Only a win will satisfy the Zorya supporters in this Slavutych-Arena clash with Lviv, having a healthy lead on the opposition in the Premier League table.

Insights:
  • Zorya have the fewest conceded goals (11) in Premier League
  • Lviv have the fewest scored goals (11) in Premier League

There haven't been much time to rest for the hosts, as they played a Ukrainian Cup match only four days ago. At least it's nice to return home after that away game at Veres.

Lviv have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 1000 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.

Zorya form and stats

3 victories, 3 draws and 1 defeat. That’s what Zorya, who have the fewest conceded goals (11) in Premier League, have to build on here at Slavutych-Arena in the Premier League. Zorya haven’t lost a league-game in 13 attempts regardless of arena, a great achievement. Their last loss was the fixture versus Mariupol, 175 days ago. Hopes of three in a row are alive for Zorya after consecutive victories at their own ground.

Zorya are confident in defense, having played 249 minutes without conceding a goal in the league.

A good away victory last time out for Zorya, who won 2-1 against Veres. Before that match, a Premier League win away at Shakhtar Donetsk.

Zorya are believed to win this game, given a winning chance of about 70% by the bookmakers. We have checked our records for their performance in similar circumstances and found eight matches and the win/draw/lost stats: Won seven, drew zero and lost one.

A decent goal production from Zorya in their home games so far, with 12 goals from 7 league matches. Zorya have only conceded 6 from their league home games. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.

Lviv form and stats

There's been little loot from Lviv's travels as they have only collected 8 points from 8 away games in the Premier League. Lviv, who have the fewest scored goals (11) in Premier League, only have 2 wins to counter their 4 defeats and 2 draws.

This game can not go any worse than the last one, a Premier League home defeat versus Dynamo Kyiv with 1-4 on the scoreboard. Preceding that, the 0-2 home loss versus Kolos Kovalivka.

We have done a similar check as we did with the hometeam, looking up recent matches where Lviv played away with similar odds. This revealed five games. The visitors overcame the odds to win one time, zero were draws and the home team won as expected four times.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Lviv as they have only managed to score 6 times from 8 away games in the league. Defensive performances away have varied in quality as Lviv have conceded 15 goals on the road. For more goal statistics, check out the Statistics tab above.

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.
