Slavia form and stats

There's been little loot from Slavia's travels as they have only collected 8 points from 9 away games in the Vysshaya Liga. Slavia only have 2 wins to counter their 5 defeats and 2 draws.

Slavia failed to get anything from their last game, a Vysshaya Liga home match vs Shakhtyor (placed 1st) that ended with defeat 0-4. Slavia lost the plot completely in their previous game, as mentioned above. They need to recover quickly from that 0-4 beating and focus on this one.

Before that, Slavia travelled to Vitebsk and returned home with a draw after the game finished 2-2.

Slavia are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is one win, two draws and two defeats. From a total of five matches.

Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Slavia have scored 10 goals in 9 league games away. The Slavia manager M. Martsinovich has some worries about the defense as 18 goals have been conceded in these travels.
