Gomel form and stats

The hosts won their first Vysshaya Liga game here at KFP Minsk Iskusstvennoe pole, lifting spirits. Home statistics for Gomel last season were 8 wins, 2 draws and 3 losses from 13 games. After failing to beat Krumkachy here at KFP Minsk Iskusstvennoe pole, Gomel has put together a very nice winning streak on their own turf with five wins in a row.

Gomel are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 2-3 away versus BATE. Before that game, the 2-0 home victory against Sputnik.

This is expected to be a close game, with Gomel perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Gomel as a small favourite), we find seven games. Gomel has won one of these, drawn two and lost four.

At KFP Minsk Iskusstvennoe pole, Gomel has the goal stats of 2-0 (for/against) from 1 league fixture.
