₴токёd fоя тнє мadиёšs

Artem Milevsky, once heavily tipped for a move to Liverpool - who presumably realised that they’d be better off buying Philippe Coutinho than a guy who habitually turned up for training drunk and kept crashing his Ferrari while drag racing - has taken the lead for Dinamo Brest against Slutsk.

Another shock as BATE Borisov lose for the second game in a row, away to Slavia Mozyr.

Could the string of upsets have anything to do with the fact that there is probably hundreds of millions of dollars being bet on every match? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Worth noting that these matches are not being played behind closed doors. Crowds are not necessarily huge but there is no attempt at spacing people out.
