Struggling Minai are desperate to pull off an upset when they host enterprising Dnipro-1 in the next league fixture. It’s 12th vs 2nd and the home fans will have so-so expectations.

Insights:
  • Minai have the fewest matches over the total-line (5) in Premier League
  • Dnipro-1 have the most points from losing position (13) in Premier League

Dnipro-1 have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 1100 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.

It’s a hectic schedule for the away team, as they were in action only four days ago in the Premier League.
