Smarhon — Neman Grodno : Match Preview and Prediction for September 28,2025

Smarhon’s Resilience and Current Form

Smarhon is once again demonstrating that it fully deserves to maintain its position at this level. The “Bears” have significantly bolstered their squad and now possess every opportunity to conclude the season with a strong and impactful performance.

Improved Performance and Recent Results

Indeed, the beginning of the season was entirely disastrous. The team showed no signs of life, going almost a full round of the championship without securing a single victory. However, since then, Smarhon has begun to perform admirably. The team now boasts a five-match unbeaten streak. In the penultimate round, they even managed to defeat Zhodino. In their most recent match, they narrowly lost to Dinamo in a very close encounter. It was only in the 93rd minute that the reigning Belarusian champions miraculously managed to equalize. Smarhon even outshot their opponent in that particular game, highlighting their competitive spirit.

Neman’s European Ventures and Domestic Impact

It is truly regrettable for Neman. The Belarusian championship is structured such that some teams are compelled to play under extremely challenging conditions. Neman outperformed all other teams from the country in Europe. However, this success now forces them into an extraordinarily demanding schedule within the domestic championship.

Post-European Campaign Struggles

As soon as Neman returned from their European tour, significant issues began to plague their domestic battles. Following their defeat to Rayo Vallecano, the team lost three out of four subsequent matches. Paradoxically, they did manage to secure a victory against the future champions of Belarus. Nevertheless, the remaining matches represented a complete setback. It’s particularly notable that in the regional derby, the team suffered a defeat against Gomel. Kovalevich’s squad was utterly outplayed by their opponent, with Grodno only managing to score a single consolation goal in the closing minutes of the game.
