The Belarus Premier League continues on the weekend with several fixtures to look forward to including the meeting between FK Gorodeya and Dinamo Minsk.
This is an important game for both teams as they look to kick start their season. FK Gorodeya are the hosts and begin the weekend in 14th place on 3 points while Dinamo Minsk are just one place above them on the same number of points.
FK Gorodeya come into the match having picked up their first victory of the season away from home at Belshina last Friday. The 1-0 win was important as they had lost their previous two games. The first defeat came at Vitebsk and the second loss was 2-0 at home against Shakhtyor.
Including games at the end of last season, trends show that FK Gorodeya have won only 1 of their last 6 Belarus Premier League matches. They have tasted defeat in defeat in 4 of their last 5 league games and have been struggling to score goals. In fact, FK Gorodeya have failed to find the back of the net in 4 of their last 6 league matches.
They have lost each of their last 2 home games and have won only 2 of their last 7 league matches at the Stadion Gorodeya. Only once in those 7 games have they managed to score more than a single goal.
Dinamo Minsk make the trip to Gorodeya having picked up their first victory of the season at home against Torpedo BelAZ last weekend. It was a 2-0 win against a team which had won their previous two matches making it a good result. Prior to that win, Dinamo Minsk failed to pick up a point in their first 2 league games of the season, losing 1-0 at home against Ruh Brest and losing 3-2 away to Minsk in the derby.
Following on from last season, trends show that Dinamo Minsk have won just 2 of their last 12 league games. They have lost 4 of their last 5 including each of their last 3 away from home. In fact, Dinamo Minsk have failed to win any of their last 6 away league matches, drawing 3 and losing 3. There have been over 2.5 goals in their last 3 away games and Dinamo Minsk struggle to keep clean sheets.
Team news and FK Gorodeya will be hoping strikers Sergey Arkhipov and Artem Arkhipov can get off the mark for the season. Lazar Sajčić should start in midfield.
Dinamo Minsk will start with Evgeni Shikavka up-front and promising 21 year old Belarus international Ivan Bakhar in midfield.
This should be a very tight contest with both teams scoring and it could go either way. However, if Dinamo Minsk can perform to their best, they could win the game by a single goal margin.
