This match features two teams living in the basement of the Vysshaya Liga, Minsk holding 12th place and Gorodeya lying 14th. A good chance for both teams to improve their position.
We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
Minsk form and stats
When playing at home in the Vysshaya Liga, Minsk have managed 4 wins, 2 draws and suffered 4 defeats from 10 games.
Happy days for Minsk in their previous game, a Belarusian Cup match away at FC Ostrovets that ended with a 3-0 victory. Before that game, the 4-3 home victory against Neman Grodno.
The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Minsk have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found four games) they have won two times, drawn zero and lost two.
The Minsk fans have had their share of opportunities to cheer home goals this season, having seen 15 goals in 10 league matches. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 19 goals have been conceded.
Gorodeya form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Gorodeya so far with only 8 points returning home. The records show 2-2-7 (win-draw-lose). Bitter travels for Gorodeya as they have lost five games in a row away from home. The last time they avoided an away-from-home loss was the Slavia match.
Gorodeya play their second away game in a row, but can be confident going into this one after the 2-0 victory visiting Naftan. The game before that, in the Vysshaya Liga, was lost at home, a 1-3 defeat against Ruh Brest.
Gorodeya are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is one win, three draws and zero defeats. From a total of four matches.
The attacking power of Gorodeya when travelling is not overwhelming with 8 goals scored from 11 league matches away. As for defending, Gorodeya rarely keep clean sheets as they have conceded 19 goals from these away matches.
