Season ticket holders at Stadion Avanhard haven’t seen too many victories this season, with Minai languishing in the 10th position so far. The guesting Zorya will be hopeful to defend their higher league position in this one.

Insights:
  • Zorya has the fewest conceded goals in the first half (1) in Premier League

Zorya could be less fresh than the hosts in this fixture, as they played a Europa League game only three sleeps ago. That game, against AEK Athens, was also an away game. It's a tiring schedule for Zorya.

The Ukrainian Premier League is the highest division of football in Ukraine. It was created in 1991 as Ukraine declared independence from the Soviet Union. Twelve teams play each other twice in a 22 match regular season to create a league table. The table then splits in half resulting in a Championship round and a Relegation round, each playing ten more fixtures.
