As the visiting team in Premier League matches, Oleksandria have produced an overall stat of 3-2-1 so far.

The supporters enjoyed Oleksandria's previous game versus Inhulets (placed 10th), a Premier League 1-0 win played at home.

Before that one, a nice away victory 1-0 at Kolos Kovalivka.

The home team is given a winning chance of about 80 percent by the betting public. This does not leave much hope for the visitors, but some teams enjoy the outsider role and perform well in it.

There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Oleksandria manager Y. Gura as the team has another away game coming up in only four days, this time against Tavriya.

Oleksandria have scored 7 goals on their travels this season, from 6 away games in the league. It's not easy to score on Oleksandria as they have only conceded 5 goals from these away games.
