The visiting Desna side should be favourites in this visit to Minai, as the away team holds a 21 point advantage from their 21 league games this season.
- Minai have the fewest scored goals (12) in Premier League
- Desna have scored more than double the goals of Minai.
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
Desna are still fighting for the big positions at the top of the table.
