Lviv form and stats

Lviv's struggle is real here at Stadion Ukrajina with only 7 points collected from 8 Premier League games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 2-1-5.

In their previous game, the manager A. Bezsmertny led his Lviv to a defeat in the Premier League match away at Vorskla. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Stadion Ukrajina. Prior to that, an away loss at Dnipro-1.

Some supporters pointed their nail-bitten fingers at Alvaro for missing a penalty kick versus Vorskla in the 15th minute. It's possible that a goal in that situation would have changed the outcome.

Lviv are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 8 goals in 8 games. It's worth mentioning that 4 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. Defensively there's plenty of potential for improvement as Lviv have allowed the opposition to score 20 goals here at Stadion Ukrajina.

Oleksandria form and stats

There's been little loot from Oleksandria's travels as they have only collected 6 points from 10 away games in the Premier League. Oleksandria only have 1 win to counter their 6 defeats and 3 draws. Three has not been a lucky number for Oleksandria as they have been defeated three times in a row since the Olimpik Donetsk match. With two straight losses from their last two away games, Oleksandria are hoping that it's time for some travel points again.

It might be tough going out on the road again for Oleksandria, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 1-4 versus Desna (placed 4th). A 1-2 loss hosting Dynamo Kyiv before that.

The visitors have scored 7 goals from 10 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. Oleksandria's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 15 goals from these trips.
