Smorgon form and stats

M. Baranovskiy (own goal) was the last player to score a league goal for Smorgon and it's becoming a more and more distant memory as Smorgon haven't scored in 188 minutes.

Heartbreak before that as Smorgon lost 0-3 at Shakhtyor's place.

Smorgon were outplayed and humiliated in their previous game, as mentioned in the paragraph above. They will need to reinstall their confidence before this one.

Sputnik form and stats

Things could have gone better for Sputnik in their Vysshaya Liga away matches, but 3 points from 2 games is all right.

Home advantage was not enough for Sputnik in their previous game, as they lost their Vysshaya Liga-match, hosting Isloch, 1-5. Ahead of that match was the victory versus Ynergetyk-BDU at their stadium, the result 1-0.

Sputnik lost the plot completely in their previous game, as mentioned above. They need to recover quickly from that 1-5 beating and focus on this one.

1 goal so far away for Sputnik, while their defence has allowed the opposition to score 2. All from 2 league matches away.

Head 2 Head

Numbers for the last ten meetings between these two teams are: five wins for Smorgon, three draws and two wins for Sputnik. Over 2,5 goals: five times; under 2,5 goals: five games.
