There's been ups and downs for these two teams so far this season, occupying positions near the middle of the Premier League table so far. Here's the Oleksandria - Zorya latest:

Insights:
  • Oleksandria have played more matches over 2,5 goals home than away.
  • Zorya has the fewest conceded goals in the first half (1) in Premier League

It’s a hectic schedule for the away team, as they were in action only three days ago in the Europa League. That game was also an away game, at Sporting Braga. It will be interesting to see if they are fully ready and rested for this match, and/or if some changes in the lineup is necessary.

Oleksandria form and stats

The home supporters can't complain about results here at KSK Nika as Oleksandria have scored 15 goals to get 14 points from 7 games. The overall stats in the Premier League are 4-2-1 (wins-draws-losses). The last three games played by Oleksandria, regardless of arena, have all ended draws.

Oleksandria drew their last game, 1-1 away at Kolos Kovalivka (placed 6th). Before that game, the 3-0 home victory against Minai.

A painful moment in the game against Kolos Kovalivka was the missed penalty kick from Dmytro Grechyshkin in the 15th minute. A goal there would obviously have changed the match and probably the outcome.

Oleksandria can score goals in their home matches. After 7 league matches they have found the net 15 times. Oleksandria's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 9 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.

Zorya form and stats

The story so far for the visiting team on their Premier League travels is 2 wins, 2 draws and 1 defeat.

It might be tough going out on the road again for Zorya, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 0-2 versus Sporting Braga. Prior to that match, a home win 3-1 against Dnipro-1 in the Premier League.

There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Zorya manager V. Skripnik as the team has another away game coming up in only two days, this time against Desna.

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.
