Slavia form and stats

Slavia have collected 17 points from their Vysshaya Liga home games so far after 4-5-3.

A strong away win before that one, visiting Neman Grodno and winning 2-1.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Slavia have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found six games) they have won two times, drawn three and lost one.

Some members of the home team might already be thinking of their next match, the Vysshaya Liga game versus Dinamo Minsk in only four days. This game is also played here.

Slavia are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 15 goals in 12 games. Slavia's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 16 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.

Belshina form and stats

There's been little loot from Belshina's travels as they have only collected 12 points from 13 away games in the Vysshaya Liga. Belshina only have 3 wins to counter their 7 defeats and 3 draws.

Preceding that game, the 1-3 loss visiting Dinamo Minsk's place.

As you can see from the result above, the defeat against Shakhtyor was particularly ugly (1-5). The humiliation is still top of mind.

We have checked recent matches where Belshina have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those four games were zero victories, two draws and two defeats.

The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting Ynergetyk-BDU in just four days.

Belshina have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 13 league away games 15 goals have been scored. Belshina struggle to build an impenetrable defensive wall in away matches with a total of 23 goals conceded from these games.

Head 2 Head

This is the result when the teams met earlier this season; Belshina - Slavia 2-3. Last ten meetings between the teams: Slavia won three, Belshina won five and two draws. five games with over 2,5 goals, five matches with two goals or less.
