Slutsk Preview – Can Slutsk continue good start?
Despite their recent 1-0 defeat at home to Dinamo Brest, Saturday’s hosts, Slutsk, made an immediate recovery by bouncing back with a 3-2 win away from home at Isloch Minsk in last weekend’s impressive victory on the road.
Defeat to Dinamo Brest was sandwiched by an opening day of the season 3-1 home win against Slavia Mozyr as well as the aforementioned win at Isloch, while the bigger picture shows that Slutsk have won 4 of their last 5 matches overall in the Vysshaya Liga.
Slutsk have lost just 2 of their last 6 matches on home turf at their Stadyen Haradski which were against last season’s runners-up, BATE, along with this season’s loss to the current title holders, Dinamo Brest but they’ve also drawn with Slavia and Gorodeya as well as picking up wins over Neman Grodno and Slavia.
In addition, Slutsk recorded a 3-0 win over Saturday’s opponents, Vitebsk, in their previous meeting at home back in August of last year.
Vitebsk Preview – Can Vitebsk win back-to-back?
Saturday’s visitors, Vitebsk, have also made a promising start to this new Belarus top flight campaign as they’ve picked up 2 wins from their opening 3 matches with victories over Gorodeya 1-0 at home and a 1-0 win on the road at newcomers, Smolevichi, in last weekend’s win.
It’s certainly been an encouraging start to this new season for the visitors who narrowly avoided the dreaded relegation play-off position by just a single point at the end of the last campaign, but they’ll need to improve results away from home this term if they’re to avoid a repeat of last season’s nervous run-in.
3 defeats from their last 4 matches on their travels underlines Vitebsk’s vulnerability away from home and includes losses at Dnyapro, Dinamo Brest and Neman Grodno, so they face a tough trip to Slutsk this Saturday.
