An important duel in the bottom section of the Vysshaya Liga, with both Minsk and Neman Grodno experiencing more worry than joy. This match is a classic "six-pointer" with the home team placed 12th and the visitors in 14th place.
Minsk and Neman Grodno should both be in good shape for this meeting, as there's been enough days for both of them to train and rest since their last matches.
This pitch has artifical turf, which is not Neman Grodno's usual surface at their own ground. When playing on artifical turf Neman Grodno have performed like this: Played eight matches resulting in 4 wins, 0 draws and 4 defeats with the goal stats 11-14 (scored/conceded).
Minsk form and stats
Minsk have played three Vysshaya Liga home games so far, perhaps enough to set expectations for the season. In that case, only 3 points from these matches could be a signal of rough times ahead. Minsk are very eager to stop a potential losing streak at Stadion FK Minsk, having lost their two previous games here.
Minsk drew their last game, 1-1 away at Gorodeya (placed 11th). Ahead of that match, Minsk lost 2-5 at home to Torpedo BelAZ.
A decent goal production from Minsk in their home games so far, with 5 goals from 3 league matches. This has been a stadium of sighs so far as Minsk have let the opposition score 10 times, an average of more than three per game.
Neman Grodno form and stats
As the visiting team in Vysshaya Liga matches, Neman Grodno have produced an overall stat of 0-1-3 so far. Grodno seem to be suffering from homesickness with two consecutive losses away. Third time lucky?
Home advantage was not enough for Grodno in their previous game, as they lost their Vysshaya Liga-match, hosting Ruh Brest, 2-4. Prior to that match, the Grodno manager I. Kovalevich faced defeat when travelling to BATE and losing 1-3.
As you can tell from the result, the match against Ruh Brest was as crazy as a clown in a village circus. Great fun for the neutral supporter with 6 goals, will the fun continue today?
There's been a serious shortage of goals from Grodno's away games in the league this season with only 1 goal from 4 matches. In the opposite end, Grodno have conceded 6 goals in their away games.
