Competition: Belarus Premier League

Match begins: 13:30 (UTC)
Venue: Stadyen Junatsva (5371 seats)

The home fans are expecting three points in this fixture, as the home advantage should be put to good use versus a struggling visitor. Slavia are in the 10th position while the guests worry at 12th.

It’s a hectic schedule for the away team, as they were in action only four days ago in the Premier League. That game, against Shakhtyor, was also an away game. It's a tiring schedule for Vitebsk.

Slavia form and stats

3-2-4 (win-draw-lost) are the Premier League numbers at home for Slavia so far this season.

Slavia lost their last game at Minsk (placed 11th) after a 0-1 scoreline. Preceding that game was the home draw versus Ynergetyk-BDU that ended 2-2.

This is expected to be a close game, with Slavia perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Slavia as a small favourite), we find four games. Slavia has won 4 of these, drawn 0 and lost 0.

There's a new fixture coming up fairly quickly for Slavia, as the Premier League home game vs Gorodeya is only four days away.

A decent goal production from Slavia in their home games so far, with 14 goals from 9 league matches. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 15 goals have been conceded.

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 2-2-6 (win-draw-lose). Recent form does not give Vitebsk much hope, as the visitors have lost three games in a row. Slavia will be a tough nut to crack. With two straight losses from their last two away games, Vitebsk are hoping that it's time for some travel points again.

Vitebsk play their second straight away game, having lost the previous one 0-4 to Shakhtyor (placed 2nd). A loss against Gomel was the result prior to that, in a home game.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Vitebsk playing away and similar expectations, we found six relevant matches. Results were 1 Vitebsk win, 1 draw and 4 defeats.

After this away game Vitebsk return home for a Premier League game against Isloch. That game is only four sleeps after this.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Vitebsk as they have only managed to score 6 times from 10 away games in the league. Vitebsk have conceded 17 goals in these games.

Head 2 Head

Numbers for the last ten meetings between these two teams are: 3 wins for Slavia, 4 draws and 3 wins for Vitebsk. Over 2,5 goals: 5 times; under 2,5 goals: 5 games.
