Dnipro-1 have travelled here for an action-packed duel against the home team Minai. Read up on the fixture with this thorough Premier League preview!

These teams have little in common geographically as Dnipro-1 have to travel 1100 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.

There has not been much time to rest for the guests, as they played a Europa League game only three days ago. That game, against Slavia Praha, was also an away game. It's a tiring schedule for Dnipro-1.

The table then splits in half resulting in a Championship round and a Relegation round, each playing ten more fixtures.
