Krystal have been very modest guests so far, leaving with zero points in all their 5 away matches played so far in the Second League: Group B. Krystal are generally in trouble as the list of consecutive losses is growing into an ugly monster. Regardless of home/away, the visitors have now lost seven in a row. It's been 6 weeks since they last avoided defeat. (The SK Poltava game.)

Krystal might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Balkany Zorya proved too strong as Krystal slumped to a 1-2 defeat in front of their own fans at Stadion Krystal.

It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Nikopol wasn't a success with a 1-2 loss.

The attacking power of Krystal when travelling is not overwhelming with 3 goals scored from 5 league matches away. People interested in "over 2,5 goals" betting will like to know that Krystal concede an average of more than 2,5 goals per away match all on their own.

Head 2 Head
