With their 22 point advantage in the league table, Dinamo Minsk fans are hoping to see their team collect maximum points from this game against Smolevichy-STI.

It’s a hectic schedule for the away team, as they were in action only four days ago in the Vysshaya Liga. That game was also an away game, at Minsk. It will be interesting to see if they are fully ready and rested for this match, and/or if some changes in the lineup is necessary.

The loyal fans travelling with their beloved Smolevichy-STI have enjoyed the stadium food more than the matches as the visitors have gone 13 consecutive matches without winning on the road.
