Polotsk form and stats

Polotsk's struggle is real here at Stadyen Spartak, Polatsk with only 7 points collected from 8 Second Division games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 2-1-5. Regardless of arena the trend is looking very unhealthy for Polotsk with their four defeats in a row. Not since the Energosbyt-BSATU game, 34 days ago, have they avoided a loss. The Polotsk manager S. Smolyakov might feel some added pressure to get something from this game after two straight home defeats.

and it's becoming a more and more distant memory as Polotsk haven't scored in 200 minutes.

Ahead of that match, Polotsk lost 0-3 at home to SMI Autotrans.

Polotsk were outplayed and humiliated in their previous game, as mentioned in the paragraph above. They will need to reinstall their confidence before this one.

The Polotsk manager S. Smolyakov has got the team scoring with 19 from 8 home games in the league. Polotsk have allowed more than three conceded goals on average in their home matches so far.
