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.

Relegation threatens Inhulets who should definitely be looking for some points here. For Lviv most of the excitement is over as they will neither be promoted or relegated this season.

Inhulets form and stats

2-8-2 (win-draw-lost) are the Premier League numbers at home for Inhulets so far this season.

Heartbreak before that as Inhulets lost 0-5 at Dynamo Kyiv's place.

The manager S. Lavrynenko will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Shakhtar Donetsk in only three days.

The goals haven't exactly been flowing for Inhulets here at Stadion Zirka in the league, with less than one goal per game on average (10 from 12 games). It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. Inhulets have conceded 13 in these home matches. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 0 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 home matches.

Lviv form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Lviv, who have the most conceded goals (49) in Premier League, so far with only 11 points returning home. The records show 3-2-7 (win-draw-lose).

Ahead of that game was the 1-1 draw at home against Rukh Vynnyky.

The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting Olimpik Donetsk in just three days.

The attacking power of Lviv when travelling is not overwhelming with 10 goals scored from 12 league matches away. The Lviv manager A. Bezsmertny has some worries about the defense as 27 goals have been conceded in these travels.

Head 2 Head

This is the result when the teams met earlier this season; Lviv - Inhulets 1-1.

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.
