Shakhtyor vs Slutsk Match Preview

Shakhtyor have only won one league match so far. They failed to get anything better than an away bore draw against weak Smolevichi in their most recent game. Definitely, they can do it better, starting winning their home games. 

L.Shindagoridze sustained a knee injury in last round’s match and will not be available. N.Antic is a doubt for Friday’s match as he has not fully recovered from his injury.

Slutsk have been doing very well so far this season, probably better than anyone could expect. They are only defeated by the current Belarusian champions Dynamo Brest. In their most recent game they shared points with Vitebsk.

Winger M.Buraev is again in contention after missing last round’s match because of suspension. Russian defender S.Takulov, who missed last time, is a doubtful.

Despite their mediocre start, Shakhtyor are the favourites to get all three points in this one. They have won 5 of their last 6 matches against FK Slutsk in all competitions. In their 3 most recent 2h2 games, Shakhtyor have been winning in both half time and full time. Exactly this is going to be my tip here, Shakhtyor to win Half Time / Full Time.
