Meliorator Zhitkovichi form and stats

Seven points from three Second Division home games is a great start for Meliorator Zhitkovichi, who are hoping to build on that form here.

In their previous game, the manager A. Garbar led his Zhitkovichi to a defeat in the Second Division match away at Baranovichi. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here. In the preceding match a 2-1 victory visiting FC Ostrovets.

The Zhitkovichi fans have had their share of opportunities to cheer home goals this season, having seen 5 goals in 3 league matches. Zhitkovichi are not conceding a lot of goals here in the league, averaging less than one per game. The total is 2 from 3 matches.

Pershiy Regien form and stats

Pershiy Regien have only collected 4 points from their away games in the Second Division, after 1-1-4 (6 played). Three consecutive losses in away matches means Pershiy are growing more and more desperate for a good performance on the road. It's a growing despair in Pershiy as they have recorded three consecutive losses.

This game can not go any worse than the last one, a Second Division home defeat versus Ivatsevichi with 1-9 on the scoreboard. A 1-9 defeat away at Dinamo Malorita before that.

Pershiy lost the plot completely in their previous game, as mentioned above. They need to recover quickly from that 1-9 beating and focus on this one.

The attacking power of Pershiy when travelling is not overwhelming with 4 goals scored from 6 league matches away. Pershiy can't defend away. 18 goals have been scored by the opposition in 6 matches, an average of more than three per game. You might want to look at the total goal statistics, which can be found on the Statistics tab above.
