After four games we know a little more about the qualities of Dnipro-1 and Vorskla in this fresh Premier League season. Read our match preview!
There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
Dnipro-1 form and stats
Dnipro-1 have less points than they have played home games in the Premier League so far. Their two previous attempts here have produced 0 points. With three straight defeats the pressure is piling up on Dnipro-1 to get some points in this home game. Dnipro-1 are very eager to stop a potential losing streak at Dnipro Arena, having lost their two previous games here.
Happy days for Dnipro-1 in their previous game, a Ukrainian Cup match away at Hirnyk-Sport (after extra-time) that ended with a 5-3 victory. A Premier League defeat was the result before that one, 1-4 away at Oleksandria.
A goal frenzy last time out for Dnipro-1, with a total of 8 goals in the match against Hirnyk-Sport (after extra-time). Fun stuff to watch! What a game it was for A. Dovbyk when beating Hirnyk-Sport (after extra-time), applying the finishing touch to three goals!
The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Dnipro-1 have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found seven games) they have won three times, drawn zero and lost four.
At Dnipro Arena, Dnipro-1 has the goal stats of 2-5 (for/against) from 2 league fixtures.
Vorskla form and stats
A perfect away game record so far for the visitors in the Premier League, but they have only played once. Last season their away game stats were 1 win, 3 draws and 11 defeats from 15 matches.
The Vorskla goalkeeper Dmytro Riznyk is collecting clean sheets like a laundry worker. It's been 270 league minutes without conceding a goal, and counting.
Impressive finishing from V. Kulach (2) secured the home win 2-0 against Lviv in their previous game. A draw for Vorskla before that, at their own venue hosting Mariupol (0-0).
Vorskla are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is one win, zero draws and two defeats. From a total of three matches.
As for goals scored and conceded in the league games away so far, Vorskla has managed 2 goals and let in 0 from 1 match.
