This match features two teams living in the basement of the Persha Liga, Metalurh Zaporizhya holding 16th place and Kremin' lying 14th. A good chance for both teams to improve their position.
Both teams have had enough rest since their last competitive action. Let's hope for an energetic game!
One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on grass and that the visiting Kremin' have a different surface at their stadium (artificial turf). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on grass is 10-6-15 (win-draw-loss) from 31 matches.
