Dinamo Minsk to dominate at Beroe
Coach and form
Dinamo Minsk should have too much for PFC Neftchi Baku in the UEFA Conference League qualification 2026 after getting the better of the Azerbaijan side 4-2 in the first leg of their tie. Aleksandr Shagoyko has got Dinamo Minsk playing with a real bite since he took over on 3rd January 2026.
The Belarusian side have won seven, drawn two and lost just one of their ten games in all competitions since the 2026 New Year and it's all been about the high press in a 4-3-3 system, with the side looking to hurt teams before they can reset.
Tactics and odds
Neftchi may look to keep things tight at the back with a compact 3-4-2-1 or 4-2-3-1 system, so this could be a bit of a chess match, but Dinamo should have the upper hand and the 2.18 odds for them to do just that are definitely worth an investment over 3.13 about Neftchi.
However, Yuri Vernydub has done a good job with them since coming in on 9th December 2025 and he has experience of this competition.
Neftchi are no pushovers
Match outlook
Vernydub's side are well organised and good on the transition, so the matchup should be more competitive than a blowout. Neftchi are also in good form, but they failed to take advantage of Dinamo's defensive weaknesses and conceded four goals, so this is likely to be a scrappy affair.
Betting angles
Both teams to score at 1.55 looks a good fit given the goal trading of the first game and the fact that over 2.5 goals at 1.62 also stands up as a playable proposition for another lively night.
Back the main men
- Evgeni Malashevich has scored four goals in Dinamo Minsk's last five games and two in their three UEFA Conference League qualification 2026 games, so he's a likely anytime scorer here.
- Emin Makhmudov is Neftchi Baku's spark as he's scored three of their last ten goals and he's also found the net in this competition, so we're backing him at a decent price.
