Ruh Brest form and stats

The home fans saw their team lose the first Premier League game of the season here at Stadyen DASK Brestski. Last season these fans witnessed 7 wins, 5 draws and 2 losses from Ruh Brest's 14 home games.

O. Kovtun was the last player to score a league goal for Brest and it's becoming a more and more distant memory as Ruh Brest haven't scored in 334 minutes.

Brest manager A. Sednev and his team return home after a 0-0 draw away versus Slavia (placed 6th) in the Premier League. A defeat was the result before that one, 0-1 away at BATE.

This is expected to be a close game, with Ruh Brest perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Brest as a small favourite), we find three games. Ruh Brest has won one of these, drawn zero and lost two.

At Stadyen DASK Brestski, Ruh Brest has the goal stats of 0-1 (for/against) from 1 league fixture.

Minsk form and stats

Things could have gone better for Minsk in their Premier League away matches, but 3 points from 2 games is all right.

Minsk are looking to quickly end their 225 minutes long goal drought in the Premier League.

This game can not go any worse than the last one, a Premier League home defeat versus BATE with 0-3 on the scoreboard. Preceding that game, the 0-2 loss visiting Ynergetyk-BDU's place.

As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found six similar matches played by Minsk in our archives, and the results are: two wins for Minsk, one draw and three defeats.

It's early days yet, but Minsk has scored 3 and conceded 3 goals from their travels in the league so far (2 games).
