POS	TEAM	P	GD	PTS	PP	FORM
1.	BATE BORISOV	29	+33	57	60	LDWDW
2.	SHAKHTYOR SOLIGORSK	29	+34	56	59	LWWDW

After the weekend's fixtures it's all down to the final game of the season in the title race in Belarus. BATE Borisov face a trip to Dynamo Minsk with Shakhtyor Soloigorsk hosting FC Minsk. 

In Belarus league positions are decided on a head-2-head record first and then goal difference. The H2H record between BATE and Shakhtyor is equal with a 2-2 draw and a 1-1 draw in their games played - this means should BATE lost and Shakhtyor draw the title will be decided on goal difference. 

BATE's trip to Dynamo Minsk is a tough one as the home side are still in with, albeit a big outside one, a chance of European football for the 21/22 campaign. Dynamo have also won their last six games in a row scoring 11 and letting in just 4 goals.

BATE will be in a confident mood following their 5-0 home victory over Belshina Bobruisk - A result which sees the visitors officially relegated. 

Fixtures involving the top two

POS	TEAM	P	GD	PTS	PP	FORM
3.	NEMAN GRODNO	29	+14	53	56	WLLWW
4.	TORPEDO ZHODINO	29	+17	53	56	LWWWW
5.	DYNAMO BREST	29	+21	51	54	WWDLW
6.	DYNAMO MINSK	29	+13	51	54	WWWWW

In the race for the Europa League it's an exciting one with many permutations. Firstly as Shaktyor have a better h-2-h record against Torpedo (4-1 win and 0-1 defeat = 4-2) so they are assured of a Europa League place even if they lose combined with a Neman and Torpedo victory. The game between Dynamo Brest and Neman Grodno could be a very exciting one!

Dynamo Brest v Neman Grodno 

Dynamo Minsk v BATE Borisov 

Vitebsk v Torpedo Zhodino 

At the bottom of the table we now know that unfortunately Belshina Bobruisk are relegated and they will join Smolevichy in the First League next season. 

Slutsk (14th) could draw level on points with Gorodeya in 13th place should they win and Gorodeya lost in the final game of the season - but as Gorodeya recorded 1-0 and 3-0 victories in the games played this season they are safe on the h-2-h record.
