MKK-Dnepr form and stats

The story so far in the Second Division for MKK-Dnepr at their home stadium (Stadyen DYuSSh-1) is 0 wins, 2 draws and 3 defeats. With eight home Second Division games in a row without a win, the MKK-Dnepr fans could feel they are not getting value for their money. It remains to be seen whether this unfortunate streak, which started after the YuA-Stroy-DYuSSh game long ago, can be stopped today.

MKK-Dnepr have scored 4 league goals here from 5 matches, not a lot. MKK-Dnepr are struggling defensively, conceding on average more than two goals per home game (10 from 5 played).

Polotsk form and stats

There's been little loot from Polotsk's travels as they have only collected 0 points from 6 away games in the Second Division. Polotsk only have 0 wins to counter their 6 defeats and 0 draws. The manager S. Smolyakov is not happy with the away performances in the Second Division so far, as all 6 matches have been lost. The loyal fans travelling with their beloved Polotsk have enjoyed the stadium food more than the matches as the visitors have gone 16 consecutive matches without winning on the road. The last time three points were secured away was the Granit game.

Impressive finishing secured the home win 5-1 against Zhlobin in their previous game.

As mentioned above, Polotsk was the only team on the pitch versus Zhlobin in their previous game, winning 5-1. This could be a tougher task.

Goals are few and far between in Polotsk's away league games. Only 1 goal from 6 travels. The Polotsk defense is as useful as an ashtray on a motorcycle, having conceded 25 goals in their away games.
