Struggling Orsha will be hoping to pull off an upset when they welcome high-flying Arsenal in the upcoming league round. It’s 11th vs 4th and the home crowd will have moderate expectations.
It's no vacation for neither Orsha nor Arsenal as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
Orsha form and stats
When playing at home in the Pershaya Liga, Orsha have managed 3 wins, 3 draws and suffered 5 defeats from 11 games. Orsha are slowly digging their own grave here at Stadyen Haradski with the depressing streak of not having won a home league game in seven attempts. The last victory here came in the Khimik Svetlogorsk match. Regardless of arena the trend is looking very unhealthy for Orsha with their five defeats in a row. Not since the Granit game, 36 days ago, have they avoided a loss.
The Orsha crowd went home unhappy last time out, seeing their beloved players lose 1-3 to Slonim here at Stadyen Haradski in a Pershaya Liga match. Prior to that, an away loss at Krumkachy.
The goals haven't exactly been flowing for Orsha here at Stadyen Haradski in the league, with less than one goal per game on average (10 from 11 games). It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. Orsha have conceded 16 in these home matches.
Arsenal form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Arsenal so far with only 10 points returning home. The records show 2-4-4 (win-draw-lose). With two straight losses from their last two away games, Arsenal are hoping that it's time for some travel points again.
Arsenal play their second straight away game, having lost the previous one 1-2 to Naftan (placed 13th). Prior to that match, a home win 3-2 against Volna.
Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Arsenal have scored 10 goals in 10 league games away. 13 goals have been conceded by Arsenal in these games.
