Inhulets form and stats

Inhulets's results here at Stadion Inhulets in the Premier League have been very modest with 1 victory, 2 draws and 4 defeats. The home team are struggling everywhere these days as they haven't won a league-game, regardless of being the home or the away team, in ten attempts.

Stress levels are on the rise for Inhulets's attacking players as they have now played 190 minutes without scoring in a league game. M. Plokhotnyuk was their last goal scorer.

Inhulets are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 0-1 away versus Zorya.

Preceding that match was the home game against Shakhtar Donetsk that was lost 0-1.

The home team are doomed in this game if you believe the odds offered on Desna to win. Let's see if Inhulets are capable of creating a surprise here by looking at their earlier home games as massive outsiders: two games found revealing zero Inhulets wins, one draw and one defeat.

Inhulets aren't scoring a lot here at Stadion Inhulets in the league, with only 5 goals from 7 games. Inhulets have conceded 10 in these home matches.

Desna form and stats

3-2-3 is the win-draw-loss statistic for Desna in their Premier League matches away. Desna love their trips these days, as their two previous away games have resulted in victories.

Desna's last game was the home draw against Mariupol (3-3). A comeback secured a 90 minute draw in the match against Mariupol. Desna were trailing 0-2 but refused to surrender and clawed their way back to 3-3, with Vikentii Voloshyn scoring the equalizer. As you can tell from the result, the match against Mariupol was as crazy as a clown in a village circus. Great fun for the neutral supporter with 6 goals, will the fun continue today? The draw against Mariupol came from a losing position. The Desna manager O. Ryabokon brought on Vikentii Voloshyn as a substitute and the player scored to make the scores level.

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