Shakhtyor Soligorsk hosts Slutsk in round 5 of Belarusian Vysshaya Liga. The match will be played on Friday, April 17th at Stroitel Stadion (Soligorsk)
After four rounds played in the championship, the Miners have only five points with an interesting goal difference of 2-1. And Shakhtyor takes only the 12th line in the standings. And this is a bronze medalist of the last championship, which sets itself the task of a higher place on the podium in this championship. To do this, the management invited a rather good coach from Ukraine, Yuri Vernidub. But he deceives expectations so far. For example, there was only a draw against the penultimate Smolevichi in the last round.

Slutsk, on the contrary, pleases its fans at the start of the championship. The White-Blues have already scored seven points. They are in the top five and demonstrate wide-open and interesting football. The goal difference is 7-5.
I will immediately refuse to search for a winner. But the exchange of goals scored is quite possible. Yes, Shakhtyor cannot boast of goal extravaganza now. It does not score and does not allow its opponents to do it. Yes, one of the teams did not score in four of the last five head-to-head meetings. But the current game of Slutsk inclines me to such an outcome. The men of Pavlov do not look at the status of the opponent. For example, they hosted leading Vitebsk in the last round and tied, but the draw was productive (1-1). Slutsk tries to attack. And as we see, it succeeds. The team failed to score only the current champion, Brest Dynamo. But at the same time, Slutsk does not have the necessary quality of the game in defense. I think the visitors will go ahead often and will be able to breach even such a strong defense as the Miners have. But Slutsk is unlikely to keep a clean sheet once again. Therefore, I suggest taking risks and betting on the exchange of goals.
Prediction for the match: Both teams to score - yes
