An important duel in the bottom section of the league table, with both teams experiencing more worry than joy. This match is a classic “six-pointer” with the home team placed 12th and the visitors in 14th place.

It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Volna and Smorgon.

Volna form and stats

When playing at home, Volna have managed 3 wins, 0 draws and suffered 5 defeats from 8 games. Regardless of arena the trend is looking very unhealthy for Volna with their four defeats in a row. Not since the Orsha game, 27 days ago, have they avoided a loss. The Volna manager Oleg Korol might feel some added pressure to get something from this game after two straight home defeats.

Volna's previous game was also a home match, the defeat 2-4 versus Smorgon. Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Ruh Brest (0-1).

Volna are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home, having created 10 goals in 8 matches. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Volna defense is not exactly impregnable. 12 goals conceded from 8 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.

Smorgon form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Smorgon, who have the most conceded goals (30) away in First Division, so far with only 3 points returning home. The records show 1-0-8 (win-draw-lose).

Smorgon play their second away game in a row, but can be confident going into this one after the 4-2 victory visiting Volna. Preceding that game, the 1-3 loss visiting Granit's place.

The attacking power of Smorgon when travelling is not overwhelming with 8 goals scored in 9 matches. The Smorgon defense is as useful as an ashtray on a motorcycle, having conceded 30 goals in their away games.
