Venue: Stadion im. Boris Tropanets (1600 seats)

The visiting Minai side should be favourites in this visit to Balkany Zorya, as the away team holds a 21 point advantage from their 21 league games this season.

Balkany have less rest than Minai in this fixture, as the hosts were involved in a Persha Liga game only four days ago. 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. It’s a hectic schedule for the away team, as they were in action only four days ago in the Persha Liga. At least it's nice to return home after that away game at Hirnyk-Sport.
