Struggling Granit will be hoping to pull off an upset when they welcome high-flying Sputnik in the upcoming league round. It’s 12th vs 1st and the home crowd will have moderate expectations.
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!
Granit form and stats
2 victories, 1 draw and 3 defeats. That’s what Granit have to build on here at Stadyen Poles'e in the Pershaya Liga.
The Granit fans got no joy from their last match, a Belarusian Cup game also here at Stadyen Poles'e: A 0-5 defeat against BATE. Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Arsenal (0-3).
Granit were outplayed and humiliated in their previous game, as mentioned in the paragraph above. They will need to reinstall their confidence before this one.
The Granit fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 6 in 6 matches. Granit have conceded 7 in these home matches.
Sputnik form and stats
Sputnik's travelling support has been rewarded for their time and money so far this season, having witnessed Sputnik, who have the most clean sheets (7) in Pershaya Liga, collect 12 points from their 6 away matches in the Pershaya Liga. 3 victories and 3 draws have created these points (and only 0 defeats).
Impressive finishing from V. Potorocha (3) secured the home win 3-2 against Belshina (after extra-time) in their previous game.
V. Potorocha certainly enjoyed Sputnik's last game versus Belshina (after extra-time), appearing multiple times in the match report with three goals and the 3-2 victory. V. Potorocha came off the bench to score the winning goal in the match against Belshina (after extra-time) last time out, making the manager V. Levchyk feel like a tactical genius.
Sputnik are not goal shy away from home in the league, finding the net 9 times in 6 away games so far. Sputnik's manager V. Levchyk has created a great defensive setup working very nicely in away games with only 3 conceded goals. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.
