Struggling Smolevichy-STI will be hoping to pull off an upset when they welcome high-flying Neman Grodno in the upcoming league round. It’s 16th vs 4th and the home crowd will have moderate expectations.

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.

For Smolevichy-STI relegation is already certain this season. Only divine intervention and/or time travel can save them and neither look likely. Grodno are still fighting for top positions and their benefits.

Smolevichy-STI form and stats

With 3 Vysshaya Liga wins, 2 draws and 8 defeats from their home games, Smolevichy-STI, who have the most conceded goals (65) in Vysshaya Liga, are certainly not brimming with confidence. All in all it has been a very rough period for Smolevichy-STI who hasn’t won a league-game in their last eleven attempts. Their previous win was against Isloch, 119 days ago. The home stadium (Stadion Ozernyj) is supposed to be a fortress, but for Smolevichy-STI it's been a house of straw as the last four games here have all been lost. Can they turn things around?

The fans are hoping that Smolevichy-STI will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 0-4 away loss in the Vysshaya Liga game against Gorodeya (placed 13th). Preceding that match was a defeat to Torpedo BelAZ (1-4).

As you see from the result above, Smolevichy-STI suffered greatly in their last game. Thankfully the team has a new chance to prove themselves in this one.

The Smolevichy-STI fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 17 in 13 matches. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. As for conceded goals, Smolevichy-STI's unpleasant statistic is 34 goals surrendered.
