Perhaps a welcome break from league football as Slutsk & Shakhtyor face off to decide who makes it to next stage of the Belarusian Cup. All the pre-match information is available here!
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!
Slutsk form and stats
Slutsk was eliminated in the 8th finals last season in the Belarusian Cup.With 3 Vysshaya Liga wins, 3 draws and 6 defeats from their home games, Slutsk are certainly not brimming with confidence. Regardless of arena the trend is looking very unhealthy for Slutsk with their six defeats in a row. Not since the Isloch game, 76 days ago, have they avoided a loss. With Slutsk having lost three times in a row here, the pressure is increasing on the manager A. Konchits.
Slutsk faced defeat in their previous match, away at Ruh Brest (0-5). Ahead of that match, Slutsk lost 1-3 at home to BATE.
As you see from the result above, Slutsk suffered greatly in their last game. Thankfully the team has a new chance to prove themselves in this one.
Slutsk has scored 14 league goals at home this season, in 12 matches. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 18 goals have been conceded.
Shakhtyor form and stats
They also participated in Belarusian Cup last season. This ended in the semi-finals, when Dinamo Brest drew the shortest straw.As the visiting team in Vysshaya Liga matches, Shakhtyor have produced an overall stat of 5-5-2 so far. Shakhtyor has lost their two previous away games and are eager to kill a negative trend in its infancy.
There might be some fixture complaints from Shakhtyor as they are again playing away from home after losing on the road in their previous match, the Vysshaya Liga match against Slavia (0-1). Before that, Shakhtyor secured a home win against Vitebsk with the score 5-0.
