Dinamo Minsk preview: Looking to continue their good run in the league
With five wins in a row in the Vysshaya Liga, Dinamo Minsk have been in good form in the league, although their last match in this competition was back in July. Since then, Dinamo Minsk have been only playing European matches, failing to reach the group stages of both Champions League and Europa League, but at least they will play in the Europa Conference League.
Predicted lineup: Lapoukhov (GK), Pigas, Begunov, Gavrilovich, Rai, Amian, Selyava, Demchenko, Bakhar, Alfred & Podstrelov

FC Gomel preview: In solid form heading into a tough duel
With two wins and a draw in their last three games in the league, FC Gomel have been in good form recently. Overall, they have 28 points from 19 matches this season and that's only enough for the eight place in the standings. Still, they aren't too far from places that would lead them to Europe next season, but they would need to keep their good form going for a while longer.
Predicted lineup: Kleshchuk (GK), Yatskevich, Chagovets, Zayats, Rashchenya, Rylach, Ermakovich, Abdullahi, Davyskiba, Potapenko & Effaghe

Player to watch: Rody Junior Effaghe
The 20-year-old forward from Gabon has been in great form this season for FC Gomel and he's currently the top scorer in the Belarus league with 13 goals. So, while we don't see FC Gomel winning or even scoring in this game, if anyone can make us eat our words, it is Effaghe.
