There should be a significant difference in quality between these teams based on table positions so far, with Shakhtyor leading Vitebsk by 25 points.

Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.

Shakhtyor form and stats

Shakhtyor have been very solid at home in the Premier League so far, with 25 points collected from 10 matches (8-1-1). This has contributed greatly to their 3rd position in the table. The Shakhtyor fans aren't used to losing here at Stadyen Budaŭnik and will expect new points from this game. Shakhtyor has played eleven games in a row here without a defeat. The team is doing great wherever they are playing as Shakhtyor has won four games in a row. The Torino match was the last time out without a victory.

Happy days for Shakhtyor in their previous game, a Premier League match away at Isloch (placed 6th) that ended with a 1-0 victory. Ahead of that match, Shakhtyor won a home game hosting Gomel (3-1).

There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Shakhtyor as they are travelling to their away game against Gorodeya in the Premier League. That match is three days after this one.

With an average of more than two goals per home game in the league (24 in 10 games), Shakhtyor's attacking play is working. Shakhtyor are not conceding a lot of goals here at Stadyen Budaŭnik in the league, averaging less than one per game. The total is 8 from 10 matches.

Vitebsk form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Vitebsk so far with only 8 Premier League points returning home. The records show 2-2-5 (win-draw-lose).

This game can not go any worse than the last one, a Premier League home defeat versus Gomel with 1-2 on the scoreboard. It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Slutsk wasn't a success with a 0-3 loss.

Vitebsk has another fixture away, a Premier League game, against Slavia in just four days. A tough schedule for the visitors!

The attacking power of Vitebsk when travelling is not overwhelming with 6 goals scored from 9 league matches away. As opposed to that, Vitebsk have seen the ball go into their own net 13 times on the road.

Head 2 Head

This is the result when the teams met earlier this season; Vitebsk - Shakhtyor 1-0. Head-2-head stats last ten meetings: 7 - 1 - 2 (Shakhtyor wins - draws - Vitebsk wins). As for goals, 6 matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), 4 had two or less.
