The home fans are expecting three points in this fixture, as the home advantage should be put to good use versus a struggling visitor. Ruh Brest are in the 6th position while the guesting Slutsk worry at 13th.
Ruh Brest and Slutsk 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.
Ruh Brest form and stats
Ruh Brest have collected 13 points from their Vysshaya Liga home games so far after 3-4-5.
Ruh Brest enjoyed a nice away win last time out, playing at Smolevichy-STI's place. The match ended 6-0 with Artem Rakhmanov, Aleksey Antilevski, Evgeni Shevchenko, Vladislav Vasiljev (2) and Vsevolod Sadovskiy scoring. Before that game, the home loss against Neman Grodno with the scoreline 2-3.
As mentioned above, Ruh Brest "killed" Smolevichy-STI in their previous game. They need to reset completely for this one and beware of complacency.
Brest has scored 15 league goals at home this season, in 12 matches. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 19 goals have been conceded.
Slutsk form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Slutsk, who have the fewest clean sheets (0) in Vysshaya Liga, so far with only 9 points returning home. The records show 3-0-7 (win-draw-lose). It's all red in the travel logs of Slutsk, having lost seven matches in a row as the visiting team. It's looking increasingly bleak for Slutsk who now has to deal with a five game losing streak. Isloch was the last time a defeat was avoided.
Slutsk might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. BATE proved too strong as Slutsk slumped to a 1-3 defeat in front of their own fans at Stadyen Haradski. Ahead of that match was the victory versus Gomelzheldortrans at their stadium, the result 2-0.
There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Slutsk manager A. Konchits as the team has another away game coming up in only four days, this time against Ynergetyk-BDU.
Slutsk are scoring more than one goal per away game on average, having accumulated 11 away goals from 10 games (in the league). The Slutsk manager A. Konchits has some worries about the defense as 22 goals have been conceded in these travels.
