Minsk come from a 0-6 score facing Slavia last game, a fixture to remember. The next assignment is this robust Shakhtyor side.

Insights:
  • Minsk have the most matches over the total-line (15) in Vysshaya Liga
  • Shakhtyor have the most scored goals (55) in Vysshaya Liga

Shakhtyor could be less fresh than the hosts in this fixture, as they played a Vysshaya Liga game only four sleeps ago. That game, against Gomel, was also an away game. It's a tiring schedule for Shakhtyor.

This field has artifical turf, which is not Shakhtyor's regular surface at their own ground. When appearing on artifical turf Shakhtyor have performed like this: Played 13 matches earning 7 wins, 1 draw and 5 defeats with the goal production 14-13 (scored/conceded).

Relegation threatens Minsk who should definitely be looking for some points here. Shakhtyor have already won the Vysshaya Liga. Congratulations! It will be interesting to see if this affects performances here at the final stages.

Minsk's previous game was also a home match, the defeat 0-6 versus Slavia (placed 14th). Minsk were outplayed and humiliated in their previous game, as mentioned in the paragraph above. They will need to reinstall their confidence before this one.
