Hirnyk-Sport form and stats

Hirnyk-Sport's struggle is real here at Stadion Ynist' with only 4 points collected from 8 Persha Liga games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 0-4-4. With eight home Persha Liga games in a row without a win, the Hirnyk-Sport fans could feel they are not getting value for their money. It remains to be seen whether this unfortunate streak, which started after the Avanhard game long ago, can be stopped today.

Hirnyk-Sport enjoyed a nice away win last time out, playing at Avanhard's place. The match ended 1-0 with A. Syomka scoring.

In the game before, an away victory match versus VPK-Ahro Shevchenkivka with a 2-1 scoreline.

The lack of attacking qualities in Hirnyk-Sport means that they have only scored 3 goals in 8 league home games, less than half a goal per match. It's worth mentioning that 2 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. Hirnyk-Sport's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 9 times.
