It's early days in the Premier League and both Dynamo Kyiv and Zorya are still hoping for a flying start in order to set the tone for the season. Three points can make a big difference at this stage.
We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
Dynamo Kyiv form and stats
Only two Premier League home games for Dynamo Kyiv so far, yet both highs and lows with 1 win, 1 draw and 0 defeat.
Happy days for Dynamo in their previous game, a Premier League match away at Minai (placed 9th) that ended with a 4-0 victory. Sensational by Dynamo last match, beating Minai away as big underdogs. A strong away win before that one, visiting Gent and winning 2-1.
As indicated by the result mentioned above, Dynamo played a great game against Minai and beat them comfortably. Expectations are high for this one.
At NSK Olimpijs'kyj, Dynamo Kyiv has the goal stats of 3-1 (for/against) from 2 league fixtures.
Zorya form and stats
The visitors' first away game in the Premier League ended in defeat. Last season Zorya had these away match statistics: Played 16; won 9, drew 2 and lost 5.
There were no winners in Zorya's previous match, a Premier League home game that ended 2-2 vs Shakhtar Donetsk (placed 7th). Preceding that, the 0-1 home loss versus Mariupol.
1 goal so far away for Zorya, while their defence has allowed the opposition to score 3. All from 1 league match away.
Head 2 Head
As for the last ten games between these two teams, there's six Dynamo Kyiv victories, three draws and one Zorya win. Over/under statistics; seven of these games ended with three goals or more, three matches with two goals or less.Dynamo Kyiv missing players
