Baltarusian Vysshaya Liga
This is currently the largest and most popular ongoing football league. The first three rounds have already been played, and so far, none of them have been without surprises. The matches are full of red cards, penalties, and other anomalies that often cast doubt on the legitimacy of the results.
Currently, the top spot in this league is held by the relatively unknown Energetik-BGU club, which has managed to secure victories against teams like Din. Minsk and BATE. Overall, the teams at the top of the table right now were predicted to be in lower positions.
Meanwhile, the elite of the Belarusian football league, i.e., Din. Minsk, BATE, and Shakhtyor Soligorsk, are still struggling to get into their stride and are not showing the level of play expected of them.
The fourth round of this league will take place next weekend (April 10-13). It will feature several particularly interesting matches. FC Minsk will host BATE at home. An unusually low odds of 1.72 is offered for a BATE victory. However, everyone expects better play from them, and a resounding BATE victory would probably not be surprising. Odds of 2.50 for a BATE win with a -1 handicap seem quite interesting.
Another interesting match awaits between Gorodeja and Din. Minsk. Although the Minsk team has had a tough start to the season, their true potential is much higher than the results show. Din. Minsk's victory with odds of 2.00 seems like a really good option.
In the 4th round, the league leaders Energetik will also face Zhodino. We predict that Energetik should suffer their first defeat here, and odds of 1.95 for the Zhodino club, whose squad is definitely stronger than Energetik, seem valuable.
Other Ongoing Football Leagues
Another currently ongoing football league is the Nicaraguan Liga Primera. The season here is halfway through, with 14 rounds already played. So far, the Managua team is leading, but Esteli and Diriangen are only a few points behind.
In the upcoming round, all teams will play their 15th matches. Since both Esteli and Diriangen teams did not fare well in their last matches, we predict that they will perform better in the upcoming round and secure victories against weaker opponents. Combining Diriangen and Esteli victories would give about 2.00 odds. You can find more about betting here.
Where is the Best Place to Bet?
Tajikistan, despite all directives, started its football league on April 5. Although you can even place live bets on this league's football matches, it is extremely exotic. If you decide to bet on Tajikistan teams, be especially cautious. Anything can happen here, and results often defy any football logic.
Basketball
Currently, there is only one basketball league ongoing in the world – Taiwan's SBL. This league has a few favorites: Taiwan Beer and Pauian. Meanwhile, the other teams are relatively weaker. Matches in the Taiwan basketball league are often high-scoring. Therefore, probably the best decision when betting on this league would be to choose total match points bets.
Ice Hockey
No regular format ice hockey matches are taking place at the moment. However, Short Hockey tournaments are being held in Russia and Belarus. These tournaments feature teams made up of amateurs – semi-professionals. Most teams have very similar capabilities, and you will often find equal odds for team victories when betting.
It is worth noting that the short hockey format is different from regular ice hockey. The game is played on a much smaller rink, and the matches last a total of 60 minutes (3 periods of 10 minutes each). However, since the rink is very small, many goals are scored here. 8 or more goals are no surprise. Therefore, when betting on this league, it is worth following how the teams are doing, what trends are prevailing that day, and you can often predict whether high-scoring matches are expected or not.
E-sports
This is probably the sport that has benefited the most in this situation. Matches do not require stadiums or live audiences. Everything can be done from home or the office. Therefore, hundreds of different e-sports events can be seen in the betting offer every day.
The most anticipated e-sports event next week (April 6-12) is probably the Counter Strike GO ESL Pro League final stage. Six elite CS GO teams – NaVi, OG, Astralis, FaZe, mousesports, and Fnatic – will compete in it. All teams will play several matches against each other, and the grand final will take place on Sunday.
NaVi team could be considered the favorite of this tournament. Recently, they have been particularly successful playing “online,” and it does not seem that other teams could match them in a Best of 5 format.
In addition to CS GO matches, various FIFA tournaments are held daily. Many matches are streamed live on the Twitch platform, so you can place bets and watch all the action live. Before betting, watch at least a couple of matches to get familiar with how everything works.
