Karpaty hope to sell some tickets for this game even though the season has been rough so far with 11 points and a 10th position in the Premier League table. Visiting Olimpik Donetsk holds 7th place with 15 pts.
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
Olimpik Donetsk have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 800 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
