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

Naftan’s Relegation Battle

Naftan’s recent performances clearly indicate that the team will be fighting with all its might to avoid relegation. The Novopolotsk representatives’ game is simply not clicking. Today, they face Isloch, a team enjoying another robust season.

Naftan’s Consistent Struggle and Poor Form

Naftan typically spends only two or three seasons in the Premier League before dropping down to a lower division. This season, the Novopolotsk squad’s quality raises serious concerns. Naftan has lost 12 out of 19 matches played so far. Furthermore, their home record is abysmal, with 5 defeats in 9 games, conceding an average of two goals per match. Under Kriushenko, the team has struggled immensely in recent fixtures, suffering four losses in their last five outings and exiting the domestic cup. In their most recent match against Maxline, they managed only a single shot on target throughout the entire game.

Isloch’s Top-Tier Ambitions and Attacking Prowess

Isloch, as is customary, is vying for a top-five finish in the Belarusian championship. This season, the representatives from the Minsk region are showcasing incredible attacking football. They are currently the highest-scoring club in Belarus and have suffered very few defeats this season.

Isloch’s Dominant Away Form and Current Momentum

The “Wolves” also demonstrate excellent away form, having suffered only one defeat in nine away matches this season. Isloch performs particularly well against lower-ranked teams. The team is currently in ferocious form, with five victories in their last six encounters. Notably, their sole draw in this run was against Slavia, who currently sit in second place. In their latest match, Isloch completely dominated Vitebsk and could have easily won by an even larger margin.
