Shakhtyor Soligorsk hosts Hibernians in the first leg of the Europa League qualification 1/8 finals. The match will be played on Thursday, July 11th at Stroitel Stadion (Soligorsk)
Shakhtyor has participated in the qualifying rounds of the Europa League for the eighth time in a row. But the team has never managed to get into the main draw. I mean the group stage. The highest achievement dates back to 2014, when the Miners advanced to the 4th, the last round, but faced Dutch PSV, which bet them with a 3-0 score on average. Shakhtyor is now in the top three of the local championship. The team confidently plays at home: 6 out of 8 matches were won, and only 1 defeat was recorded. And it scored more than one goal in half of those 8 matches.

Hibernians can be also called a frequenter of European Cup qualifications. Last year it didn’t participate there, but before that, it has played in qualifiers for 6 seasons in a row. However, the team never even passed the 1st round. It is unlikely to pass this time either.
The Belarusian Championship cannot be called either the top one or even such a middle one in Europe. But it depends on what to compare. If with the championship of Malta, and Hibernians represents this very country, then the championship of Belarus is super-top. And Shakhtyor (if it played in Malta would certainly have been the eternal champion as BATE in Belarus. Most likely, the Miners will win the home match against the Maltese. And they will try to gain a confident victory, so that a trip to Malta would turn into a colorful excursion. Well, the hosts are likely to score Hibernians at least 2 goals.
Prediction for the match: Shakhtyor Soligorsk to score over 1.5 goals
