Slavia form and stats

1-2-2 (win-draw-lost) are the Vysshaya Liga numbers at home for Slavia so far this season.

In their previous game, the manager Martsinovich led his Slavia to a defeat away at Ynergetyk-BDU. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Stadyen Junatsva. Slavia were outplayed and humiliated in their previous game, as mentioned in the paragraph above. They will need to reinstall their confidence before this one.

Before that, Slavia drew at home versus Neman Grodno.

This is expected to be a close game, with Slavia perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Slavia as a small favourite), we find 6 games. Slavia has won 3 of these, drawn 1 and lost 2.

The manager Martsinovich will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Molodechno-DYuSSh 4 in only three days.

The Slavia fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 7 in 5 matches. Slavia have conceded 9 from these games.
