The league table in Vysshaya Liga tells a story about these teams so far, with Shakhtyor leading Gorodeya by 14 points. Match preview to follow:
It's no vacation for neither Shakhtyor nor Gorodeya as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
Shakhtyor form and stats
The story so far in the Vysshaya Liga for Shakhtyor, who have the most clean sheets (10) in Vysshaya Liga, at their home stadium (Stadyen Budaŭnik) is 4 wins, 2 draws and 2 defeats. Shakhtyor haven’t lost a league-game in twelve attempts regardless of arena, a great achievement. Their last loss was the fixture versus Slutsk, 85 days ago.
A nice win for Shakhtyor last time playing, versus Gorodeya. That was also a home game and the match ended 1-0 with Nikola Antić scoring for the victors. Before that match, a win away at Torpedo BelAZ.
It would be a shock if the hosts fail to win this game. Let's see how Shakhtyor have performed as huge favourites like they are today: four games found in the database showing three Shakhtyor wins, zero draws and one defeat.
Shakhtyor have proved capable of finding the net in their games here at Stadyen Budaŭnik with 13 goals in 8 league matches. As for guarding their own goal, Shakhtyor have only let in 4 goals at home.
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 2-2-4 (win-draw-lose). The pressure to perform on the road is increasing on O. Raduszko, the Gorodeya manager, as the last three away games were defeats.
Gorodeya lost away at Shakhtyor (0-1) in their previous game and are perhaps starting to feel homesick. Ahead of that game was the 2-2 draw at home against Vitebsk.
Gorodeya are huge outsiders in this game. Running a check in our games database we found twelve matches where they were as big outsiders as an away team. Results were four wins, one draw and seven defeats. Of the defeats, three games were lost by at least two goals margin.
Many goals are not expected from the visiting Gorodeya as they have only managed to score 7 times from 8 away games in the league. Gorodeya's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 13 goals from these trips.
Head 2 Head
These teams' last encounter with each other was the Shakhtyor - Gorodeya 4-1 earlier this season. Head-2-head stats last ten meetings: eight - two - zero (Shakhtyor wins - draws - Gorodeya wins). As for goals, three matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), seven had two or less.Top Goalscorers
