Without a win in 10 games, interim boss Liam Fox will lead his side out for the second game in succession as he aims to halt an alarming run that has left the Gorgie outfit winless in 24/25.
As for their hosts, Minsk have lost just one of their last five games and are slightly further into their own campaign, sitting in second place in the Belarussian Premier Division after 20 matches. They are just three points behind league leaders FC Neman Grodno, but have three games in hand.
