Minsk form and stats

4-0-1 (win-draw-lost) are the Vysshaya Liga numbers at home for Minsk so far this season. Minsk has won so many consecutive home games (four in a row) that they struggle to remember the last time points were lost here at Stadyen Traktar. We remember; it was Dinamo Minsk.

Minsk's previous game was also played at home, ending 1-0 versus Shakhtyor (placed 5th). The home side are looking to build on that result.

Heartbreak before that as Minsk lost 0-2 at Ynergetyk-BDU's place.

Minsk are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 7 goals in 5 games. From these home matches, Minsk have conceded only 3 goals.

Arsenal form and stats

0 wins, 2 draws and 2 losses. That’s the product of Arsenal playing as the away team in the Vysshaya Liga this season. The sun doesn’t shine and the birds do not sing for Arsenal, who have now gone eleven games without a victory. The Slonim game was their last win and it’s been a dry spell since.

Arsenal are looking to quickly end their 194 minutes long goal drought in the Vysshaya Liga.

The manager Kirilchik was unhappy after their last game, played at their home ground. Arsenal suffered a 0-2 loss to Ynergetyk-BDU (placed 2nd).

It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Neman Grodno wasn't a success with a 0-2 loss.

There's been a serious shortage of goals from Arsenal's away games in the league this season with only 1 goal from 4 matches.
