On Friday afternoon, Isloch host Shakhter Soligorsk at the Stadyen Traktar in the Belarus Premier League, as the visitors look to maintain their lead at the top of the table.
Isloch head into this game fifth-place in the table, six points off the European spots, having played an extra game than third-place Neman Grodno.
The home side has endured a slightly inconsistent season in the Belarus top-flight. However, they seem to have found form of late, as Isloch have now won their last three matches in the Belarus top-flight while scoring at least twice in all three wins. Their latest victory was a 3-2 win at Vitebsk, their fifth straight league match that had produced over 2.5 goals.
Vitaly Zhukovskiy’s team has a mixed recent home record, as although they are unbeaten in three league games Isloch have won just one of their previous four league outings on home soil. They have been relatively prolific on home soil of late, as they have scored at least twice in five of their last seven home games in the Belarus top-flight.
Shakhter are in a very promising position in the table, as they are currently three points clear at the top of the table after a good recent run of form in the Belarus Premier League.
Yuriy Vernydub’s team are unbeaten in 16 games in the league. More recently Shakhter have won five of their last six outings, including recording three straight league wins.
A 1-0 home win last time out in the league means that the visitors have kept clean sheets in their previous four matches in the Belarus Premier League.
Shakhter are unbeaten this season on their travels in the league, although six of their ten away matches in the top-flight have finished in draws.
Forebet predicts that Shakhter will record a victory in a low-scoring clash to boost their hopes of winning the Belarus Premier League title.
