Competition: Ukraine Persha Liga
Date: Wed 15.May
Match begins: 14:00 (UTC)
Venue: Stadion im. Boris Tropanets (3000 seats)

This could be an interesting match as Balkany Zorya have their presumed home advantage while Volyn are ahead 22 points in the Persha Liga table.

Volyn could be less fresh than the hosts in this fixture, as they played a Persha Liga game only four sleeps ago. That game, against Mykolaiv, was also an away game. It's a tiring schedule for Volyn.

Volyn have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 900 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.

Balkany Zorya form and stats

Balkany Zorya manager A. Parkhomenko and his team return home after a 1-1 draw away versus Obolon'-Brovar in the Persha Liga. Preceding that match was a defeat to Dnipro-1 (0-2).
