Slavia Mozyr vs Zhodino Match Preview

Slavia Mozyr returned to winning ways in the previous round, after a bad streak of three consecutive defeats. Ather winning 3-2 against Vitebsk, they reached the 7th place of the table, having a total of ten points, after seven games played since the beginning of the season.

One of their crucial midfielder players, A. Chukhley, who did not compete in the previous game, remains doubtful for today's game as well. Unavailable is also A. Anufriev who did not overcome his injury yet.

Torpedo Zhodino prevailed 5-2 over FC Minsk and extended their undefeated streak to 4 games. With 14 points after the first 7 rounds of the season, Zhodino's side remains in the 2nd place of the table, heading to overtake Slutsk for the first place, which lost their match a day earlier.

I. Kukarchik and K. Leonovich remain injured and are not in the squad for the game against Slavia Mozyr. On the other hand, available again are Y. Pavkyukovets, M. Afanasyev, and V. Shcherbo coming from injuries, and it's a last minute decision who will be included in the first eleven.

Torpedo Zodino are the favorites in this game, based on the image of the two teams so far. Zhodino has an excellent history playing in Mozyr, having prevailed in the last 5 games played there for any competition. I think they could extend this streak by winning once again. However, the much 'safer' away win DNB is my final call.
