Belshina Preview – Can Belshina make home advantage count?
Saturday’s hosts, Belshina, will take a solid point earned on the road in a 1-1 draw at Neman Grodno into this upcoming clash against Smolevichi as the home side look to pick up their first win of this season’s new campaign in the Vysshaya Liga.
It hasn’t been the brightest of starts for Belshina in the Belarus top flight following last season’s triumphant campaign in the 1.Division which saw the hosts secure automatic promotion and the second tier title as they suffered 3 defeats on the trot in the domestic top flight.
Losses to FC Minsk, Torpedo Zhodino and Gorodeya set them back somewhat, but their recent draw at Neman Grodno might spark them into life here. 2 of Belshina’s last 3 matches overall have seen both teams fail to score while 6 of their last 9 home matches in the Vysshaya Liga have also resulted in one team not scoring.
Smolevichi Preview – Can Smolevichi hold their own?
Fellow automatically promoted team, Smolevichi, are also finding life a little tough in the Belarus top flight as they’ve fared marginally better than their hosts to date, capturing 2 points from their first four matches of this new Vysshaya Liga campaign.
An opening day 1-1 draw away from home at last season’s Vysshaya Liga title holders, Dinamo Brest, was a commendable result but they were unable to build upon that encouraging start as the visitors slumped to back-to-back defeats against Isloch Minsk 1-0 away and a 1-0 loss at home to Vitebsk.
A 0-0 stalemate at home with Shakhtyor Soligorsk in last weekend’s action saw Smolevichi steady the ship and they’ll be hoping that they can get something from this upcoming trip to Belshina. However, goals could be in short supply here as 3 of their 4 matches to date have seen 1 goal or less scored.
