Prykarpattia are welcoming Cherkashchyna-Akademiya for another important game after their 0-1 result against 15th-placed Metalurh Zaporizhya.

It's no vacation for neither Prykarpattia nor Cherkashchyna-Akademiya as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.

Prykarpattia's stadium, Miskyi Tsentral'nyi Stadion Rukh, has a grass surface. Cherkashchyna-Akademiya have artifical turf on their own stadium. This might or might not make a difference, and to help evaluate that we give you the recent performance numbers for Cherkashchyna-Akademiya when playing on grass; 3 wins, 4 draws and 11 losses from 18 matches. They have scored 11 goals in these games and conceded 29.

Relegation threatens Prykarpattia who should definitely be looking for some points here. Cherkashchyna-Akademiya are nearing the end of this stay in this division as relegation is now unavoidable.

Prykarpattia form and stats

The home fans haven’t been spoiled with victories in the Persha Liga this season. Prykarpattia have only managed 4 wins, 1 draw and 9 losses from their games here at Miskyi Tsentral'nyi Stadion Rukh. It's trouble wherever Prykarpattia are playing these days as they have suffered five straight defeats now, regardless of arena. They really need to get back to winning ways. Two defeats in a row at home hurts for Prykarpattia, their manager V. Kovalyuk and the supporters. There are certain expectations for improvement.

R. Kuzmin was the last player to score a league goal for Prykarpattia and it's becoming a more and more distant memory as Prykarpattia haven't scored in 252 minutes.

Prykarpattia are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 0-1 away versus Metalurh Zaporizhya.

The manager V. Kovalyuk will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Hirnyk-Sport in only four days.

The Prykarpattia fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 17 in 14 matches. 19 goals have been conceded.

Cherkashchyna-Akademiya form and stats

There's been little loot from Cherkashchyna-Akademiya's travels as they have only collected 2 points from 14 away games in the Persha Liga. Cherkashchyna-Akademiya, who have the most conceded goals (66) in Persha Liga, only have 0 wins to counter their 12 defeats and 2 draws. Cherkashchyna-Akademiya are desperate to end a 23-game winless run, as they haven't won a game since the Balkany Zorya fixture. Travelling has not been lucrative for the away team as they have returned home without a win in 16 away games in a row.

This game can not go any worse than the last one, a Persha Liga home defeat versus Volyn with 0-2 on the scoreboard.

The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting Mykolaiv in just four days.

Goals are few and far between in Cherkashchyna-Akademiya's away league games. Only 7 goals from 14 travels. Cherkashchyna-Akademiya have conceded 30 goals in these games.
