CHAMPIONS LEAGUE 

EUROPA LEAGUE

RELEGATION PLAY OFF  (v 3rd in First League) 

RELEGATION 

The Belarusian Premier League that many people watched and took a massive interest in during the lockdowns and still do to this day has a somewhat familiar look to it at the top with BATE Borisov winning eight, drawing five and losing just one of their fourteen games played.

Their only defeat has come against Isloch who won 0-1 on Saturday 18th June. Daniel Sosah scored the only goal of the game who has been with Isloch since 2021 and is a full International for the Niger International Team.

Energetik-BGU are having a brilliant season and are currently in second place having finished 12th, 10th and 13rd since promotion from the second tier. 

Bobur Abdukhalikov is top scorer in the division scoring fourteen goals for Energetik. He is a full International for Uzbekistan.

Two of the sides promoted from the First League are currently in the relegation zone. Arsenal Dzerzhinsk have two wins which have come recently in their last three games against DNEPR Mogilev and Slavia Mozyr. 

DNEPR Mogilev have one victory in fourteen games which came against Dynamo Brest who are struggling in the bottom three after huge budget cuts were made for this season. The 2019 Premier League winners and one of the biggest clubs in Belarus are in real danger of relegation.
