These teams have little in common geographically as Minai have to travel 1000 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.

Chornomorets and Minai should both be in good shape for this meeting, as there's been enough days for both of them to train and rest since their last matches.

The Ukrainian Premier League is the highest division of football in Ukraine. It was created in 1991 as Ukraine declared independence from the Soviet Union. Twelve teams play each other twice in a 22 match regular season to create a league table. The table then splits in half resulting in a Championship round and a Relegation round, each playing ten more fixtures.
