Shakhtyor had a big win in midweek but still failed to make it into the final of the Belarus Cup. They return to league action and start the weekend in 11th place with a home game against second-placed Isloch Minsk. Shakhtyor came from 2-0 down to beat Dinamo Brest 4-2 in their cup semi-final second leg. That wasn't good enough though and the aggregate score of 4-4 saw them knocked out of the cup on away goals. League form has been inconsistent with two wins, two draws and two defeats. Their league games have been low-scoring ones with five scored and three conceded. Home form isn't going well with just one point from three home games and a single goal. They didn't score that solitary goal, it was scored by one of Slutsk's players when beating Shakhtyor 2-1. Shakhtyor have won their last two games but their opponents are in good form.

Isloch Minsk are second in the table, a point behind leaders FC Slutsk. Of their six games in the Belarus Premier League this season, five have been played at home with four victories. Their only away game was a 3-1 away loss at defending champions Dinamo Brest. The big question is therefore, how good are Isloch on their travels and will it hinder or help their title challenge? Three of their last five away league games have been lost, so it's an area in which they need to improve. A bet on under 2.5 goals in the game is the suggested wager for this match.
