Smorgon form and stats
The home fans haven’t been spoiled with victories in the Vysshaya Liga this season. Smorgon have only managed 1 win, 2 draws and 5 losses from their games here at KFP Minsk Iskusstvennoe pole. The home team are struggling everywhere these days as they haven't won a league-game, regardless of being the home or the away team, in twelve attempts.
The Smorgon crowd went home unhappy last time out, seeing their beloved players lose 0-2 to Slavia here at KFP Minsk Iskusstvennoe pole in a Vysshaya Liga match.
Preceding that match was the home game against Isloch that was lost 1-2.Smorgon are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 8 goals in 8 games. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 14 goals have been conceded.
Shakhtyor form and stats
Rock solid. That's the only way to describe the travels of Shakhtyor so far, with 6-0-0 (wins-draws-losses) so far. Those are Vysshaya Liga statistics.
Shakhtyor might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Gomel (after extra-time) proved too strong as Shakhtyor slumped to a 1-2 defeat in front of their own fans at Stadyen Budaŭnik .
Ahead of that match was the victory versus Isloch at their stadium, the result 1-0.With an average of more than two away goals per league game away, Shakhtyor are regular goalscorers on their travels. It's worth mentioning that 6 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. It's not easy to score on Shakhtyor as they have only conceded 4 goals from these away games.
