An important duel in the bottom section of the Vysshaya Liga, with both Smolevichy-STI and Minsk experiencing more worry than joy. This match is a classic "six-pointer" with the home team placed 16th and the visitors in 12th place.
We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
Smolevichy-STI form and stats
Smolevichy-STI's struggle is real here at Stadion Ozernyj with only 11 points collected from 11 Vysshaya Liga games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 3-2-6. Regardless of arena the trend is looking very unhealthy for Smolevichy-STI with their six defeats in a row. Not since the Isloch game, 74 days ago, have they avoided a loss. Smolevichy-STI are very eager to stop a potential losing streak at Stadion Ozernyj, having lost their two previous games here.
The Smolevichy-STI fans got no joy from their last match, a Vysshaya Liga game also here at Stadion Ozernyj: A 0-6 defeat against Ruh Brest (placed 6th). Heartbreak before that as Smolevichy-STI lost 2-5 at BATE's place.
Smolevichy-STI were outplayed and humiliated in their previous game, as mentioned in the paragraph above. They will need to reinstall their confidence before this one.
Smolevichy-STI has scored 16 league goals at home this season, in 11 matches. Goals are flowing in at the wrong end for Smolevichy-STI with 26 goals conceded in these matches.
Minsk form and stats
Minsk have only collected 8 points from their away games in the Vysshaya Liga, after 2-2-7 (11 played).
Minsk play their second straight away game, having lost the previous one 0-2 to Neman Grodno (placed 3rd). A home win before that, celebrating 3-0 vs Gorodeya.
Many goals are not expected from the visiting Minsk as they have only managed to score 9 times from 11 away games in the league. The Minsk manager V. Skripchenko has some worries about the defense as 23 goals have been conceded in these travels.
Head 2 Head
As for the last three games between these two teams, there's zero Smolevichy-STI victories, two draws and one Minsk win. Over/under statistics; zero of these games ended with three goals or more, three matches with two goals or less.Smolevichy-STI missing players
