Gomel, who have the the best goal difference (+16) in Pershaya Liga, have collected 11 points from their Pershaya Liga home games so far after 3-2-1.

The Gomel supporters enjoyed the previous match, watching their team host Granit in Pershaya Liga and win 2-1. 1-1 away at Oshmyany before that.

Khimik Svetlogorsk form and stats

There's been little loot from Khimik Svetlogorsk's travels as they have only collected 1 point from 10 away games in the Pershaya Liga. Khimik Svetlogorsk, who have the most conceded goals (31) in Pershaya Liga, only have 0 wins to counter their 9 defeats and 1 draw. Khimik Svetlogorsk are desperate to end a twelve-game winless run, as they haven't won a game since the Gomelzheldortrans fixture. Travelling has not been lucrative for the away team as they have returned home without a win in ten away games in a row.

Svetlogorsk lost away at Naftan (0-3) in their previous game and are perhaps starting to feel homesick. It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Granit wasn't a success with a 1-2 loss.

There's been a serious shortage of goals from Svetlogorsk's away games in the league this season with only 3 goals from 10 matches. The Svetlogorsk manager O. Cherepnev has some worries about the defense as 23 goals have been conceded in these travels.

Head 2 Head

As for the last six games between these two teams, there's six Gomel victories, zero draws and zero Khimik Svetlogorsk wins. Over/under statistics; three of these games ended with three goals or more, three matches with two goals or less.
