Soligorsk defeated Mogilev 4:1 in the Extraleague on Wednesday, extending their perfect start to five victories from five matches. The result leaves the hosts top of the table with a flawless record, while Mogilev's struggles continue with their second loss in as many meetings this season.
And here's the thing about this fixture — Soligorsk had already beaten Mogilev 3:0 just two days ago, and they made no mistake about it again. The hosts have been ruthless in attack, scoring 30 goals across those five matches, while Mogilev find themselves rooted to seventh place with nine points from three wins.
We had called for Soligorsk to win at 77% confidence, and they delivered exactly that. To be fair, the gap between these sides has been widening, and Soligorsk's attack — averaging six goals a game — simply overwhelms opponents who cannot match that intensity. Mogilev scored 15 goals in five games but conceded 16, a difference that tells you everything about their defensive frailties.
The standings now show Soligorsk with 15 points, three clear of second place, while Mogilev remain fixed in seventh. By then, the pattern is clear: Soligorsk do not travel to make up the numbers, and Mogilev have not found a way to contain them. The hosts extended their unbeaten run to eight matches across all competitions, and cannot afford another slip if they want to maintain their position.
Mogilev's recent form shows flashes — a 5:3 win over Youth Minsk and a 7:4 victory over Baranavichy — but they switch off at the back when it matters. Soligorsk, meanwhile, have the deeper squad and the consistency to keep this run going. The draw brought them together early, but now Soligorsk look like a team built for the long haul.
