Smorgon — Vitebsk : Match Preview and Prediction for November 01,2025

Smorgon’s Current Form

Smorgon has built a decent unbeaten run, which has allowed them to pull away from Slutsk in the direct relegation zone. At home against Vitebsk, whose instability keeps them in 12th place, the “Red-Whites” are expected to maintain a robust defensive block.

October Performance Highlights

Over the last month, Smorgon secured seven points from four games, with their only loss coming against Slavia Mozyr (1:3), a team that has been consistently in the top three all season. In the latter half of October, Dorokhovich’s team delivered surprising results with wins against BATE (1:0) and a draw with Minsk (2:2), increasing their lead over Slutsk to six points. At home, the “Red-Whites” have seen Under 2.5 goals in four of their last five matches. Smorgon also has the second-lowest home goal tally (9), just above Molodechno (7).

Vitebsk’s Season of Struggle

After a phenomenal performance last season, where Vitebsk spent most of the championship in the top five, the current campaign can only be described as a failure. Recent losses to Dynamo Brest (1:2) and ML Vitebsk (0:1) have left the “Blues” in 12th position, and they risk falling into the relegation play-off zone if they continue to drop points. Away from home, the Northerners have suffered nine defeats in 13 Premier League matches – only Molodechno (10) has a worse away record.

Match Outlook and Prediction

I doubt that Smorgon and Vitebsk will play an open game in this crucial head-to-head encounter. Both underdogs are desperate to secure their positions and finish the season safely – neither team wants to give away points to a direct rival.
