Naftan — Isloch : Match Preview and Prediction for August 29,2025

Naftan’s Recent Form and Struggles

“Naftan” has significantly declined in performance recently. Igor Kriushenko’s team currently occupies a disappointing 13th position in the championship table and has been unable to produce any notable results. The hosts have suffered defeats in three of their last four matches. Most recently, the club from Novopolotsk fell to “Vitebsk” (0:2). In that game, the “white-blues” managed only two shots on target against the favorite, which is a very poor offensive output. It’s crucial to note that Naftan also had a player sent off: striker Leonovich, who had previously scored two goals against Vitebsk, will now be unavailable. In my opinion, the loss of this player is highly significant for their starting lineup. Furthermore, the club has conceded 32 goals this season, highlighting that Kriushenko’s defense is far from their strongest asset.

Isloch’s Impressive Run of Form

In contrast, “Isloch” has been impressive with their recent results. Dmitry Komarovsky’s team has secured victories in their last three matches, boasting an aggregate score of 6:0. It’s clear that the visitors’ attack is functioning effectively, and their defense is well-equipped to withstand pressure from any opponent. In the previous round, the Minsk side convincingly overcame “Vitebsk” (3:0). During that game, the “grey-blues” maintained 59% possession and launched an impressive 20 shots towards the opponent’s goal, with nine of those being on target. It’s worth noting that the visitors possess a positive goal difference for the season (35:17). Furthermore, Isloch has a strong chance to even reach the top two positions, indicating significant motivation within the squad.
