An important duel in the bottom section of the Vysshaya Liga, with both Slutsk and Minsk experiencing more worry than joy. This match is a classic "six-pointer" with the home team placed 14th and the visitors in 11th place.
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
This stadium uses grass, unlike Minsk's home stadium. The visitors last 22 games on grass have ended in 4 wins, 4 draws and 14 losses.
Slutsk form and stats
With 3 Vysshaya Liga wins, 3 draws and 6 defeats from their home games, Slutsk, who have the fewest clean sheets (0) in Vysshaya Liga, are certainly not brimming with confidence. Regardless of arena the trend is looking very unhealthy for Slutsk with their six defeats in a row. Not since the Isloch game, 90 days ago, have they avoided a loss. With Slutsk having lost three times in a row here, the pressure is increasing on the manager A. Konchits.
Slutsk's previous game was also a home match, the defeat 1-4 versus Shakhtyor (placed 3rd). Heartbreak before that as Slutsk lost 0-5 at Ruh Brest's place.
Slutsk has scored 14 league goals at home this season, in 12 matches. Slutsk have conceded 18 from these games.
Minsk form and stats
There's been little loot from Minsk's travels as they have only collected 11 points from 12 away games in the Vysshaya Liga. Minsk only have 3 wins to counter their 7 defeats and 2 draws.
It's the second away game in a row for Minsk, but there's smiles all around after the 3-0 victory versus Ruh Brest (placed 6th) in the Belarusian Cup last time out. Before that, Minsk secured a home win against Smolevichy-STI with the score 2-1.
Minsk find the net regularly in their away games. 13 goals from 12 away fixtures in the league. Minsk's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 23 goals from these trips.
Head 2 Head
The teams have played each other before this season, with the result Minsk - Slutsk 1-0 entered in the official records. Numbers for the last ten meetings between these two teams are: three wins for Slutsk, one draw and six wins for Minsk. Over 2,5 goals: one time; under 2,5 goals: nine games.Top Goalscorers
