  • Smorgon have the most conceded goals (6) away in Vysshaya Liga

There haven't been much time to rest for the hosts, as they played a Belarusian Cup match only four days ago. At least it's nice to return home after that away game at Neman Grodno.

Shakhtyor form and stats

As mentioned below, Shakhtyor are feasting on a winning streak here so far with maximum points from their first 2 Vysshaya Liga games.

Ahead of that match, Shakhtyor won a home game hosting Isloch (4-0).

It would be a shock if the hosts fail to win this game. Let's see how Shakhtyor have performed as huge favourites like they are today: six games found in the database showing four Shakhtyor wins, one draw and one defeat.

Shakhtyor has scored 5 goals so far and conceded 0 goals from 2 home games. These are numbers from the league only.

Smorgon form and stats

Still no away game victory in the Vysshaya Liga for Smorgon, who have the most conceded goals (6) away in Vysshaya Liga, with 1 draw and 2 losses from their first 3 attempts.

A 0-3 defeat away at Ynergetyk-BDU before that.

Smorgon are huge outsiders in this game. Running a check in our games database we found 30 matches where they were as big outsiders as an away team. Results were six wins, seven draws and 17 defeats. Of the defeats, twelve games were lost by at least two goals margin.

Smorgon are seemingly not capable of scoring regularly on their travels in the league. They have only managed 1 goal from 3 away games. For Smorgon, more than two goals on average per game end up in their own net.

Head 2 Head

Head-to-head totals (for the last six meetings): Shakhtyor won four games, one match ended with a draw and Smorgon has one win. Over 2,5 goals / under 2,5 goals: three / three
