Season ticket holders at Knyazha-Arena haven’t seen too many victories this season, with Metalurh Zaporizhya languishing in the 15th position so far. The guesting Hirnyk-Sport will be hopeful to defend their higher league position in this one.
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Metalurh Zaporizhya and Hirnyk-Sport.
Metalurh Zaporizhya are fighting like crazy to avoid relegation and desperately need points in this fixture. For Hirnyk-Sport most of the excitement is over as they will neither be promoted or relegated this season.
Metalurh Zaporizhya form and stats
With 3 Persha Liga wins, 2 draws and 7 defeats from their home games, Metalurh Zaporizhya are certainly not brimming with confidence.
Zaporizhya lost their last game at Volyn (placed 5th) after a 0-5 scoreline.
As you see from the result above, Metalurh Zaporizhya suffered greatly in their last game. Thankfully the team has a new chance to prove themselves in this one.
The match schedule is unforgiving for Zaporizhya as they have a new game in only two days, a Persha Liga match thankfully also at home. Prykarpattia are visiting.
The Zaporizhya fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 12 in 12 matches. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 21 goals have been conceded.
Hirnyk-Sport form and stats

Preceding that game, the 1-2 loss visiting Rukh Vynnyky's place.
The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting Avanhard in just two days.
Hirnyk-Sport have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 13 league away games 15 goals have been scored. As for defending, Hirnyk-Sport rarely keep clean sheets as they have conceded 21 goals from these away matches.
