National cups are something special for many teams and supporters. Today's match will decide whether it's Rukh Vynnyky or Oleksandria that keep their silverware dream alive.
It's no vacation for neither Vynnyky nor Oleksandria as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
Rukh Vynnyky form and stats
Rukh Vynnyky have collected 9 points from their Premier League home games so far after 2-3-0.
A draw after 90 minutes last time out for Rukh Vynnyky, who played 1-1 against Shakhtar Donetsk. That match was also played at this venue (Stadion im. Bohdan Markevycha).
A Premier League defeat was the result before that one, 1-2 away at LNZ Cherkasy.This is expected to be a close game, with Rukh Vynnyky perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Rukh Vynnyky as a small favourite), we find 13 games. Rukh Vynnyky has won 5 of these, drawn 5 and lost 3.
A decent goal production from Vynnyky in their home games so far, with 9 goals from 5 league matches.
Oleksandria form and stats
Still no away game victory in the Premier League for Oleksandria with 1 draw and 2 losses from their first 3 attempts.
Home advantage was not enough for Oleksandria in their previous game as they lost hosting Chornomorets, 1-5. As you can see from the result above, the defeat against Chornomorets was particularly ugly (1-5). The humiliation is still top of mind. Oleksandria goalkeeper Shevchenko could take pride in a superb day at work versus Chornomorets, but even with making seven saves the loss could not be evaded. Midfield player Geovani was the top player of the team with a match rating of 7.35/10. Geovani hit one key pass and dribled past the opponent 2 of 3 times.
Ahead of that game was the 1-1 draw at home against Minai in the Premier League.So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Oleksandria playing away and similar expectations, we found 12 relevant matches. Results were 2 Oleksandria wins, 7 draws and 3 defeats.
Goals are few and far between in Oleksandria's away league games. Only {1 goals} from 3 travels.
Head 2 Head
