There's been ups and downs for these two teams so far this season, occupying positions near the middle of the Premier League table so far. Here's the Neman Grodno - Minsk latest:

Both teams have had enough rest since their last competitive action. Let's hope for an energetic game!

One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on grass and that the visiting Minsk have a different surface at their stadium (artificial turf). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on grass is 5-7-17 (win-draw-loss) from 29 matches.

Relegation threatens Neman Grodno who should definitely be looking for some points here. Minsk are fighting to avoid relegation and will work hard for points.
