Premier League match preview: Chornomorets versus Olimpik Donetsk

Competition: Ukraine Premier League
Date: Sun 14.April
Match begins: 16:30 (UTC)

An important duel in the bottom section of the league table, with both teams experiencing more worry than joy. This match is a classic “six-pointer” with the home team placed 11th and the visitors in 10th place.

Both teams have had enough rest since their last competitive action. Let's hope for an energetic game!

Olimpik Donetsk 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.

Chornomorets form and stats

With 3 wins, 1 draw and 7 defeats from their home games, Chornomorets are certainly not brimming with confidence. The home stadium is supposed to be a fortress, but for Chornomorets it's been a house of straw as the last four games here have all been lost. Can they turn things around?

The Chornomorets fans got no joy from their last match, a Premier League game also here: A 1-3 defeat against Arsenal Kyiv. Preceding that game was the away draw at Mariupol that finished 0-0.

Chornomorets aren't scoring a lot here with only 6 goals from 11 games. Chornomorets have conceded 18 from these games.
