Sileks host Dinamo Minsk at Training Centre Petar Milosevski in Skopje for the second leg of their UEFA Conference League 2026/27 First Qualifying Round tie. The Macedonian side holds a 1-0 advantage from the first leg, putting Dinamo Minsk in a position where they must score to stay in the competition. The Belarusian club enters this match as the bookmakers’ favourite at 44%, yet they are chasing the game from the very first minute.
Dinamo Minsk forward Moustapha Djimet has featured in both legs and brings direct attacking presence in a 3-4-2-1 system that will need to open up a Sileks side that has been defensively resolute. For Sileks, midfielder Mirza Delimedjac has picked up two yellow cards across the last two matches, which means his discipline will be under scrutiny in what is bound to be a tense affair.
Hot stat: Dinamo Minsk attempted 22 shots across their last five matches yet failed to score in the first leg, underlining a finishing problem that Sileks’ compact defensive shape has already exploited once.

Sileks vs Dinamo Minsk Prediction
Sileks won the first leg 1-0 and now defends that lead at home. With Dinamo Minsk needing at least one goal to force extra time, they will push forward and leave spaces at the back. Sileks have won two of their last three matches and will look to absorb pressure and hit on the counter, much as they did in the first leg.
Dinamo Minsk’s year-to-date form is impressive at 78% win rate across nine matches, but those results came predominantly in the Belarusian league against domestic opposition. Their only recent defeat was the first leg against Sileks. Sileks, playing at home and holding an aggregate lead, have every reason to stay disciplined and compact. We predict Dinamo Minsk will find it difficult to break through and Sileks will advance, though the match could stay tight and low-scoring.
Sileks have accumulated eight yellow cards across the last five matches, suggesting an aggressive defensive approach. Dinamo Minsk have four yellow cards in the same sample, but their midfielder Artem Sokolovskiy carries two of those, meaning he too walks a disciplinary tightrope. Both teams commit fouls regularly enough that free kick situations will be frequent, though neither side has converted a free kick directly in recent games. The corner count is level at six each across recent matches, pointing to a closely contested, physical encounter.

Team Analysis
Sileks arrive at this second leg in solid recent form. They have won two of their last three matches, with the only loss coming in a 1-2 home defeat to Dinamo Tirana. Before that, they beat Shkendija 1-0 in the Macedonian league. Their most significant recent result is, of course, the first-leg win over Dinamo Minsk, a narrow but fully deserved 1-0 victory. In the five-match window, they have scored just two goals, which reflects a pragmatic style rather than any attacking ambition. Coach Aleksandar Vasoski sets up in a 4-3-3 that prioritises shape and defensive solidity, and it has worked in European competition so far.
Dinamo Minsk head into this match having lost their only game in the last 30 days, which was the first leg. Before that, their Belarusian Premier League results were convincing: a 1-0 win over FC Minsk, a 3-2 win against Baranovichi, and a 3-1 victory over Slavia Mozyr. Their lone blemish was a 1-1 draw with Naftan. The pattern shows a team that scores freely in domestic football but struggled to create real quality chances against Sileks. Coach Aleksandr Shagoyko uses a 3-4-2-1 system that can be possession-heavy, but Sileks neutralised it effectively in the first leg, allowing just one clean sheet and zero goals conceded.

Pre-game Odds and Win Probability: Dinamo Minsk the Favourite
- Moneyline Sileks 4.11 | Dinamo Minsk 2.03
- Draw 2.97
- Over/Under Over 2.5 N/A | Under 2.5 N/A
- BTTS (both teams to score) Yes N/A | No N/A
The odds paint Dinamo Minsk as favourites at around 2.03, which makes sense given their superior ranking and domestic form. Sileks at 4.11 represents genuine value when you factor in the 1-0 first-leg lead and the home setting. Bookmakers are pricing this as though Dinamo Minsk will win the match, but winning the match and winning the tie are two different things. We see the Sileks win or draw outcome as underpriced given the aggregate context, and the draw at roughly 2.97 also holds appeal for those who believe Sileks will sit back and protect their lead.
Possible Starting Lineups
Sileks Possible Starting Eleven
- GK: Daniel Bozhinovski
- DF: Kristijan Eftimov, Edis Buturovic, Ivan Subert, Angelce Timovski
- MF: Ilija Donov, Mirza Delimedjac, Aleksandar Mishov
- FW: Kristijan Velinovski
Sileks have consistently deployed a 4-3-3 shape in recent matches. Daniel Bozhinovski starts in goal, protected by a back four built around the experienced Kristijan Eftimov and Edis Buturovic, who have both played the full 180 minutes across the two legs. Ilija Donov anchors the midfield, while Mirza Delimedjac needs to stay disciplined given his two yellow cards. Kristijan Velinovski leads the forward line and will be important for holding the ball and relieving pressure when Dinamo Minsk push forward.
Dinamo Minsk Possible Starting Eleven
- GK: Ivan Shimakovich
- DF: Roman Begunov, Vladislav Kalinin, Aleksey Ivanov, Maksim Shvetsov
- MF: Aleksandr Selyava, Artem Sokolovskiy
- FW: Moustapha Djimet, Evgeni Malashevich, Karen Vardanyan, Gulzhigit Alykulov
Dinamo Minsk set up in a 3-4-2-1, though the available player data suggests a back four could also be used in this leg given the need to attack. Ivan Shimakovich starts in goal. Roman Begunov and Vladislav Kalinin have both played the full 180 minutes in the two-leg tie. Artem Sokolovskiy is the key creative force in midfield but, like Delimedjac on the other side, carries two yellow cards and must be careful. Moustapha Djimet and Evgeni Malashevich lead the attack and will need to find a way past a Sileks defence that has yet to concede in this tie.

TipsGG Match Prediction
The numbers support a cautious, low-scoring second leg. Sileks have conceded just one goal across their last two competitive matches and hold a first-leg lead. Dinamo Minsk attempted 22 shots in the recent five-match window but scored zero in the first leg, which is a telling sign about their efficiency against organised defences. The head-to-head shot data shows Dinamo Minsk as the more active attacking team, but shot volume without conversion does not change the aggregate score.
We predict Sileks will defend their lead and progress. The most likely scenario is a 0-0 draw or a 1-0 Sileks win, with the Macedonian side fully focused on keeping the tie locked down. To be honest, Dinamo Minsk’s domestic form is deceptive here. European qualifying is a different test, and they have already failed to score once against this opponent. Back Sileks to advance and consider Under 2.5 goals as the strongest value play on the night.
