Match begins: 14:30 (UTC)
Venue: Stadion im. Boris Tropanets (1600 seats)

The visiting Inhulets side should be favourites in this visit to Balkany Zorya, as the away team holds a 35 point advantage from their 29 league games this season.

It's no vacation for neither Balkany nor Inhulets 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.

Relegation threatens Balkany Zorya who should definitely be looking for some points here. Inhulets are still fighting for top positions and their benefits.
