Slutsk will host Gomel in the 23rd round of the Belarusian championship. Will the guests prolong the winning move?
"Slutsk"
"Slutsk" continues to fight for survival and so far does not do it very convincingly, but retains a gap from the relegation zone in the form of seven points. In the previous two rounds, Slutsk scored four points, beating Slavia Mozyr 2-1, and also drew 0-0 with Dynamo Brest. Two rounds ago, "Slutsk" lost on its own field to "Vitebsk" with a score of 1-2 and this defeat is the only one in the five previous rounds.
"Gomel"
But "Gomel" solves more prestigious tasks, fighting for a place in the European Cup zone. For the dreams to become a reality, the club needs to finish at least in fourth place, which is four points behind. In the final third of the championship, Gomel got down to business very timely and achieved three consecutive victories, beating Dynamo Minsk (2-0), Torpedo-BelAZ (1-0) and Vitebsk (4-1) in turn.
Statistics and figures:
- "Slutsk" lost in one match out of the previous five;
- Gomel has won in the last three rounds;
- In the first round match, Gomel won 4-1.
Forecast
In the first round, Gomel defeated Slutsk with a score of 4-1, I expect to see something similar in the reporting battle, since Gomel is on the move and is eager to enter European competitions, and Slutsk performs modestly, being near the relegation zone.
