Only a win will satisfy the Torpedo BelAZ supporters in this clash with Minsk, having a healthy lead on the opposition in the Vysshaya Liga table.
Torpedo BelAZ and Minsk should both be in good shape for this meeting, as there's been enough days for both of them to train and rest since their last matches.
One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on grass and that the visiting Minsk have a different surface at their stadium (artifical turf). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on grass is 5-5-15 (win-draw-loss) from 25 matches.
Torpedo BelAZ form and stats
The home supporters can't complain about results here as Torpedo BelAZ have scored 13 goals to get 20 points from 10 games. The overall stats in the Vysshaya Liga are 6-2-2 (wins-draws-losses).
Torpedo drew their last game, 3-3 away at Ruh Brest (placed 7th). Before that, Torpedo had a home game versus BATE which ended with a victory 3-2.
As you can tell by the result above, the goals flowed freely in the previous game and the stadium rocked. Could there be another goal fest today?
Torpedo has scored 13 league goals at home this season, in 10 matches. 10 goals have been conceded.
Minsk form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Minsk so far with only 7 points returning home. The records show 2-1-6 (win-draw-lose). A depressing four defeats in a row for Minsk in their away games. Unhappy days, as the last time they avoided a loss on the road was versus Gorodeya.
Minsk have been frustrated by their lack of goals lately, as they haven't scored in the league since they found the net 219 minutes ago. A. Zaleski was the goal scorer.
Minsk failed to get anything from their last game, a Vysshaya Liga home match vs Ruh Brest (placed 7th) that ended with defeat 0-1. Prior to that match, the Minsk manager V. Skripchenko faced defeat when travelling to BATE and losing 0-6.
Many goals are not expected from the visiting Minsk as they have only managed to score 8 times from 9 away games in the league. The Minsk manager V. Skripchenko has some worries about the defense as 20 goals have been conceded in these travels.
Head 2 Head
The last H2H meeting was Minsk - Torpedo 2-5, played this season. Head-to-head totals (for the last ten meetings): Torpedo won two games, six matches ended with a draw and Minsk has two wins. Over 2,5 goals / under 2,5 goals: two / eightTop Goalscorers
