Shakhtyor to register comfortable win over Slutsk
Shakhter Soligorsk vs FK Slutsk - 17/04/2020
3116
Despite picking up just one win to date in this season’s new Belarus top flight campaign, Friday’s hosts, Shakhtyor Soligorsk, will be in reasonably confident mood that they can not only extend their unbeaten run in the Vysshaya Liga to four matches, but also grab all three points against Slutsk in this encounter.
Following a disappointing opening day 1-0 defeat at home to Torpedo Zhodino, Shakhtyor have since made a recovery in the Belarus top flight with a 2-0 win away from home at Gorodeya along with recent back-to-back draws with Neman Grodno and Smolevichi.
However, goals have been few and far between where Shakhtyor have been concerned as their first four matches of this new Vysshaya Liga season has produced just 3 goals to date, 2 of which came when they registered the aforementioned 2-0 win at Gorodeya.
Each of Shakhtyor Soligorsk’s last three home matches have also resulted in under 2.5 goals while previous encounters against Friday’s visitors, Slutsk, have seen 10 of the last 14 meetings between the two sides produce under 2.5 goals as well.
Although they gained a point in their recent 1-1 draw at home with Vitebsk on the weekend, Slutsk have dropped down to 3rd place in the early Vysshaya Liga standings and may perhaps rue the fact that they missed out on taking all three points which would have handed the visitors back-to-back wins.
Slutsk had previously recorded a 3-2 win away from home at Isloch Minsk which has been their only outing on the road so far in this season’s Belarus top flight campaign as they’ve played three of their four matches to date at their Stadyen Haradski.
Results away from home have been either feast or famine for Slutsk in recent times as they’ve won 5 but lost 4 of their last 9 matches on their travels in the Vysshaya Liga, while 8 of Slutsk’s last 14 matches overall on the road have also yielded less than 3 goals.
Shakhtyor Soligorsk have been held to two goal-less draws on the trot in recent weeks in the Belarus top flight and goals have been scarce so far in their matches while Slutsk also head into this upcoming encounter on the back of a low-scoring draw with Vitebsk.
This could therefore be a low-scoring encounter.
