It's game two of the Premier League season and everything to play for. Read our full preview of Minsk-Dinamo Minsk!

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!

One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on artifical turf and that the visiting Dinamo Minsk have a different surface at their stadium (grass). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on artifical turf is 4-4-0 (win-draw-loss) from eight matches.

There's local pride at stake here, as these teams are practically neighbours. Expect lots of passion from both players and supporters.

Minsk form and stats

It's back home for Minsk, who return with a good feeling about themselves after beating Belshina away with the result 3-1. V. Khvashchinskiy, D. Ryzhuk and O. Vasyliev found the net in that victory. A 1-1 draw away before that, with Isloch the opponent.

Last season, Minsk's league statistics were 9 wins, 9 draws and 12 losses, resulting in a 9th position in the Premier League. Over these 30 matches they scored 36 goals and conceded 44. Playing at home last season Minsk managed 8-4-3 (win-draw-lost) with 21 goals and 19 conceded.

Dinamo Minsk form and stats

Dinamo Minsk might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Ruh Brest proved too strong as Dinamo Minsk slumped to a 0-1 defeat in front of their own fans at Stadyen Traktar. It was a Belarusian Cup defeat before that one as the away game against BATE wasn't a success with a 2-3 loss.

Let's have a look at how Dinamo Minsk performed last season in the Premier League: They landed a 4th position in the league table after playing out 15 victories, 5 draws and 10 defeats. In total they scored 43 and conceded 39 goals in these matches. The numbers for away games only are: Won 6 - drew 4 and lost 5 with 17/22 goals scored/conceded.

Head 2 Head

Numbers for the last ten meetings between these two teams are: zero wins for Minsk, four draws and six wins for Dinamo Minsk. Over 2,5 goals: two times; under 2,5 goals: eight games.
