Minai form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Minai, who have the fewest points (3) away in Premier League, so far with only 3 points returning home. The records show 0-3-5 (win-draw-lose). Minai has lost their two previous away games and are eager to kill a negative trend in its infancy.

Minai are looking to quickly end their 225 minutes long goal drought in the Premier League.

Minai's previous game was their home loss versus Inhulets (0-1). It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Dynamo Kyiv wasn't a success with a 0-3 loss.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Minai as they have only managed to score 5 times from 8 away games in the league. The Minai manager V. Kobin has some worries about the defense as 19 goals have been conceded in these travels.
