Shakhtar Soligorsk
The reigning champions will be trying to make amends for an offensive defeat in the first leg. In Zhodzina, the result was decided by a late goal lost in the 95th minute, which complicated the task for the Pitmans. For various reasons, head coach Alexei Baga made 3 changes to the starting lineup from the previous Super Bowl game, which weakened the team’s competitiveness.
The return of these players is expected in the upcoming match.
It is also worth noting that Shakhtar did a lot of selection work in the winter transfer window. Many new players have arrived, and the most significant changes have been made to the backline, which has visibly rejuvenated.
BelAZ torpedo
Torpedo BelAZ finished last season in 8th place in the standings with 43 points from 30 rounds. Prior to the start of the current championship, the top central defenders left the team and were replaced by less experienced players.
In the pre-season, Avtozavodtsy made glaring collective and individual mistakes in defense, and the control game with Isloch (1:3) only revealed the existing problems.
The first match “Torpedo BelAZ” won with the score 2:1 and with high probability will try to bet on the result.
Forecast
Both teams struggle when playing close to their own goal due to the low level of interaction of newcomers. I think that Torpedo BelAZ will not be able to play pragmatically, they are preparing to strengthen the starting line-up of Shakhtar.
