BGU Minsk form and stats

With 2 Second Division wins, 0 draws and 6 defeats from their home games, BGU Minsk are certainly not brimming with confidence. Three consecutive losses here at Stadyen RTsOP-BGU is hard to swallow for the home team. Both players, staff and the home crowd are desperate to get something from this match.

A decent goal production from Minsk in their home games so far, with 13 goals from 8 league matches. Minsk are struggling defensively, conceding on average more than two goals per home game (18 from 8 played).

Kronon form and stats

The Second Division season is young and Kronon have only just started going through their travel schedule, with 3 away games done and still no victory. 1 draw and 2 defeats so far.

Kronon's previous game was their home loss versus Ivatsevichi (1-5).

As you can see from the result above, the defeat against Ivatsevichi was particularly ugly (1-5). The humiliation is still top of mind.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Kronon as they have only managed to score 2 times from 3 away games in the league. For Kronon, more than two goals on average per game end up in their own net.
