Dnipro-1 form and stats

Last season, Dnipro-1's league results were 13 wins, 1 draw and 4 losses, ending with 3rd position in the Premier League. During these 18 matches they scored 35 goals and conceded 17. Appearing at their own stadium in the former season Dnipro-1 produced 8-0-1 (win-draw-lost) with 22 goals and 8 conceded.

Defensively the home team are doing well, with their goalkeeper Max Walef Araujo da Silva not having conceded a league goal in 258 minutes.

It's back home for Dnipro-1, who return with a good feeling about themselves after beating Dynamo Kyiv away with the result 3-0. Pikhalyonok, Rubchynskyi and Sarapiy found the net in that victory. Sweet to taste a league victory after three fixtures without one.

Before that match, a loss in the away fixture against AEK Larnaca in the Europa League.

Veres form and stats

Veres are yet to lose a point on their Premier League travels this season with 2 wins from 2 away games. Momentum is building for Veres in their away games, having won their two previous outings.

Two away games in a row for Veres, whose coach Virt could celebrate last time after the win against Vorskla. World class coaching! That was the thoughts of manager Virt when Shestakov scored the winning goal after coming on as a substitute in the 89th minute.

Prior to that result Veres won their away game at Chornomorets. The scoreline was 1-0.

3 goals so far away for Veres, while their defence has allowed the opposition to score 1. All from 2 league matches away.

The Ukrainian Premier League is the highest division of football in Ukraine. It was created in 1991 as Ukraine declared independence from the Soviet Union. Twelve teams play each other twice in a 22 match regular season to create a league table. The table then splits in half resulting in a Championship round and a Relegation round, each playing ten more fixtures.
