1. Division
Team Comparison
Orsha
Slonim
Match Preview
When Orsha and Slonim clash at the home ground on May 1, 2026, the stakes extend well beyond a single result — this is a 1. Division fixture that carries real weight for both clubs. K-League All-Stars v Manchester City: Confirmed line-ups as Maresca’s men face Korean test.
In the 1. Division table, Orsha currently occupy 14th and Slonim sit 6th, and the context adds genuine weight to what is already an intriguing fixture. Consistency has eluded Orsha in recent weeks, with D in their last five and a win rate of 29.17% that tells of an up-and-down campaign. The visitors have been picking up results steadily, DWLWL over their last five with a campaign win rate of 50%. Goals could be in short supply or plentiful — Orsha average 1.13 per game to Slonim's 1.88, and that gap may dictate the rhythm of the contest. Central midfield remains a position Leeds are keen to add in despite so far failing to reach an agreement with Southampton for Shea Charles.
How the two sides approach the contest strategically will be key. Orsha will want to control proceedings in front of their own supporters, while Slonim will back themselves to cause problems on the break. No wonder the skipper had talked of a 'new Aston Villa' in the pre-match press conference with what seemed like genuine excitement.
With Pavel Alenchev leading the league's scoring charts at 1 goals, the contest is unlikely to be short of attacking intent. The battle in midfield, where both sides look to control tempo, could prove the decisive arena.

The market has yet to form a strong view, and the contest looks genuinely difficult to call. Slonim look well-equipped to take the points on the road, with a 1-2 victory well within their reach. The ramifications of this result could ripple through the 1. Division standings for weeks to come, regardless of who comes out on top. The club are understood to favour a profile closer to Aurelien Tchouameni or a Premier League‑proven alternative rather than Manu Kone.
