Vorskla form and stats

Vorskla have played one away game so far, a loss. Last season their away games stats in the Premier League were 3 victories, 3 draws and 2 defeats from 8 fixtures.

Vorskla might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Veres proved too strong as Vorskla slumped to a 1-2 defeat in front of their own fans at Stadion Vorskla im. Oleksiya Butov'skogo. Vorskla were so close to getting something from the game against Veres, but ended up with egg all over their face after conceding the deciding goal seven minutes into overtime.

A 1-3 defeat away at Zorya before that.

It's early days yet, but Vorskla has scored 1 and conceded 3 goals from their travels in the league so far (1 game).
