Season ticket holders at Stadion im. Volodymyra Boyka haven’t seen too many victories this season, with Mariupol languishing in the 10th position so far. The guesting Lviv will be hopeful to defend their higher league position in this one.
- Mariupol have the fewest points (6) at home in Premier League
- Lviv have the most conceded goals (48) in Premier League
It’s a hectic schedule for the away team, as they were in action only four days ago in the Premier League.
These teams have little in common geographically as Lviv have to travel 1300 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
Relegation threatens Mariupol who should definitely be looking for some points here. Lviv are struggling to avoid relegation.
Mariupol form and stats
With 1 Premier League win, 3 draws and 7 defeats from their home games, Mariupol, who have the fewest points (6) at home in Premier League, are certainly not brimming with confidence.
Mariupol's previous game was also a home match, the defeat 0-3 versus Rukh Vynnyky (placed 12th). The spoils were shared after 90 minutes before that, a home game that ended 1-1 versus Olimpik Donetsk.
Mariupol are traveling soon after this match as the Premier League match at Dynamo Kyiv awaits in three days.
Mariupol aren't scoring a lot here at Stadion im. Volodymyra Boyka in the league, with only 9 goals from 11 games. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Mariupol defense is not exactly impregnable. 21 goals conceded from 11 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.
Lviv form and stats
Lviv, who have the most conceded goals (48) in Premier League, have only collected 8 points from their away games in the Premier League, after 2-2-7 (11 played). The pressure to perform on the road is increasing on A. Bezsmertny, the Lviv manager, as the last three away games were defeats.
Lviv delivered a 1-1 draw playing at home against Rukh Vynnyky (placed 12th) in their previous match; a Premier League game. Prior to that match, a home win 1-0 against Desna.
The schedule is very tough for Lviv now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Premier League game at Inhulets is waiting in only four days.
The visitors have scored 8 goals from 11 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. The Lviv manager A. Bezsmertny has some worries about the defense as 26 goals have been conceded in these travels.
