Struggling Cherkashchyna-Akademiya will be hoping to pull off an upset when they welcome high-flying Inhulets in the upcoming league round. It’s 16th vs 5th and the home crowd will have moderate expectations.
There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.
Cherkashchyna-Akademiya form and stats
With 1 Persha Liga win, 2 draws and 7 defeats from their home games, Cherkashchyna-Akademiya, who have the most conceded goals (41) in Persha Liga, are certainly not brimming with confidence. The home team are struggling everywhere these days as they haven't won a game, regardless of being the home or the away team, in 13 attempts. Cherkashchyna-Akademiya are slowly digging their own grave here at Tsentralnyi Stadium with the depressing streak of not having won a home game in seven attempts. The last victory here came in the Balkany Zorya match.
The fans are hoping that Cherkashchyna-Akademiya will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 0-2 away loss in the Persha Liga game against Kremin' (placed 14th). Preceding that match was the home game against Obolon'-Brovar that was lost 1-2.
Cherkashchyna-Akademiya has scored 11 league goals at home this season, in 10 matches. Goals are flowing in at the wrong end for Cherkashchyna-Akademiya with 22 goals conceded in these matches.
Inhulets form and stats
The story so far for the visiting team on their Persha Liga travels is 4 wins, 1 draw and 4 defeats. Inhulets seem to be suffering from homesickness with two consecutive losses away. Third time lucky?
Inhulets won their last game, 3-2 versus Metalurh Zaporizhya played at home. A 1-2 defeat away at Ahrobiznes Volochysk before that.
Inhulets have scored 12 goals on their travels this season, from 9 away games in the league. Inhulets are defending well in their away games, having conceded only 7 times in 9 matches. For more goal statistics, check out the Statistics tab above.
