Dnipro-1 form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Dnipro-1 so far with only 7 points returning home. The records show 1-4-6 (win-draw-lose).

Dnipro-1 are travelling after their nice 3-0 home win in the Premier League against Vorskla. A home win before that, celebrating 3-2 vs Lviv.

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.
