Smolevichi Preview – Can Smolevichi break their duck?
It’s been a tough return to the Belarus top flight so far for Sunday’s hosts, Smolevichi, who find themselves sitting second from bottom in the Vysshaya Liga with just 1 point to their name following last season’s triumphant promotion-winning campaign from the 1.Division.
A 1-1 draw away from home at last season’s title winners, Dinamo Brest, handed Smolevichi an impressive point to start their season off in positive fashion but Sunday’s hosts have since slumped to back-to-back defeats against Isloch Minsk and Vitebsk respectively.
A 1-0 loss on the road at Isloch was followed by last weekend’s 1-0 defeat at home to Vitebsk and although they hold home advantage again for this upcoming clash against Shakhtyor, there’s no guarantees for the home side who have now failed to win any of their last 11 matches in the Belarus top flight.
Shakhtyor Soligorsk Preview – Can Shakhtyor continue recovery?
Sunday’s visitors, Shakhtyor Soligorsk, were held to a 0-0 draw at home by Neman Grodno in last weekend’s Vysshaya Liga action but nevertheless this assisted Shakhtyor with another point to their tally of 4 from their first three matches of the new season.
Shakhtyor’s domestic top flight campaign started in disappointing fashion as they were dealt a 1-0 defeat at home by Torpedo Zhodino but the visitors have since responded in promising style as they gained a welcome 2-0 win away from home at Gorodeya and then followed that up with the aforementioned point against Neman Grodno.
With just 1 defeat out of their last 9 matches overall in the Vysshaya Liga and just 2 losses from their last 11 matches on their travels, Shakhtyor Soligorsk look set to get something out of this trip against one of the early strugglers in the Belarus top flight on Sunday.
