The visiting Ynergetyk-BDU side should be favourites in this visit to Minsk, as the away team holds a 14 point advantage from their 17 league games this season.
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
There's local pride at stake here, as these teams are practically neighbours. Expect lots of passion from both players and supporters.
