This game stars two contenders residing in the lower parts of the Vysshaya Liga, Ynergetyk-BDU holding 11th spot and Slavia in 14th. A decent opportunity for one of the teams to boost their position.

Insights:
  • Ynergetyk-BDU is in the worst form (0-3-3)
  • Slavia have played more matches over 2,5 goals away than home.

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.

Slavia play their home matches on grass, while this fixture is played on artifical turf. Recent statistics for Slavia when playing on artifical turf are 7 wins, 2 draws and 5 defeats from 14 matches. They have managed to score 22 goals and conceded 17 times on these occasions.

Relegation threatens Ynergetyk-BDU who should definitely be looking for some points here. Slavia are fighting to avoid relegation and will work hard for points.
