Gomel and Belshina will face off in the next match of the 18th round of the Belarusian championship. Will the hosts be able to extend the winning streak?
"Gomel"
Gomel completed the first round with one point scored, having played 0-0 with Energetik-BSU and lost 0-3 to Minsk, but at the start of the second round it is corrected. First, he took three points in the confrontation with Arsenal Dzerzhinsk (4-1), and then he turned out to be stronger than Slavia Mozyr (1-0). Two wins in a row allowed Gomel to rise to the seventh position and reduce the gap from the European Cup zone to three points. Moreover, Gomel returned to the fight for the championship, reducing the gap from BATE to five points. Belshina does not even dream of a championship, as its main task is to maintain a place in the Top League.
So far, she is coping with this, breaking away from life-threatening places by eight points. However, the extreme results cannot but disappoint. Belshina managed to score only one point in the four previous matches, having parted in peace with BATE (2-2), and before that, they lost alternately to Slavia Mozyr (0-2), Shakhtar Soligorsk (1-2) and Dnipro (3-4). Statistics and figures:
- Gomel has won two in a row; Belshina has not won for four rounds; Gomel won 3-2 in the first round.
In the first round match, Gomel had a hard time, but he won, and in the home game he should repeat the success, but in a more confident way.
