Inhulets form and stats

Disaster struck Inhulets last season as they could not defend their status as a Premier League team. With 15 defeats from 30 games, and only 8 wins, relegation could not be avoided. Inhulets are hopeful of bouncing straight back up, but need to improve upon their home record from last season of W5 D2 L8.

Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Metalurh Zaporizhya are coming to town in three days.

With the first game of the season soon underway, it's time to look at the results from the Inhulets friendly games in pre-season: Inhulets played five friendlies, won 5, drew 0 and lost 0. If you are really into statistics you might appreciate knowing that Inhulets scored {20 goals} and conceded 6 in these five games.

SK Poltava form and stats

Let's have a look at how SK Poltava performed last season in the Persha Liga: They landed a 6th position in the league table after playing out 2 victories, 2 draws and 4 defeats. In total they scored 16 and conceded {22 goals} in these matches. The numbers for away games only are: Won 2 - drew 2 and lost 0 with 9/6 goals scored/conceded.

There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Poltava manager Sysenko as the team has another away game coming up in only three days, this time against Hirnyk-Sport.
