It's still early in the Premier League season, but we are learning more and more about the teams. Here is the Shakhtyor - Slutsk preview!
This should be an interesting game with lots of spark and energy as both teams are well rested since they last saw competitive action. Game on!
Shakhtyor form and stats
Shakhtyor are yet to win a home game, having collected 1 point from their first two Premier League games here at Stadyen Budaŭnik.
Shakhtyor haven't scored a league goal since they found the net 181 minutes ago. D. Podstrelov scored that one. Nothing to worry about in defence for Shakhtyor, as their goalkeeper Aleksandr Gutor has completely shut out the opponents for 270 minutes in the Premier League.
Shakhtyor shared the glory with Smolevichy-STI in their last match, an away game that ended all square 0-0. Heartbreak before that as Shakhtyor lost 0-2 at Dinamo Brest's place.
Shakhtyor are believed to win this game, given a winning chance of about 70% by the bookmakers. We have checked our records for their performance in similar circumstances and found seven matches and the win/draw/lost stats: Won five, drew one and lost one.
Early season league goal statistics from Shakhtyor's 2 home games: 0 goals, 1 conceded.
Slutsk form and stats
A perfect away game record so far for the visitors in the Premier League, but they have only played once. Last season their away game stats were 4 wins, 3 draws and 8 defeats from 15 matches.
Slutsk's last game ended in a draw, the home match versus Vitebsk that finished 1-1. Before that one, a nice away victory 3-2 at Isloch.
We have done a similar check as we did with the hometeam, looking up recent matches where Slutsk played away with similar odds. This revealed five games. The visitors overcame the odds to win one time, one were draw and the home team won as expected three times.
3 goals so far away for Slutsk, while their defence has allowed the opposition to score 2. All from 1 league match away.
