Gorodeya form and stats

The home fans haven’t been spoiled with victories in the Vysshaya Liga this season. Gorodeya, who have the fewest scored goals (22) in Vysshaya Liga, have only managed 3 wins, 4 draws and 6 losses from their games here.

Gorodeya are returning here after visiting Neman Grodno in a Vysshaya Liga game and winning with a 1-0 scoreline. Lazar Sajčić scored the goal(s). Nobody expected Gorodeya to beat Neman Grodno in the last match, but sometimes David beats Goliath.

Some amazing scenes last match, when Lazar Sajčić scored the winning goal one minutes into stoppage time.
