An important duel in the bottom section of the Premier League, with both Minai and Dnipro-1 experiencing more worry than joy. This match is a classic "six-pointer" with the home team placed 12th and the visitors in 10th place.
Both teams have had enough rest since their last competitive action. Let's hope for an energetic game!
Minai form and stats
Overall Premier League stats at home this season for Minai are 1-1-2 (wins-draw-losses).
Minai are anxiously hoping for a goal as it's been 208 minutes since the last one in league fixtures. (Scored by A. Shynder).
Minai lost their last game at Desna (placed 4th) after a 0-1 scoreline. The spoils were shared after 90 minutes before that, a home game that ended 0-0 versus Rukh Vynnyky.
Some supporters pointed their nail-bitten fingers at Anatoli Nuriev for missing a penalty kick versus Desna in the 6th minute. It's possible that a goal in that situation would have changed the outcome.
