FC Slutsk are top of the Belarus Premier League with a two-point lead over Zhodino. They look to keep top spot when hosting Energetik who are fourth and would close to within a point of the leaders with a win here. Slutsk have 16 points from their seven league fixtures and have won their last three in a row. The weekend saw them win 2-1 at Dinamo Minsk but their opponents missed a first-half penalty. Slutsk may be top of the table with five wins out of seven but they are yet to keep a clean sheet this season and both teams have scored in each of their last five games. Home form has seen them earn seven points out of 12 but they have only won one of the last three on home soil.

Energetik were top of the Belarus Premier League a few weeks ago. They won their first three league games of the new season but then lost the next three to slip down to eighth. They needed to get back into winning ways and did that when beating Smolevichi (currently one from bottom in the league) 2-0 away at the weekend. That looks a good win but the second goal didn't come until a penalty was converted in the 95th minute. Their away form is patchy with two wins and two draws and the tip here is to put a bet on both teams to score.
