Slavia Mozyr will host Smolevichi for this fixture of the league. I think, the hosts are favorites on the home stadium. However, I think, this will not be an easy task for the hosts. Slavia have better position in the table. However, they have a poor results in recent times. Hosts have 2 losses in a row. Also, we have Smolevichy who's is one of the main outsiders in this campaign. Nevertheless, the guests will try to pick up the victory on the road. In any case, they have nothing lose. So, I expect another one tough match for both sides. My pick - Smolevichy to win.
Adelaide have averaged two goals a game this season but have scored six in their last two with Riley McGree showing his goalscoring prowess with six goals so far this season.

If a player is injured and cannot play for us we have to send him to Africa and they have a look and in one or two weeks they are back.

However, the hosts have got some problems at the back. Fiorentina have conceded more goals (20) in their first 13 matchdays in Serie A this season than in any of their top-flight campaigns at this stage since they returned to the top-flight in 2004/05.
