Metalurh Zaporizhya hope to sell some tickets for this game even though the season has been rough so far with 11 points and a 15th position in the Persha Liga table. Visiting Ahrobiznes Volochysk holds 6th place with 37 pts.

There haven't been much time to rest for the hosts, as they played a Persha Liga match only four days ago. That game was an away game at Metalist 1925 Kharkiv, so at least Zaporizhya are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!

Ahrobiznes Volochysk have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 800 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
