Polessya form and stats

OK but not perfect. That could be the conclusion for Polessya's two home games in the Premier League so far this season, having collected 3 points here at Stadion Spartak.

No payout for Polessya in their previous match, an away game at Chornomorets that ended in defeat 0-1. The first defeat after going undefeated in three league fixtures.

Before that game, the 2-0 home victory against Obolon'-Brovar.

The match schedule is unforgiving for Polessya as they have a new game in only four days, a Ukrainian Cup match thankfully also at home. Dnipro-1 are visiting.

At Stadion Spartak, Polessya has the goal stats of 2-1 (for/against) from 2 league fixtures.

Minai form and stats

Still no away game victory in the Premier League for Minai with 1 draw and 2 losses from their first 3 attempts.

It's another away game for the visitors, as they travelled to Oleksandria (placed 9th) in their previous outing. The match ended in a draw 1-1.

The game before that, was lost at home, a 1-4 defeat against Shakhtar Donetsk.

Looking at the earlier recent performances of Minai when being an outsider away as they are today, we find 8 matches with the visitors losing 5 times, drawing 3 and winning 0 games.

Minai have another fixture away from home in just four sleeps, a Ukrainian Cup fixture vs Viktoriya Mykolaivka. A demanding programme for them!

The attacking power of Minai when travelling is not overwhelming with 2 goals scored from 3 league matches away.

Head 2 Head

Head to head numbers (for the preceeding four meetings): Polessya won one game, one match ended with a draw and Minai have two wins. Over 2,5 goals / under 2,5 goals: one / three.

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.
