw or away win pays 2.40 on the 1X2 market.
