Desna form and stats

The hosts won their first Premier League game here at Chernihiv Arena, lifting spirits. Home statistics for Desna last season were 8 wins, 3 draws and 2 losses from 13 games.

Happy days for Desna in their previous game, a Premier League match away at Mariupol (placed 11th) that ended with a 2-1 victory. Manager O. Ryabokon felt very clever after Denys Bezborodko scored the winning goal against Mariupol, having brought on that player as a substitute in the 72nd minute. A late climax in the match against Mariupol as the winning goal came two minutes into overtime; scored by Denys Bezborodko.

Before that game, the 3-0 home victory against Chornomorets.

Some members of the home team might already be thinking of their next match, the Premier League game versus Dnipro-1 in only four days. This game is also played here at Chernihiv Arena.

It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the Desna at home in the league. 3 on target and 0 scored by the opposition; from 1 match.

Inhulets form and stats

Inhulets have played one away game so far, a loss. Last season their away games stats in the Premier League were 2 victories, 3 draws and 8 defeats from 13 fixtures.

Inhulets failed to get anything from their last game, a Premier League home match vs Zorya (placed 7th) that ended with defeat 1-5. As you can see from the result above, the defeat against Zorya was particularly ugly (1-5). The humiliation is still top of mind.

Preceding that game, the 1-2 loss visiting Shakhtar Donetsk's place.

After this away game Inhulets return home for a Premier League game against Dynamo Kyiv. That game is only four sleeps after this.

It's early days yet, but Inhulets has scored 1 and conceded 2 goals from their travels in the league so far (1 game).

Head 2 Head

Head-to-head totals (for the last six meetings): Desna won four games, two matches ended with a draw and Inhulets has zero wins. Over 2,5 goals / under 2,5 goals: three / three
