Match begins: 11:30 (UTC)
Venue: Stadyen Chimik (2500 seats)

An important duel in the bottom section of the Pershaya Liga, with both Khimik Svetlogorsk and Naftan experiencing more worry than joy. This match is a classic "six-pointer" with the home team placed 14th and the visitors in 13th place.

Naftan could be less fresh than the hosts in this fixture, as they played a Pershaya Liga game only four sleeps ago. That game was also an away game, at Smorgon. It will be interesting to see if they are fully ready and rested for this match, and/or if some changes in the lineup is necessary.
