National cups are something special for many teams and supporters. Today's match will decide whether it's Volna or Slavia that keep their silverware dream alive.
There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.
This pitch has artifical turf, which is not Slavia's usual surface at their own ground. When playing on artifical turf Slavia have performed like this: Played eleven matches resulting in 4 wins, 4 draws and 3 defeats with the goal stats 15-16 (scored/conceded).
Volna form and stats
Last season their Belarusian Cup adventure ended in the 16th finals.With 2 First Division wins, 2 draws and 4 defeats from their home games, Volna are certainly not brimming with confidence. Game days at Stadyen Valna have recently become somewhat of a nightmare for Volna as they have lost three home games in a row. It hurts.
In the preceding match a 1-0 victory visiting Lida.
Did Volna get overconfident in their match against Smorgon? We'll let you decide, but they did lose a 2-0 lead to end up with a 2-3 defeat. The defeat against Smorgon was especially painful as the deciding goal against was scored four minutes into stoppage time (by E. Savostjanov).
The Volna fans have had their share of opportunities to cheer home goals this season, having seen 15 goals in 8 league matches. Volna have conceded 16 goals in these home games, a significant number.
Slavia form and stats
Slavia's mission in Belarusian Cup last season failed in the semi-finals against BATE.The visitors are W3-D2-L5 on the road this term. That's in the Vysshaya Liga. Two points from the last two away games for Slavia, which the math geniuses among you will translate to two draws.
There were no winners in Slavia's previous match, a Vysshaya Liga home game that ended 1-1 vs Vitebsk. A loss against Isloch was the result prior to that, in a Vysshaya Liga home game.
Slavia have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 10 league away games 14 goals have been scored. Slavia have conceded 22 goals in these games.
Head 2 Head
Head-to-head totals (for the last ten meetings): Volna won three games, one match ended with a draw and Slavia has six wins. Over 2,5 goals / under 2,5 goals: four / sixTop Goalscorers
