Dinamo Minsk host Belarusian Premier League leaders Slutsk at Dinamo Stadium on Saturday. The hosts should have plenty of confidence under new boss Leonid Kuchuk with a high scoring match expected.
In their recent H2H matches, Dinamo Minsk recorded 3 victories, while Slutsk won twice. Even though the visitors have recently recorded better results, the hosts are a far stronger team overall, and since they’ve been showing signs of improvement lately, I believe that they will eventually come out on top.
At their Tractor Stadium, Dinamo Minsk have won two of the three games played. After suffering a defeat in the opening weekend Rukh Brest (0-1), they have looked solid with a 2-0 over Torpedo Zhodino and Neman Grodno.
Slutsk, managed by Vitaliy Pavlov, have been the entertainers so far, scoring a league-high 12 goals but conceding eight in the process. They have upset the applecart a few times already and picked up two 3-2 victories, scoring late winners on both occasions.
- FC Slutsk have seen both teams score in five of their six Belarus Premier League games this season.
- Dinamo Minsk have only failed to score twice this term, but have only kept two clean sheets at the other end.
- The home side has won this fixture in six of the last seven meetings.
- Both league meetings between Dinamo Minsk and Slutsk last season ended 2-1 to the home side.
