Slavia Mozyr vs FC Minsk Predictions

• Slavia Mozyr are unbeaten at home in all competitions this season, winning three of their four matches.
• FC Minsk have lost seven of their last 10 Belarus Premier League away games.
• Six of these have been losses to nil, with four of them ending 1-0.

Slavia take heart from early season results

Slavia Mozyr’s unbeaten streak came to an abrupt end last weekend as a flurry of late goals saw them lose 2-1 away to Isloch, but there are plenty of positives they can take away from that game and the season as a whole so far.

They managed six shots on target away to Isloch, and prior to that were enjoying a four match unbeaten run in all competitions. This includes an impressive win over BATE in the first leg of their Belarus Cup semifinal, which came just over a week after another victory against the Belarusian heavyweights in the league.

Slavia Mozyr have won three of their last five outings in all competitions and there’s plenty of reason to think they cane improve on last season’s 8th place finish, which was actually their best season since 2001.

Minsk suffer downturn after promising start

FC Minsk are of a similar stature to their opponents having settled down into a regular mid-table spot since their most recent promotion to the top flight in 2009.

However, the visitors are coming into this clash on the back of three consecutive defeats in the Belarus Premier League. They have failed to score in each of these losses, conceding six goals in the process and pushing them down to 11th in the standings.

Two of these recent defeats came on their travels, continuing FC Minsk’s unenviable away record. They have won just two of their 18 league away days since the start of last season and have lost seven of their last 10.

Hosts can take all three points on Saturday

Slavia Mozyr, meanwhile, are unbeaten at home this season, winning three of their four competitive games at the Stadyen Junatsva. Considering Minsk’s recent losing streak, backing Slavia to take all three points looks very tempting at these odds.

Minsk’s goalscoring woes away from home aren’t just confined to this season. They have lost to nil in six of their last 10 away games and, with four of those being 1-0 scorelines and Slavia having kept three clean sheets in four home games this term, backing a 1-0 correct score prediction seems a good choice.
