Dnipro-1 form and stats

Perfect Premier League season at home so far for Dnipro-1 2 wins from 2 appearances.

Defensively the home team are doing well, with their goalkeeper Max Walef Araujo da Silva not having conceded a league goal in 528 minutes.

The home supporters witnessed a 2-2 draw vs Vaduz in the Europa Conference League last time out and are hoping for a win here. Midfield player Pikhalyonok got a match rating of 8.32 in that game, the max score being 10. Pikhalyonok scored one goal, hit four key passes and had 71 successful passes (of 79 total).

Before that match, a Premier League win away at Lviv.

This is expected to be a close game, with Dnipro-1 perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Dnipro-1 as a small favourite), we find 6 games. Dnipro-1 has won 1 of these, drawn 3 and lost 2.

The manager Kucher will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Vaduz in only four days.

Early season league goal statistics from Dnipro-1's 2 home games: {5 goals}, 0 conceded.

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.
