National cups are something special for many teams and supporters. Today's match will decide whether it's Ahrobiznes Volochysk or Polessya that keep their silverware dream alive.
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.
Ahrobiznes Volochysk form and stats
Last season their Ukrainian Cup adventure ended in the 1st round.The story so far in the Persha Liga for Ahrobiznes Volochysk at their home stadium (Stadion Yunist') is 1 win, 0 draws and 0 defeats.
A strong away win for Ahrobiznes against Khust City the last match.
Before that, a strong away win at Mykolaiv (after extra-time). A Ukrainian Cup match.
It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the Ahrobiznes Volochysk at home in the league. 3 on target and 1 scored by the opposition; from 1 match.
Polessya form and stats
Polessya's mission in Ukrainian Cup last season failed in the 2nd round.Polessya have six points from their first three away games in the Premier League, meaning two victories and a loss.
Polessya play their second away game in a row, but can be confident going into this one after the 2-1 victory visiting LNZ Cherkasy. Kushnirenko came off the bench to score the winning goal in the match against LNZ Cherkasy last time out, making the manager Kalitvintsev feel like a tactical genius.
The game before that, in the Premier League, was lost at home, a 0-1 defeat against Rukh Vynnyky.There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Polessya manager Kalitvintsev as the team has another away game coming up in only four days, this time against Oleksandria.
Polessya are not goal shy away from home in the league, finding the net 5 times in 3 away games so far.
Head 2 Head
Statistics for the preceeding seven meetings involving these two participants are: four wins for Ahrobiznes Volochysk, two draws and one win for Polessya. Over 2,5 goals: four times; under 2,5 goals: three games.
