There are two matches to enjoy in the Belarus Premier League on Friday the 8th of May. The second of which takes place at the Stadyen Sakharnik as FK Gorodeya host FK Minsk. The home team begin the weekend in 10th place with 10 points while the visitors are in 12th place on 9 points, so there is all to play for in the match.
FK Gorodeya come into this game having previously picked up a point in a 1-1 draw at Ruh Brest. It was a decent result against the team who are currently just one point behind them. It followed a home 2-0 defeat at the hands of BATE Borisov.
Prior to the loss against BATE Borisov, FK Gorodeya enjoyed a run of 3 successive wins in the Belarus Premier League. They beat Belshina and Energetyk-BGU 1-0 away from home and defeated Dinamo Minsk 1-0 at home. Those 3 wins are the only victories achieved so far this season by FK Gorodeya, which means they have won only once in front of their own fans.
Trends show that they have not been overly exciting to watch in recent games and there have been under 2.5 goals scored in FK Gorodeya's last 8 league matches. They have managed to score more than a single goal only once in their last 9 home Belarus Premier League games, which is a poor record. FK Gorodeya have also lost 3 of their last 4 on home soil.

FK Minsk have been struggling in recent matches and have won only one of their last 5 games in the Belarus Premier League. The sole victory in those 5 games came two weeks ago as they defeated Slavia 3-1 away from home. It was a good result considering the opposition are currently above them in the table but FK Minsk lost each of the other 4 matches.
The defeats came at home against BATE Borisov and Torpedo BelAZ, the latter of which was a heavy 5-2 loss in their most recent game. FK Minsk have also lost 2-0 at Energetyk-BGU and 1-0 at Ruh Brest.
Trends show FK Minsk have achieved just 3 wins in their 19 most recent away games in the Belarus Premier League. However, they are undefeated in 3 of their last 5 on the road including 2 away victories this season.
Team news and FK Gorodeya may look to make some changes in attack as they have been struggling to score goals. Rostislav Shavel and Artem Arkhipov will be hoping to get the nod.
FK Minsk have been scoring plenty of goals but their main concern comes in defence. Expect to see changes at the back following the 5 goals conceded at home last weekend.
We are not expecting to see a huge number of goals in this game as FK Minsk try to tighten things up in defence. If they manage to do so, they have the ability to score the goals to win the game and we could see an away win with under 2.5 goals scored.
