The Premier League league table might not tell the truth so early on, but it's the best truth we have so far. Inhulets and Minai are placed 10th and 11th respectively.
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Inhulets and Minai.
Inhulets form and stats
Inhulets are yet to win a home game, having collected 2 points from their first two Premier League games here at Stadion Zirka. In general it's been a long time since Inhulets tasted defeat here at Stadion Zirka, as they have taken at least one point from their last 22 home games in the league.
In their previous game, the manager S. Lavrynenko led his Inhulets to a defeat in the Ukrainian Cup match away at Oleksandria. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Stadion Zirka. Before that, Inhulets played out a Premier League draw 0-0 when visiting Kolos Kovalivka.
The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Inhulets have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found four games) they have won two times, drawn two and lost zero.
Early season league goal statistics from Inhulets's 2 home games: 2 goals, 2 conceded.
