Competition: Belarus Vysshaya Liga
Competition: Sat 31.October
Match begins: 12:00 (UTC)

The visiting Shakhtyor side should be favourites in this visit to Belshina, as the away team holds a 29 point advantage from their 26 league games this season.

Belshina and Shakhtyor should both be in good shape for this meeting, as there's been enough days for both of them to train and rest since their last matches.

Belshina are fighting like crazy to avoid relegation and desperately need points in this fixture. Shakhtyor are still fighting for top positions and their benefits.
