Game week two of the Pershaya Liga season and the teams have had a few days to digest the first match. Here's the Belshina - Naftan preview:
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.
Belshina form and stats
Belshina's first Pershaya Liga home game here at KFP Minsk Iskusstvennoe pole ended in defeat. Last season their home statistics were 2 wins, 2 draws and 11 defeats from 15 matches. It's trouble wherever Belshina are playing these days as they have suffered four straight defeats now, regardless of arena. They really need to get back to winning ways. The home stadium (KFP Minsk Iskusstvennoe pole) is supposed to be a fortress, but for Belshina it's been a house of straw as the last five games here have all been lost. Can they turn things around?
Belshina's previous game was also a home match, the defeat 0-2 versus Volna (placed 3rd). Ahead of that match, Belshina lost 3-7 at home to Ruh Brest.
It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the Belshina at home in the league. 0 on target and 2 scored by the opposition; from 1 match.
Last season, Belshina's league statistics were 5 wins, 6 draws and 19 losses, resulting in a 15th position in the Vysshaya Liga. Over these 30 matches they scored 34 goals and conceded 71. Playing at home last season Belshina managed 2-2-11 (win-draw-lost) with 18 goals and 42 conceded.
Naftan form and stats
Naftan have succeeded in guarding their own goal lately, led by their goalkeeper Igor Dovgyallo. It's been 186 minutes since they last conceded in Pershaya Liga.
I. Zarobekov and N. Kostomarov scored in Naftan's previous match, the home game against Baranovichi that ended 2-0.
Let's have a look at how Naftan performed last season in the Pershaya Liga: They landed a 12th position in the league table after playing out 10 victories, 6 draws and 10 defeats. In total they scored 36 and conceded 43 goals in these matches. The numbers for away games only are: Won 4 - drew 4 and lost 5 with 16/24 goals scored/conceded.
