Match begins: 22:00 (UTC)

Struggling Krystal will be hoping to pull off an upset when they welcome high-flying Hirnyk-Sport in the upcoming league round. It’s 16th vs 3rd and the home crowd will have moderate expectations.

These are busy days for the home team, as they were in action only four days ago in the Persha Liga. That game was an away game at Avanhard, so at least Krystal are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!

Krystal form and stats

There have been more unhappy faces than points at this arena so far this season, with Krystal yet to win or draw a Persha Liga game here. The sad story is: Krystal played 4 games, lost 4 games. It's been an uphill battle for Krystal in their home games for quite some time now, as four matches in a row are lost here. Not since the Alians Lypova Dolyna game have they avoided the disappointment of defeat. It's trouble wherever Krystal are playing these days as they have suffered six straight defeats now, regardless of arena. They really need to get back to winning ways.

Krystal are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 1-2 away versus Avanhard.

Heartbreak for Krystal in their last match as Avanhard's Y. Senytskyy scored the winning goal deep into overtime.

The lack of attacking qualities in Krystal means that they have only scored 2 goals in 4 league home games, less than half a goal per match. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 6 goals have been conceded.
