Neman Grodno form and stats

The story so far in the Vysshaya Liga for Neman Grodno at their home stadium (Stadion Neman) is 0 wins, 1 draw and 4 defeats. It's been an uphill battle for Grodno in their home games for quite some time now, as four matches in a row are lost here. Not since the Vitebsk game have they avoided the disappointment of defeat.

No payout for Grodno in their previous match, an away game at Ruh Brest that ended in defeat 0-2.

Ahead of that match, Neman Grodno lost 1-2 at home to Shakhtyor.

Sputnik form and stats

The story so far for the visiting team on their Vysshaya Liga travels is 1 win, 0 draws and 4 defeats. It's looking increasingly bleak for Sputnik who now has to deal with a six game losing streak. Ynergetyk-BDU was the last time a defeat was avoided.

There might be some fixture complaints from Sputnik as they are again playing away from home after losing on the road in their previous match, the Vysshaya Liga match against BATE (1-2).

Preceding that, the 0-2 home loss versus Slavia.

Sputnik are seemingly not capable of scoring regularly on their travels in the league. They have only managed 2 goals from 5 away games. As for defending, Sputnik rarely keep clean sheets as they have conceded 8 goals from these away matches.
