Rukh Brest FC vs FC Minsk
18^th April 2020 at 06:30 PM IST
Venue: Yunost Stadium, Brest

Preview:

Rukh Brest FC and FC Minsk find themselves in the bottom half of the league table as they approach Round 2 of Belarus Premier League. FC Minsk is in a spot of bother after conceding 8 goals so far and their 6 goals have not been fruitful in lifting them among high scoring teams. This will be the first-ever head to head match between these two teams.

Expected playing XI:

Rukh Brest FC:

Aleksandr Nechaev, Vitali Gayduchik, Oleksii Kovtun, William, Oleksandr Mihunov, Ilya Kolpachuk, Denis Grechikho, Artem Kontsevoj, Chidi Osuchukwu, Sergey Tikhonovskiy, Artem Petrenko

FC Minsk:

Artem Leonov, Dmytro Ryzhuk, Aleksey Zaleskiy, Yevhenii Chahovets, Dmitri Prishchepa, Oleksandr Vasyliev, Vladimir Khvashchinski, Anton Shramchenko, Vladislav Nasibulin, Yaroslav Yarotski, Roman Gribovskiy

Key stats:

• There have been under 3 goals in Rukh Brests last 3 Premier League games
• In their 17 most recent away matches of Premier League, FK Minsk have achieved just 2 wins

Key players:

1. Vladislav Vasiljev (RKH) – Vasiljev is a Kazakh mid-fielder who has joined Rukh Brest on loan from champions Dinamo Brest in Feb this year, 6 months after securing a permanent move from Energetik. In the last game against Slavia-Mozyr, he missed a sitter at the end or could have helped his team take home important 3 points. He has a career total of 14 goals and 8 assists and is a good pick from this side
2. Ilya Kolpachuk (RKH) – Kolpachuk is a defender from Brest who we believe can be a good pick for this game, given that Minsk has failed to score in the past 2 games in the league. Kolpachuk was in the Dream11 dream team in the last game as well and is a good asset who operates as right wing-back. In his career spanning 72 games, he has 3 goals and 3 assists to his name
3. Uladzimir Khvashchynski (MSK) – Minsk has been struggling past 2 games and have just not been able to get past the line, conceding 5 goals in the process. Khvashchynski still continues to be the prime pick from this team. In his 4 games in the league so far, he has 2 goals and an assist. A turn-around for Minsk is around the corner and we believe Khvashchynski will be at the fore-front when that happens. A Potential captain/vice-captain pick from this side
4. Yevgeni Chagovets (MSK) – Chagovets is a Minsk centre-back who moved last July from Ukraine side Shakhtar II. A defender from Minsk is a worthy captain/vice-captain pick from this game as Rukh Brest have failed to score in the last 3 games. Chagovets also has an eye for goal, with him opening his account this season in GW2, taking his tally to 3 goals in 18 games for Minsk. A must-have for all your fantasy teams

Captain / vice-captain picks:

• Vladislav Vasiljev (RKH)
• Ilya Kolpachuk (RKH)
• Uladzimir Khvashchynski (MSK)
• Yevgeni Chagovets (MSK)
