Rukh will host Vitebsk in the 28th round of the Belarusian Championship. Will the guests be able to break the series of defeats?
"Rukh"
In the two previous rounds, Rukh scored only one point, losing 1-3 to Dinamo Minsk and playing 3-3 with Torpedo-BelAZ. Two misfires in a row led to the fact that the team from Brest significantly reduced the chances of finishing in the European Cup zone, five points behind the third position. The 1-0 victory over Neman in the 25th round is the only one in the four previous matches. At the moment, Rukh has 52 points and ranks fifth.
"Vitebsk"
The end of the season is also poorly conducted by Vitebsk, which lost motivation and dropped out of the fight for a place in the European Cup zone. On the eve of the 28th round, Vitebsk has 34 points and is in eighth position. In the four previous matches, Vitebsk went without victories, playing 2-2 with Energetik-BSU and losing alternately to Islochi (0-4), Smorgon (0-2) and Shakhtar Soligorsk (1-2). Theoretically, Vitebsk can still fall into the zone of play-off games, from which it broke away by seven points, and nine remain to play.
Statistics and figures:
- "Rukh" won in one match out of the last four;
- "Vitebsk" four rounds without wins;
- In the first round match, Rukh and Vitebsk played 0-0.
Forecast
"Rukh" is still fighting for the third place and is obliged to win in the upcoming meeting. Considering that Vitebsk is playing very badly, the hosts should not have any difficulties.
