League round two of the Premier League season and the sides have digested the first game. Here's the Minai - LNZ Cherkasy preview:

Minai form and stats

Last season, Minai's league statistics were 8 wins, 9 draws and 13 losses, providing 10th spot in the Premier League. From these 30 matches they scored {22 goals} and conceded 33. Playing at home in the former season Minai generated 3-5-7 (win-draw-lost) with {10 goals} and 17 conceded.

In their previous game, the manager Sharan led his Minai to a defeat away at Dynamo Kyiv. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Stadion Mynai.

Preceding that match was the home game against Zorya that was lost 0-3.

This is expected to be a close game, with Minai perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Minai as a small favourite), we find 8 games. Minai has won 1 of these, drawn 2 and lost 5.

The table then splits in half resulting in a Championship round and a Relegation round, each playing ten more fixtures.
