Mariupol will hope to utilise their home advantage to help bridge the gap to today’s opponents. The home side are currently 5 points behind Desna.

There haven't been much time to rest for the hosts, as they played a Premier League match only four days ago. Thankfully the previous game, versus Dynamo Kyiv, was also a home game here at Stadion im. Volodymyra Boyka. The away team is better rested.

It's quite the trip for Desna when visiting Mariupol as the cities are 800 kilometers apart.
