This could be an interesting match as Minsk have their presumed home advantage while Torpedo BelAZ are ahead 2 points in the Vysshaya Liga table.
It's no vacation for neither Minsk nor Torpedo BelAZ as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
This stadium uses artifical turf, unlike Torpedo BelAZ's home stadium. The visitors last seven games on artifical turf have ended in 1 win, 2 draws and 4 losses.
Minsk form and stats
OK but not perfect. That could be the conclusion for Minsk's two home games in the Vysshaya Liga so far this season, having collected 3 points here at Stadyen Traktar. Two defeats in a row at home hurts for Minsk, their manager A. Razin and the supporters. There are certain expectations for improvement.
The Minsk fans got no joy from their last match, a Vysshaya Liga game also here at Stadyen Traktar: A 2-5 defeat against Torpedo BelAZ (placed 4th). A strong away win before that one, visiting Slavia and winning 3-1.
As you can tell by the result above, the goals flowed freely in the previous game and the stadium rocked. Could there be another goal fest today?
The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Minsk have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found five matches with the results: Won two, drawn zero and lost three.
At Stadyen Traktar, Minsk has the goal stats of 3-5 (for/against) from 2 league fixtures.
Torpedo BelAZ form and stats
Things could have gone better for Torpedo BelAZ in their Vysshaya Liga away matches, but 4 points from 3 games is all right.
Two travels in a row for Torpedo BelAZ, whose manager Y. Puntus could celebrate last time after the Vysshaya Liga win against Minsk. A draw for Torpedo before that, at their own venue hosting Ruh Brest (0-0).
A crazy, crazy match with lots of goals last time out for Torpedo, as mentioned above. 7 goals in that one, will this match be as much fun? It's hard not to mention V. Gorbachik's lethal finishing against Minsk. three goals were a big reason for the important victory.
As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found five similar matches played by Torpedo BelAZ in our archives, and the results are: three wins for Torpedo, one draw and one defeat.
Goals are few and far between in Torpedo's away league games. Only 1 goal from 3 travels. They concede less than a goal on average per away game (2 so far).
