Only a few games have been played in the Second Division so far, with Polotsk placed 6th and MKK-Dnepr sitting in the 11th position.

There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.

Polotsk form and stats

Only two Second Division home games for Polotsk so far, yet both highs and lows with 1 win, 0 draws and 1 defeat.

Polotsk's previous game was a Second Division match also played at home, ending 8-2 versus MKK-Dnepr (placed 11th). The home side are looking to build on that result. Prior to that, an away loss at Zhlobin.

As mentioned above, Polotsk "killed" MKK-Dnepr in their previous game. They need to reset completely for this one and beware of complacency.

At Stadyen Spartak, Polotsk has the goal stats of 8-6 (for/against) from 2 league fixtures.

MKK-Dnepr form and stats

No Second Division points yet away for MKK-Dnepr, from their first 2 matches. MKK-Dnepr are desperate to end a eleven-game winless run, as they haven't won a game since the YuA-Stroy-DYuSSh fixture. With two straight losses from their last two away games, MKK-Dnepr are hoping that it's time for some travel points again.

There might be some fixture complaints from MKK-Dnepr as they are again playing away from home after losing on the road in their previous match, the Second Division match against Polotsk (2-8). A draw for MKK-Dnepr before that, at their own venue hosting Gorki (1-1).

As you can see from the result above, the defeat against Polotsk was particularly ugly (2-8). The humiliation is still top of mind.

It's early days yet, but MKK-Dnepr has scored 2 and conceded 12 goals from their travels in the league so far (2 games).
