An important duel in the bottom section of the Vysshaya Liga, with both Gorodeya and Belshina experiencing more worry than joy. This match is a classic "six-pointer" with the home team placed 13th and the visitors in 16th place.

Belshina form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Belshina, who have the most conceded goals (35) in Vysshaya Liga, so far with only 5 points returning home. The records show 1-2-5 (win-draw-lose).

Sergey Glebko and Leonid Kovel scored in Belshina's previous match, the home game against Torpedo BelAZ that ended 2-1. Ahead of that match was the away draw versus Minsk that ended 2-2.

The attacking power of Belshina when travelling is not overwhelming with 7 goals scored from 8 league matches away. The Belshina manager D. Migas has some worries about the defense as 16 goals have been conceded in these travels.
