An important duel in the bottom section of the Vysshaya Liga, with both Slutsk and Gorodeya experiencing more worry than joy. This match is a classic "six-pointer" with the home team placed 14th and the visitors in 13th place.
There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.
Relegation threatens Slutsk who should definitely be looking for some points here. Gorodeya are fighting to avoid relegation and will work hard for points.
Slutsk form and stats
Slutsk, who have the fewest clean sheets (1) in Vysshaya Liga, have played 13 Vysshaya Liga games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 4-3-6 (wins-draws-losses).
A strong away win for Slutsk against Ynergetyk-BDU the last match, as Dmitri Sasin (2) were on target. A defeat was the result before that one, 1-4 away at Torpedo BelAZ.
Slutsk are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 16 goals in 13 games. Slutsk have conceded 19 in these home matches.
Gorodeya form and stats
There's been little loot from Gorodeya's travels as they have only collected 11 points from 13 away games in the Vysshaya Liga. Gorodeya only have 3 wins to counter their 8 defeats and 2 draws.
193 minutes! That's how long the Gorodeya goalkeeper and his defense have shut out their league opponents.
Mikhail Shibun, Jamal Dibirgadzhiev and Didine Djouhary scored in Gorodeya's previous match, the home game against Smolevichy-STI that ended 4-0. Preceding that game was the away victory against Neman Grodno with the score of 1-0.
As mentioned above, Gorodeya was the only team on the pitch versus Smolevichy-STI in their previous game, winning 4-0. This could be a tougher task.
