Shakhtyor Soligorsk vs Torpedo Zhodino
Belarus – Premier League
Date: Thursday, 19 March 2020
Kick-off at 16:00 UK/ 17:00 CET
Venue: Stroitel Stadium.
The Miners had finished 20 points above Yuri Puntus’s men the last season, and qualified to the Europa League as well. On top of that, the former have been supremely dominant in h2h clashes too. Likely, expect a comfortable win for Shakhtyor Soligorsk this Thursday.
The Miners finished considerably far above in the table than Puntus’s men the last season, and in the process, they came in possession of the last Europa League ticket from the country .
This surplus experience, and the fact that they are much more accustomed to high-pressure situations will surely act favorable to the Miners. Moreover, they are at home, and they have not lost a single official game at this venue since May of 2019. On the other hand, their opposite number are on a four-match losing run.
Not only that, but Puntus’s men had failed to score in all four of these match-ups, and they were winless in 15 of their preceding 18 overall fixtures. And on the road, the last they recorded a win was back in September.
Furthermore, the Miners have a phenomenal h2h record against this opponent over the past two decades, and especially so at this venue.
Considering all these observations, it’s deduced that Shakhtyor Soligorsk are about to record a convincing win at the Stroitel Stadium.
