Struggling Olimpik Donetsk will be hoping to pull off an upset when they welcome high-flying Zorya in the upcoming league round. It’s 13th vs 3rd and the home crowd will have moderate expectations.
- Olimpik Donetsk is in the worst form (0-1-5)
- Zorya have scored at least twice as many goals as they have conceded.
There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
Relegation threatens Olimpik who should definitely be looking for some points here. Zorya are still fighting for the big positions at the top of the table.
