Insights:
  • Shakhtyor have the most scored goals (55) in Vysshaya Liga

Shakhtyor have already won the league and the fans have gone wild! Even so, with the trophy already secured there could be issues regarding the team's motivation in this one. Belshina are staying put at 12th place whatever happens for the rest of the season.

It's no vacation for neither Shakhtyor nor Belshina 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.
