Oleksandria form and stats

2 wins, 3 draws and 3 losses. That’s the product of Oleksandria playing as the away team in the Premier League this season.

Oleksandria won their last game, 3-0 versus Vorskla played at home. Preceding that game, the 0-2 loss visiting Desna's place.

With the home team given a winning probability of about 80% by the bookmakers, any point(s) for the visitors would be a surprise. Checking earlier matches with similar odds with Oleksandria as the away team, we found five results. Statistics from these were 1 away win, 1 draw and 3 defeats. The outsiders lost 2 of these games by at least two goals.

There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Oleksandria manager V. Sharan as the team has another away game coming up in only three days, this time against Dnipro-1.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Oleksandria as they have only managed to score 5 times from 8 away games in the league. Oleksandria are defending well in their away games, having conceded only 7 times in 8 matches. For more goal statistics, check out the Statistics tab above.
