Slavia Mozyr — Naftan Novopolotsk : Match Preview and Prediction for November 01,2025

The challenging period for Slavia Mozyr has come to an end. Facing Naftan, Bionchik’s team is expected to secure a victory based on their superior quality. It’s clear that the ‘Dark Reds’ (Slavia Mozyr) aim to maintain their top-3 position, and recent setbacks for Dynamo Minsk could even elevate the Gomel region club to vice-champion status.

Over the last month, Slavia Mozyr has earned nine out of a possible twelve points, only losing to Zhodino in a run of matches against ML Vitebsk (3:2), Smorgon (3:1), Torpedo (2:3), and Neman (2:1). Last Saturday, the team from Mozyr performed confidently against Grodno, with the Belarusian Cup holders registering three times fewer shots on target (9-3) and conceding the decisive goal in the 91st minute. At home, Bionchik’s players have collected 27 points in 13 matches, a record surpassed only by Dynamo Minsk (31).

Naftan, on the other hand, has accumulated several losses recently. Since September 25, the Novopolotsk squad has suffered defeats against Torpedo (2:4), Neman (0:1), and Dynamo Minsk (1:3). Away from home, Kryushenko’s team has conceded 20 goals in 13 games, with only Smorgon, Slutsk (both 23), and Molodechno (35) having weaker defenses.

In their last five away matches, Naftan has suffered four defeats. The game in Mozyr is expected to see a barrage of attacks on the Novopolotsk goal. Slavia is predicted to extend their winning streak in head-to-head encounters to four matches, scoring at least twice.
