Lviv hope to sell some tickets for this game even though the season has been rough so far with 18 points and a 10th position in the Premier League table. Visiting Oleksandria holds 5th place with 33 pts.
Both teams have had enough rest since their last competitive action. Let's hope for an energetic game!
These teams have little in common geographically as Oleksandria have to travel 800 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
Oleksandria is no longer fighting for a cause; they can neither go up or down this season.
Lviv form and stats
The home fans haven’t been spoiled with victories in the Premier League this season. Lviv have only managed 2 wins, 1 draw and 6 losses from their games here at Arena L'viv.
Lviv enjoyed a nice away win last time out, playing at Olimpik Donetsk's place. The match ended 1-0 with Y. Bogunov scoring. Before that, Lviv had a home game versus Kolos Kovalivka which ended with a victory 3-2.
World class coaching! That was the thoughts of E. Melikyan when Y. Bogunov scored the winning goal after coming on as a substitute in the 63rd minute.
There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Lviv as they are travelling to their away game against Zorya in the Premier League. That match is four days after this one.
Lviv have scored 6 league goals here from 9 matches, not a lot. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 15 goals have been conceded.
Oleksandria form and stats
As the visiting team in Premier League matches, Oleksandria have produced an overall stat of 3-3-3 so far.
Oleksandria failed to get anything from their last game, a Premier League home match vs Kolos Kovalivka (placed 6th) that ended with defeat 1-2. Preceding that game was the away victory against Dnipro-1 with the score of 2-1.
Late heartbreak for Oleksandria in the Kolos Kovalivka match, as the deciding 1-2 goal came deep into overtime.
There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Oleksandria manager V. Sharan as the team has another away game coming up in only four days, this time against Karpaty.
Many goals are not expected from the visiting Oleksandria as they have only managed to score 7 times from 9 away games in the league. It's not easy to score on Oleksandria as they have only conceded 8 goals from these away games.
Head 2 Head
Lviv and Oleksandria have met before this season: Oleksandria - Lviv 2-0. Head-2-head stats last ten meetings: two - three - five (Lviv wins - draws - Oleksandria wins). As for goals, five matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), five had two or less.Top Goalscorers
